Brand Nubian Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down (Elektra0 1992

The very definition of a classic record. Samples Lou Donaldson's 'It's Your Thing' for that KILLER rhythm track.

A Tribe Called Quest Check The Rhime (Jive) 1991

KILLER Tribe tune which samples Minnie Riperton's 'Baby, This Love I Have' taken from one my favourite album of all time 'Adventures In Paradise' and also Average White Band's 'Love Your Life' from their 1976 album 'Soulsearching'

Ice Cube It Was A Good Day (Priority) 1992

An undeniable classic from the West Coast. Ice Cube's 'It Was A Good Day' used an awesome Isley Brothers' track called 'Footsteps In The Dark' and some nice rhymes over the top detailing a day in South Central. I always found Cube hit or miss to be quite honest but when he makes a good one, this is how it sounds-A1.
