I'm not terribly well versed on contemporary hip hop, but when I hear these songs I can't help but think a line here, a riff here, a beat here, would be sampling gold:

Never My Love- The Association.

The bassline to Daily Planet by Love

Can anybody else think of any? I just thought of those two.

I'm not a huge Siouxie Sioux and the Banshees fan, but I always thought that hook from "Cities in Dust," coupled with the right beat, would sound pretty solid.

James Chance's "Contort Yourself" bassline would be good in a hip hop track.

The guitar line in Head Of David's "108" would work well, too.

Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire saying "ooh! what a wicked, wicked man!"

The chorus to "When Sly Calls (Don't Touch That Phone)" by Michael Franks.

The guitar riff from "Graveyard" by the Butthole Surfers

Frame by frame by King Crimson

Ben Adrian

that simple riff from the begining of BSS "almost crimes". and drums, too.
