"The Champ" is a song by The Mohawks, a group of session musicians assembled by Alan Hawkshaw. It was originally released in 1968 but failed to chart. However, a re-release made #58 on the UK Singles Chart in 1987[2] after being sampled many times. The song is based on "Tramp", a 1967 Lowell Fulson record that was covered extensively after its release.[3] The song chants the word "Tramp" rather than "Champ".
The song is perhaps better known for its usage as a sample in over 700+ songs;[4] it has been widely sampled and emulated (but not exclusively) in hip hop music. Songs to have sampled or interpolated it include:
