Much like “More Bounce”, “Be Alright” had been sampled prior to this (and afterward), but “Keep Ya Head Up” is by far the most recognized use of it. One of his most popular records lifts one of Zapp’s first singles, “Be Alright”. It blew up seemingly out of nowhere in mid-’91, and kept the “More Bounce” list growing.ĢPac “Keep Ya Head Up” (1993) X Zapp “Be Alright” (1980): ‘Pac’s catalogue is practically littered with Zapp samples- more on that in a minute, though. “Ain’t No Future…” wasn’t the first time, but it was one of the best tracks to use it. As much as it’s associated with West Coast hip-hop, it’s also been sampled by East Coast artists ( EPMD, X-Clan, Heavy D), and an artist from the Midwest- Flint, Michigan‘s MC Breed. MC Breed “Ain’t No Future In Yo’ Frontin'” (1991) X Zapp “More Bounce To The Ounce” (1980): Truthfully, “More Bounce” alone could’ve gotten its own entry.

One of his most notable contributions was his use of the talkbox (commonly confused with Autotune), which he used as a main part of his music. It was used so much, that while Zapp’s popularity had dropped by the mid-’90s, Roger was being asked to appear on songs by some of the artists who were using it (i.e. Roger and his four brothers dropped their debut album in 1980, and their work has since been used over and over by some of everybody, especially artists from the West Coast. In addition to noting that my iPod was lacking a lot of their music that I liked, I also had to put them down for a future “90s Loved The 80s” entry, considering how much of their music was sampled during the ’90s. This particular episode featured Zapp, the ’80s funk group headed by Roger Troutman. About a month or so ago, I happened to be on Youtube and came across an episode of TVOne‘s Unsung, the documentary show about R&B artists of the ’70s and ’80s whose stories have rarely been told.
