Samplespotting Alert: I believe his production on the Aaliyah track that
became a hit -- is that the one with the baby cries? -- samples none other
than Perrey-Kingsley from the late '60s. He probably got it from the
"Incredibly Strange Music, Vol. 1" compilation, unless perhaps it came
directly from the source...

My Dream Lineup: Imagine Dr. Octagon Vs. the Ultramagnetic MC's!
[da-dum-dum] But seriously, folks...how about EPMD and Fatboy Slim -- both
turn obnoxious samples into moments of pure genius... Or the Pharcyde Vs.
Wagon Christ -- both turn the word silly upside-down and make it into a
complement. Or, better yet; forget Wu-Tang Vs. Funkstorung, Wu-Tang Vs.
Panacea would be a soundclash for the ages...
