um......you all know that the beasties ripped this song off as well, right?

in better terms, the song was "sampled", and it wasnt from the beastie boys.

Guido, that's the sample you're talking about?

"Draw Your Breaks" by Scotty - The Harder They Come Soundtrack by Various Artists

Just an observation. I see this happening quite a lot here. If you don't listen to a lot of hip hop music and don't know your sample sources then its a bad idea to make the acusation that this person or that person "bit" the Beasties because 9 out of 10 times you guys are just wrong. The bottom line is that hip hop is full of sampling and refrences and its not always easy to tell whether a person is strait up biting or not.

True. Especially since I'd say the majority of Beastie Boys tracks are sampled to begin with. Or, if not the main melody, some aspect of the song is sampled.

Im suprised this hasn't come up before.. I mean the VI track uses both "funky drummer" and "draw your breaks" in the same manner as the beasties version.

It's a fuckin rip-off, no question.

I know it's a sample, but the two songs sound a lot alike. Vanilla's song came one year after the Beastie song. The two songs have the same title. Therefore, I think Vanilla copied the Beasties.

the more old school hip hop you listen to, the more the beasties music starts to make sense

and the beastie boys ripped off the wailers, if thats your outlook on it because thier song has the same title as the beasties. get it?

it was probably SUG KNIGHT. Remember he claimed to have written most of Vanilla's songs and when Ice wouldnt fess up to him, he hung him from a balcony by his ankle!

The main beat sampled in STOP THAT TRAIN (sampled by Beasties & VI) is Save The World by Southside Movement. They only sampled that 1 vocal from Draw Your Breaks for the chorus.

That ain't funky drummer dood. This is funky drummer http://www.amazon.com/gp/music/clipserve/B00009EJC5001005/0/ref=mu_sam_wma_001_005/002-9104330-1468039

And I agree that this is a bite.

What I'm saying is, there's a fine line between referencing/sampling and biting, and you have to be carefull making accusations if you don't know your sources and the context.

Here's one for you, The Scenario by the Beasties. Is it a Schooly-D Bite or a Schooly-D reference?

If they'd done it in the 90's, it would be a reference. But at the time, I figure it's biting P.S.K.

I think that applies to Desperado, actually. Have I heard Scenario?
