Hey Flybri,
Eric B and Rakim sampled Israeli singer Ofra Haza for that song.

"This is my most favorite single ever, this remix even outshines the
original version which you would think is impossible. "Paid In Full"
(seven minutes of madness) is a breathtaking track which has a awe
inspiring sample of Ofra Haza's beautiful voice wailing over the "Paid
In Full" beat."

"But it was not until 1988, when American rap artists Eric B. and
Rakim sampled ``Im Ninalu'' on their dance hit ``Paid in Full,'' that
Haza became an international phenomenon."
MTV

"Haza was sampled by Eric B and Rakim on 1987's "Paid In Full," a
portion of which M.A.R.R.S. used for "Pump Up The Volume."

"i can confirm that Coldcut, used the bassline
from Denis Edwards/Siedah Garret track 'Dont Look Any Further'
Ofra Haza provided the wailing egyptian vocal on their mix of paid in full"
Google Groups seach terms: "paid in full" all samples
I also found confirmation of this from another archived post on usenet.

Howdy Mother!
The 'Don't Look Any Further' sample is VERY close, but that bassline
sounds like a synth, whereas in 'Paid In Full' it sounds like an
electric bass. Maybe EB & R hired a session muzo 2 play the riff??? If
U can find the flute source, I'd really appreciate it - I have heard
the song once before and found it 2 be quite funky...
Thanks.
FlyBri.

I have searched everywhere I can, and I find nothing about the flute
sample, its source, not even a hint of where they might have heard it.
Everyone mentions it, no one has a source.
I can add in that the drums are from Ashley's Roachclip, but thats all
i've found for samples from this song.
