A recent court case in Germany's "highest civil court has dealt electronic band Kraftwerk a blow in ruling that sampling music does not in principle violate copyright." Kraftwerk is perhaps one of the earliest backbones of hip-hop, providing the soundtrack for early b-boys, then Afrika Bambaataa's seminal "Planet Rock," then a slew of other hip-hop tracks.
For example:
Kraftwerk - The Man Machine
MC Lyte - Cha Cha Cha
Jay-Z feat. Foxy Brown
Hopefully the clearance of Kraftwerk's music in Germany will yield some equally rad tracks.
