Can you identify these break beats?

I've been working on identifying all of the breaks on the 1994 Scarface Records Presents: Classic Beats & Breaks, Vol. I disc. I have 42 of the 71 identified, but there are still 29 I don't know/can't get. They are in this YouTube video:

I used to have this CD. I'd have to listen to your video when I get home to recall. I'm pretty sure Track #17 was just Main Source "Lookin out the Front Door", which (though it's hard to tell for 100% certain) uses samples from Gladys Knight "Who is She" rather than Detroit Emeralds. Paris was lazy and sampled half of these off rap records.

You're totally right. I don't know how I have Detroit Emeralds for #17 -- it's definitely the Main Source loop. The original Gladys Knight loop is #41, though.

Actually, the Detroit Emeralds joint does sound a lot like "Looking at the Front Door" without the shaker/sleigh bells. Whosampled says that's it. But it also sounds almost exactly like the Gladys joint, too.

#4 is just the Lafayette "Hihache" break, but taken off some rap record, so it's not quite the full loop.

#18 no idea.. just an 808 loop he got off some 80s rap record.

#30 is Thin Lizzy "Johnny the Fox"

#31 is Bobby Byrd "Hot Pants"

#53 is from an 80s rap record.. like mc shan 'the bridge' but not quite.. it's just the Honeydrippers "impeach"

#56 is the band Pleasure.. I think off their '78 LP

#58 Johnny Jenkins "I walk on gilded splinters"

#60 Bill Withers "use Me"

#63 Steve Miller Band "Take the Money and Run"

Out of the ones left the 3 I know off the top of my head are:

#23 Dynamic Corvettes - Funky Music is the Thing
#38 Duke Williams - Chinese Chicken
#67 Fancy - Feel Good

I recognize a few others but can't quite place them without digging through my breaks folders.
