Even though I'm a hip hop listener with jazz running through my veins (grew up around Jazz clubs in Northern California) I have to say that there aren't too many memorable sax samples in hip hop beats and the ones that are memorable earn that distinction in my mind for the wrong reasons.

Let Me Clear My Throat by DJ Kool has a baritone sax riff originally performed by St. Clair Pickney of the James Brown Band. That one's memorable for the right reasons and circa '96 I think.

Yeah, sorry nothing really springs to mind besides that, which makes me think it's pretty underground.

My favorite rap beat featuring a sax right now is Real People by Common (with an all-star jazz cast).

I'm also feeling the Soulive Bridge to 'Bama remix by Hi Tek ft. Talib Kweli:
