2At last check, the community seemed to be in favor of allowing them. While that particular question is a little out of the boundary of what the previous discussion was about, I'd still allow it.– Johnny Bones ModCommented Sep 24, 2015 at 13:14

Just answering to remove this question from the unanswered list.
Yes, questions asking to identify a sample used in a song are considered on-topic. Such questions are to use the identify-this-sample tag (but not the sample or sampling tags). Questions without enough details/research may be closed, though.
The current site policy (as of the date of this answer) on which ID questions are allowed can be seen here: Identification questions in general. What is allowed, and what is not?
