Some of the remixes are decent enough, but at the end of the day
it's still the original version that I like best.

This was one of my favorites from the breakbeat era of the early 90’s !!!

Awesome track! I have a version on a white label I got from HTFR with 4 other tracks on it, but not sure if its anything good or not. Anyone seen this before?

its just that bassline :)

‘Who’s the bad man? utilizes the old ‘Incredible bongo band’s Apache’ break to its’ full potential, and with cut up old school reggae dancehall session vocals thrown in for good measure. Every part of this track works well, all basically coming together in perfect harmony, dub stabs add to the overall effect. The only question is this, what sort of a track is this? Dub, reggae, hip hop, breakbeat, or possibly even house, track this baby down and you decide, either way you won’t be disappointed.

This track was first released on a white label and it did virtually nothing. Then it was picked up by the Leftfield owned 'Hard Hands' and proceeded to destroy dancefloors all over the place.

Quite simply this has one of the fattest examples of the Apache breakbeat you are ever likely to hear and one of the best 'dubby' bass lines ever.
