[VictorDuhKidd]

nas could have used better rhymes on this beat but atleast used the beat instead of not using it.

[Clempt90]

You claim you love hip hop music but don't know this song ? Kill yourself

[lumby]

I love the beastie boys sample

[yendor6X5X6]

[eqrommel]

I dare you to sit still while this plays....

[Clempt90]

I remember hearing this song and cummin in my pants, at the time I wasnt sure what was happening but now I know it was the power of the funk rendering my nutsacks spent

[adamwiktor3]

[BearWindAppleyard]

This is probably on the top 5 of funkiest things in the world

[HypnoseElectrique]

DAMN

[CrowdPleeza]

Even though they had more popular songs on this album this became one of my favorites. It sounds good while driving.

[einfachbabo1988]

no this beat isnt stolen no

[TheSneakafellaz]

Nastradamus !

[ac2and4]

as i much as i like and respect EPMD they were never the greatest of lyricists. They got by because there production was tight! Eric Sermon for me has never been able to cut into a track!! His intentions r good and i like what he's sayin' but he has always needed more stamina and a wider range of vocabulary in my opinion,for what it's worth!!! Same old...just a different track!!!!

[mm102030]

This song's got a wicked beat going on there. It's addicting.

[SkyeView2011]

One of the top ten most crankiness songs of all-time. And yes nas did use it and use the beginning of parish's verse in one of his. Top Ten Classic. Back then the singles usually wasn't the best song on the album .

[2333mack]

Classic

[terantridell]

Relax while I tax!!!!!

[sfantop]

The Beastie Boys: Slow and Low from the classic album Licensed To Ill

[jsapreem]

This is better than the bullshit coming out today.

[gothamjediknight]

E-Double & the PMD lettin the funk flow on you suckas

[buddaht02186]

real talk this shits funkier than 2 shits in a toilet

[mohammad5]

...it's nastrdamus.

[jstory71]

One of the BEST hip-hop groups of ALL-TIME!!

[jstory71]

Cold-blooded....

[amck72]

[SuperOmnicron]

[kjackson2k1]

[SuperOmnicron]

[asianbabesuk]

[gzr313]

Funky track!

[autte]

(It's Not the Express) It's the J.B.'s Monaurail

the sample is from james brown people...

[taylor4660]

@autte James Brown's Funky People

[gatman0]

Nastradamus.. I knew I had heard a similar beat before somewhere.

[kingrob29]

Probably one their best sampling jobs. The Beasties and Otis Reading. Who would of thought that would work?

[autte]

@kingrob29 where do you insert james brown in this perfect picture?

[kingrob29]

@autte Oops forgot about that. However I did check whosampled shortly after I got your mesage.

[kingrob29]

@kingrob29 Please disregard the message I sent u before this one if it got thru. Thanks.

[theEdinero]

@kingrob29 Who did they sample besides Otis Redding, what song?

[kingrob29]

@theEdinero The JB's Monaurail. Check out whosampled for that or other songs.

[theEdinero]

@kingrob29 Thank's boss.

[kingrob29]

Do a spin grab my nuts n start taxin!

[petewizdom]

Opening sample is from Otis Redding's "Nobody Knows You (When You're Down and Out)".

This song is a testament to the power of bomb ass samples.

[kingrob29]

@petewizdom  Word!

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

@petewizdom

Bobby Womack also performed that song.

[blargharm]

@petewizdom wow i was randomly listening to otis redding's "dock of the bay" and suddenly had an urge to hear this song, think there was some subconscious shit going on there

[Dactuck]

@blargharm Oh. I call it a natural proclivity to funk and good music.

[frankwhite432]

damn this beat is funky

[acedaface954]

oh so this is where nas got the idea from. wonder who epmd got this from?

[hovhaness]

It's The JB's Monaurail

Search here using this exact text

It's Not The Express, It's Sauce's Monaurail

It was a bit of a funk tribute of Trans Euro Express by Kraftwerk

If you haven't heard that one you must.

Also Express by BT express was another

in the same ilk to check out.

[acedaface954]

riiight. trans europe express was what put afrika bambaataa and the zulu nation on the scene. that shit is twisted. thank god for the old school.

[Dollaboy222]

yea dis go hard yea
