Reviews & Discussion
The bassline and the intro of "Smack My Bitch Up" is completely inspired from Jazz-artist Randy Weston's track "In Memory Of", first recorded in 1963. The track can be found on "HIGHLIFE, Music from the New African Nations". In my opinion this is yet another example of Howlett's extraordinary capability to blend musical styles and pay a little hommage to great music of the past. The infamous vocal sample "Smack My Bitch Up" was taken from the Utramagnetic MCs' "Give the Drummer Some".
