Although this song has been sampled quite a bit, I always associate it with The Fearless Four’s “Rockin’ It”. The beats on Jay-Z’s records have always been more interesting to me than his lyrics. Many have been pretty incredible.

i forget their name but some mid-90’s hip-hop/r&b group had a popular single using the sample you have in mind. kraftwerk gets sampled alot by hip hop artists, ever since afrika bambaataa.

Good call. Kraftwerk is def a strong influence if not an outright sample in Sunshine..
Though the type of “echoed” keyboards sound reminds me of hip-hop tracks in the nineties like B.I.G.’s “Honey” with Maria Carey..
