You'll hear Herb Alpert's "Rise" live on today sampled (not trumpet, guitar) in Notorious B.I.G.'s "Hypnotize," with enduring appeal. I went to dig up the connection and it's a lot more interesting than I first suspected. "Rise" was actually composed by Herb's nephew, and the article goes into why the Alperts rejected many sampling requests before accepting Notorious.
