Let's be honest, most rap songs aren't better works than the songs they sample. Many are just as good, and some are better in certain aspects, but as far as creative works go, it's pretty common to hear the original track and find that it's just a better piece than the rap song that samples it. What do you believe are examples of exceptions.

Here's one in my opinion.

And I'm talking about the overall song by the way, not just the beat.
