Obviously an all time classic. Kind of slammed the doors open for anyone who was remotely interested with the soul, funk, jazz, rare groove, rock samples many Hip Hop artists were implementing in their productions. Admittedly it was happening for a while before this one came out. Loops of snippets were standard by acts such as BDP, J.V.C. Force, EPMD, Public Enemy, Eric B & Rakim etc (won't go as far back as the late '70s, early '80s when the original Hip Hop DJs were playing the records live). But samples of whole sections of backing tracks weren't as common. Both of the main mixes are classics in their own right. I think the swingier breaks version was probably the most popular with the masses, but I think my firm preference is the smoother and rather timeless classic jazz-funk Dominoes Mixes. Perhaps I'm biased, but this is one of several records which brings back a time when Hip Hop seemed very positive for me.
