Money Mark made one super funky organ intro to one of the most recognizable and beloved songs from Check Your Head. Did this song make you look up who Eddie Harris was?
The standout track from the Beastie Boys' smash hit Ill Communication album nearly didn't make it onto the record at all. According to Ad-Rock, "'Sabotage' was recorded as an instrumental, and the vocals weren't added until two weeks before the record was completed. It was the last song on Ill Communication to be finished.
One of the Beasties' best songs, without a doubt. It's really rare for them to use that many samples from the same song. But It works & they made it their own without taking anything away from the original song. The original is called Root Down (And Get It) by Jimmy Smith.
"We had heard that [Led Zeppelin drummer] John Bonham had used a really long kick drum on something and thought it would be interesting to put his technique to the test. Taking full advantage of the size of the G-Son live room/basketball court, we wrapped a long piece of cardboard from a refrigerator box around the kick drum and then put a mic at the far end of it. Mike played the beat, and we looped it. ...The thing I always liked best about this cut was the sample of the intro to the Bad Brains song 'I.' There's something cool about sampling a hardcore record to make a hip-hop record, especially when that record happens to be the Bad Brains." - Adam Yauch, 1999
This song is so awesome & different from anything else-it stands alone. It is it's own genre. Name another song that has this much going on & still sound this good. Can't be done. There are a few unclassifiable songs on this album.
