"I Know You Got Soul" is a song recorded by Eric B. & Rakim. It was released as the third single from their 1987 album Paid in Full. It peaked at number thirty-nine on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, number thirty-four on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales, and number sixty-four on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.[citation needed] The track's production contains "digitized cymbal crashes, breathing sounds, and a bumping bass line."[1] It takes its name from a 1971 song of the same title recorded by Bobby Byrd which it prominently samples, and is frequently credited with popularizing the use of James Brown samples in hip hop songs.[2]
The song ranks #386 in Rolling Stone's 2004 list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All-Time.
The song is featured on the fictional radio station Playback FM in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The British band M|A|R|R|S sampled the title lyric of their number one UK single "Pump Up the Volume" from the acapella version of "I Know You Got Soul".[3] The song was also sampled in the song "International Affair" by Sean Paul (Feat. Debbie Nova). Timbaland quotes the opening line "It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you without a dope rhyme ["dope beat", in the Timbaland version] to step to," in the Aaliyah song "Try Again". Timbaland covers the whole first verse in his later song "Cop That Shit", with lyrical changes.
