Rare groove is an umbrella term used to describe very rare vintage records. The most common type of rare groove records are 1970s funk recordings.

Rare groove records have been sought after by not only collectors and lovers of the types of music, but also by hip hop artists and producers. Sampling is one of the biggest aspects of hip hop and rap, and these types of records provide breaks for artists to use in their songs.Or|date=October 2008 While more prominent in older recordingsFact|date=October 2008, such as Eazy E's "Eazy Duz It" (which samples the The Detroit Emeralds, Bootsy Collins, Funkadelic, Isley Brothers, Sly & the Family Stone, The Temptations and even Richard Pryor), samples can still be found in modern hip hop and drum and bass.

1980s and post-disco

After the collapse of funk influenced disco, many musicians who had made a name for themselves under disco's mainstream success had the spotlight taken away from them. Many of these artists have had their songs remixed and remastered by house music artists.
