Audio Two

The beat samples the drumbreak from The Honey Drippers' “Impeach the President”, but rearranged in a very unexpected fashion. Daddy-O did this mistakenly when he hit the wrong keys on his sampler’s keyboard, but recognized the funkiness of the resulting pattern. Rapped to a beat by Stetsasonic’s Daddy-O, Milk Dee’s lyrics continue to be referenced and sampled to this day.

Some examples include “Otis” by Jay-Z and Kanye West, The intro to Biggie’s Ready to Die, and “Nobody Speak” by DJ Shadow and Run the Jewels.
