According to the
sampling website database
WhoSampled.com, "Let a Woman Be a Woman" is on the Sampled in More Than 200 Songs list and was on the Most Sampled Tracks list at #100 with more than 180 songs sampling, until being knocked off by the
Fairlight CMI digital synthesizer sampled for the "ORCH5"
orchestra hit sample, itself sampling the
Philharmonia Orchestra's
Firebird Suite by
Igor Stravinsky. Nonetheless, it is one of the most sampled singles primarily due to the
breakbeat after the line "Some people don't like the way Sally walk" which lined up to the sound effect of a
firetruck, giving it its unique sound. The songs sampling include "
If My Homie Calls" by
2Pac (1991), "
Rusty" by
Tyler, the Creator ft.
Earl Sweatshirt and
Domo Genesis (2013), "Sally" by
Stetsasonic (1988), where the entire song centers around the "Sally" line and sample, "
Welcome to the Terrordome" by
Public Enemy (1989), and even outside of hip-hop with
"Jack-Ass" by
Beck (1996) and "
How You Like Me Now?" by
The Heavy (2009). ==References==
