strop trying to flex you knowledge on samples. this is beginner digger material...lol. it's a great song without any beastie boys! ON IT OWN. nobody cares that you can quote an obvious sample material...
@donnywal well, I've been a somewhat assiduous digger for a while and I didn't know about this album. So the connection with Paul's Boutique is a good info to me :)
Yeah I thought it was bad for artists to sample like that but it was a New York/hip-hop thing to sample back in '89 and I think the Beastie Boys used it well and turned it into something new. For me being about 13 and hearing Beastie Boys Car Thief, this track by Funk Factory would have otherwise been inaccessable to me. Thanks to the Beastie Boys and their sampling I've discovered so much beautiful music. The Beastie always seem to sample music lovers music. Not too pop and from a broad range.
@DieMenschMaschine85 If you mean this original Funk Factory one, no, not at the time. Lately I've had a thing for fusion and funk and came across this song.
Cool. Was just wondering it was released or if it was well known back then. Would you reccomend any any tracks like this? Recently I've been listening to some Funk/Fusion myself but because there's a Fusion radio station in GTA IV called Fusion FM. David Axelrod and David McCallum - "The Edge and Funk in the Hole" by Gong are some of the tracks on it.
@DieMenschMaschine85 I have some other funk/fusion tracks, but don't know if they'd be your thing or not. They're a bit different from this one. If you're interested, I could send you links in a message.
...Hmm... this is not what I was looking for... I guess there are two funk factories? I just can't find the other one. ....Sorry for commenting on the video for something useless....Thank you for uploading, I am sure it has pleased others.
does anyone know the musicians on this album? i know the drummers are steve gadd and gerald brown, and the lead is michael urbaniak. anyone know any of the others?
Like Mass Production's Firecracker, this is a song every bit as cool (and far more family and office friendly) as the rap songs that used them as backtracks. I dig these original nuggets of good times.
Thanks sooooo much for posting this. I've been wondering what that hella funky beat was behind the Beastie Boys 'Car Theif' track for yonks....now I know!!
I would love to get my hands on anything MICHAEL URBANIAK produced. DOPE

I believe The Beastie Boys used this as the background for a song on the album, Paul's Boutique.

Car thief to be precise.

Yeah, right. "Car Thief". Good memory. Now, I'm not so sure what I think about using other people's music like that, though.

It's an art, just like creating music.

@DieMenschMaschine85 That's an interesting point that some songs would be unheard by some if they weren't sampled.

@ganyuehan : Cheers for the reply. Did you hear this song as it was released at the time? Just curious.
