This reminds me of a track richie spun at escape velocity (that I've been trying to track down...). The track I'm thinking of starts out with relatively sparse, well constructed midtempo (135bpm) techno, has a single vocal sample from Public Enemy (hear the drummer get wikkid), then drops in hip hop beats. Ok. A lot of songs have this sample in it. But this particular song is actually good. Does this ring a bell? -Sho -- sho@physics.purdue.edu <<-- finger this account to find out what I'm having for lunch! <A HREF="http://physics.purdue.edu/~sho/homepage.html>Sho Kuwamoto</A>.
