In my cruising around the web to see if there was a YouTube or the like clip for Positively Black's "Escape From Reality," which samples "Dragon Attack," I found a database site that outlines a few more Queen samples I didn't know about. This isn't just Vanilla Ice stuff. Anyone heard any of these less-than-obvious ones below? Is there a FAQ for this? Can anyone add any more? Besides "A Night at the Hip-Hopera" and Q-Unit?

Too many of them I'm afraid. Just few names from my recently bought releases:
Killa Quey da Don
Super Dave
etc. - they all have used WWRY and it's only rap artists...
Back in the nineties the very respected Brazilian rock band "Ira" used WWRY samples for their version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, called "Você Ainda Pode Sonhar": link
There's also a very bad Brazilian rap I saw recently that uses WWRY. I don't know the band's name, sorry.

"Save Me" are sampled by Sheek Louch, and the song is called "How I love(d) you". It's a great rap-song!
U-GOD from the Wu-Tang Clan has taken a verse from "Another one bites the dust", and I think the song is called "Rumble".
"Princes of the universe" are sampled by a rapper I can't remember the name of.. But it's only a couple of years old.. "Here we are, born to be kings! We're the princes of the universe", this line goes on and on..
Many of my friends are really into Hip Hop, and a lot of times I jump from the chair, and they go like "was it Queen?!" So I'm sorry I don't remember more of the songs, but I will come back to this! Nice subject!
...but I can't belive that nobody has ever sampled "Cool Cat", it would be perfect! Also "My baby does me" and "I'm going slightly mad".........
