Most of the hiphop fans don't know that bollywood played an important role in hiphop production.Trend was started by timbaland then followed by scott storch and so on.
Here are my top 10 Indian Influenced and Sampled Song in Hiphop list.
Remember - Click On the Title of the song to play the video
10.La coka nostra Ft Bun B - Choose your side(Produced By Alchemist)
Production of the 'choose your side' sound more old school bollywood compare to the original one 'MUJJE MAAR DAALO'.Shoutout to Alchemist.
Sampled From - ASHA BHOSLE - MUJHE MAAR DAALO
Sample appears at 1:38, 3:21, 3:08
PRODUCER
Alchemist is one of the underated producer in hiphop,his production sounds way more different compare to other producers in the game.His production are not bass heavy oriented but the sound of the production is certified classic and Old school.
PRODUCER
Not much is known about Sean T,he is still a ghost producer to real and digital world.Berner did not gave him the credit that he deserve for the dump track
8.Meek Mill - Indian Bounce(Produced by Jhalil Beats)
Southindian sample is playing in the background of the indian bounce,meek mill spits straight freestyle kind of verse with no hooks
PRODUCER
Jhalil most production include siren throughout the beats.Early in Jahlil Beats career he would use samples, recently he said he was moving away from using samples in his music, "I ain’t trying to share my publishing. If you sample they might take 80%, leave you with 20''.
7.Mobb Deep Ft Young Buck - Give It To Me(Produced By Profile)
Give it to me was a club song,back then this kind of production were bangers until auto-tunes and trap polluted the hiphop,this song was perfect example how indian music heavly influnced hiphop production 10-15 years ago.
Sampled from - Alka yagnik ft Manpreet akhtar ft Udit narayan - Tujhe yaad na meri aaye
Sample appears at 1:08
PRODUCER
PROFILE is also a Ghost producer to real and digital world.Maybe he is a low key producer for some other famous producer which is quite commom in present era of hiphop.
6.Busta Rhymes - Fire It Up(Produced By Busta Rhymes and Spliff star)
The song that used this Sample was produced by Panjabi MC.It is the only sample that has been cleared to be used from all the Bhangra tracks.Mundian to bach ke sample appears at 1:05 on fire it up.
Sampled From - Punjabi MC - Mundian to bach ke
Sample appears at 0:37 (and throughout)
PRODUCER
Mixing of the production was not creative,all busta rhymes and spliff star did was copy and pasted the whole sound of mundian to bach ke.They both are not proffessional producers.
5.ICE CUBE - Smoke Some Weed(Produced by Bud'da)
Even though song is west coast,it will take you to parvati valley in himachal pradesh.One can hand rolled charas and ganja very commonly in all region of parvati valley.The girl vocal 'Smoke some weed' used in the song got that indian accent to it and production also got sitar(Indian instrument) flavour to it.
PRODUCER
Bud'da is an underated american westcoast producer,Composer and songwriter.Don't get suprised if y'll ever found out that Bud'da was a lowkey Dr.dre producer back in the days or co-producing the track without even getting credit.
4.Jay Rock Ft Lance Skii - Telegram(Produced By J.LBS)
Girl vocal in the background is indian influence and so the sitar in the production.This was one of the most liked track on the 90059 album.
PRODUCER
Jason J.LBS Pounds is the young talented producer.His every production differs unlike DJ mustard,Lex luger,Mike will and Young chop who are new generation producers.
3.Timbaland Ft Magoo - Indian Flute(Produced By Timbaland)
Timbaland does not shy while sampling Indian/Arab music.Even though song sample colombian song,the sound of the flute is indian influence and the girl singing is in hindi.The video also got Desi vibe to it.
PRODUCER
Timbaland can play like 8 to 9 instruments still his production are 60% of Indian/arab Influenced/sampled,atleast that what' would i say decade ago.Now he is not consistent anymore like he used to in the hiphop game,one can blame it on all the lawsuit he been through for not clearing sample.
2.Jay electronica - Dimethyltryptamine(Produced By J.dilla)
Production of the song sound mysterious and video is shot in nepal,this is the closest any international rapper had been to indian atmosphere for making of song video.Jay electronica kick some deep knowledge on this track.
''Drill 'em, let the skin peel off to reveal him
Then spray 'em wit them rhymes you like spilling
Hit 'em up real, real good but don't kill him
We only want to burn him to the point that they willing
To give the location of the blank face villain
Who split atoms and give mushrooms to civilians''
PRODUCER
J.dilla Born 1974 - died 2006
J.dilla is a legend in my book,he could play like 11 to 12 instruments unlike present generation FL-Studio producers.They say hiphop not gonna get hook like natedogg anymore,sameway hiphop never gonna witness production like J.dilla anymore.He was a real definition of producer,when its come to sampling he was untouchable,the way he mastered that art was G.O.A.T(Greatest of all time) and innovative.
In 2005,J.dilla toured Europe performing on wheel chair.It was later revealed that he suffered from thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, a rare blood disease, and possibly lupus.
J Dilla died on February 10, 2006, three days after his 32nd birthday and the release of his final album Donuts, at home in Los Angeles, California. According to his mother, Maureen Yancey, the cause was cardiac arrest.He made Donuts album when he was in the hospital dying which was amazing.Even on his hospital bed he had production machine beside of him.
1.Mos Def Ft Slick Rick - Auditorium(Produced By Madlib)
Everytime i play this song,people ask me - Is it Hindi Song?,Infact First time when i heard this song i was myself shocked.Whats more shocking is - Madlib does not sample indian song though it might be indian influence.Everything is perfect about this song from BARS to production.
Sampled from - Madlib - Movie Finale
Sample appears at 0:06(and throughout)
PRODUCER
Madlib has described himself as a "DJ first, producer second, and MC last,".Madlib can play 8 to 9 instruments.Like alchemist his production are not bass heavy oriented but old school and classic.I would say only 5% of rappers in the industry would be able to rap on his beats if they ever made a Duo album.

9.Berner Ft Mac Dre - Dump(Produced by Sean T)
This track is also heavy influenced by old school bollywood from the start.It takes you back to nostalgic bollywood days where a villian is chasing the hero and the intense music is playing in the background.PRODUCER
