Over ten years into his recording career, Roy Ayers released his Ubiquity album 'Change Up the Groove' in 1974. This post will examine the producers and artists that sampled Roy Ayers's 1974 album for their own works.
Among many of the tracks sampled by Madlib for his Quasimoto album 'The Unseen' is Ubiquity's 'Sensitize' sampled on 'Come on Feet'. Large Professor produced the hit single 'Keep on Rollin'' in 1993 for A Tribe Called Quest by sampling Ubiquity's 'Feel Like Making Love' from 'Change Up the Groove'.
The most sampled track on the album however is the album's closing cut 'The Boogie Back'. The song was sampled by Ced Gee for the Ultramagnetic MCs song 'Funky' from the classic 1988 album 'Critical Beatdown'. In the same year on the West Coast, the song was sampled for another classic hip-hop album: N.W.A.'s 'Straight Outta Compton'. A sample of 'The Boogie Back' appears on the caustic cut 'F--- Tha Police' produced by Dr. Dre and DJ Yella. Six year later, 'The Boogie Back' would back the West Coast sound again when it appeared as a sample on Coolio's 1994 album 'It Takes a Thief' on the Dobbs the Wino produced single 'County Line'.
