Michael Jackson revolutionized music with his dance moves, thrilled the world with his music videos, and captivated everyone with his eccentricities. He had the unique ability to blend various genres in one musical gumbo, without losing his own identity. Over the years, hip-hoppers have shown gratitude to the Gloved One through the art of sampling.

As the world marks the King of Pop's memorial service, here are 10 hip-hop classics that sampled Michael Jackson.

Thank you Henry for puttin this list up. I was ready to ask for this list and I would figure that “It Ain’t Hard to Tell” would be number one. The track has so much energy and tribute to Jackson that it would bring a hardcore fan of his to tears. Nas really ripped that one up.

and who is it by, and what album?

- It sounds like a eminem song…is it?

(It’s Buckshot, most likely a song from the upcoming Buckshot/KRS-One album ‘Survival Skills’) – Henry
