@buttguy could be true. if you listen to 'the next ball game' by inell young, which bo also produced, it's the exact same drum track. and pt. II of 'thang' is just a dub of pt. I! eddie had so much going on..
craziest part about this track is the rumors that the whole drum track was just a tape loop of james black playing that pattern. the first practical drum loop in history? i dont doubt it either. he usually goes off in that classic nola style, on this track he doesnt stray from the groove even once. not even a fill.
@djweego two of my prize possesions - What's That Noise? on ltd edition vinyl - a copy with not one but two of the bonus beats 12"s and the CD of What's That Noise....

@timbearcub yep you're right they sampled the B-side intro with a heavy drum backbeat. Got my copy for crazy money last year...
