'Diamond in the back...' Song Lyric......
The original song is 1974's "Be Thankful for What You Got" by William DeVaughn. The lyric line in question has been covered, sampled, and/or quoted in a gabillion hip-hop songs over the years....
share"Diamond in the back, / sun-roof top; / diggin' the scene with the gangster lean."
Ludacris' "Diamond in the Back" is the first song I've heard to use this sample.
Anyone have any other examples of this song being sampled?
