Been listening to Jay-Z's Bluprint album a lot lately (after a 3 year lay off) and keep on coming back to this song.
 

 
Am looking for recommendations of any artists with a similar kind of style, I particularly the poppy sounding loop that starts @ 45 secs.  When I say "sugary" I mean sweet sounding/radio friendly, which imo is definitely not a bad thing.  I love it.
 
I know its  abit of a tall order, but much appreciated if anyone can help me out.

Cheers!

After a bit of a google/Wikipedia/Youtube hunt I found out that the sample was from an old soul track by The Persuaders - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZtbt9oy038&feature=related
 
From Wikipedia:
"A remix of the song produced by Kanye West can be found as a hidden track on The Blueprint after the songs "Blueprint (Momma Loves Me)" and the other hidden song "Lyrical Exercise". The remix is composed of new verses by Jay-Z, a new instrumental sampling "Trying Girls Out" by The Persuaders and uncredited vocals from Michael Jackson and Chante Moore."
