Grasshopper Unit chorus sample

[LuciferHam]

Yo, just chucked on Hello Nasty remaster vinyl for the first time, cause I like to take my time and stuff and the Grasshopper Unit was missing the vocal sample in the chorus that is on my old CD version. Went like "cant wont dont stop rock the rhythm... cause I get down.." or something like that.

Doesn't seem to be on the vinyl unless my record players channels are fucked, which is possible. Or is this sample missing from newer versions for some reason?

There's several different versions on different releases which can be seen here (http://www.beastiemania.com/songspotlight/show.php?s=cantwontdontstop&band=b)

Good to have you back Beastiemania.com

it had to do with sample clearance if i remember correctly. that's why it's called can't wont' don't stop on like european releases and the grasshopper unit on us releases.

From what I remember when Hello Nasty Came out, it was another sample clearance thing. The sample is off an early Grandmaster Flash 12" called Superrappin' #2, when the group was still on the "Enjoy" label. In Europe, that record came out on different labels. Since the sample was left on the European versions but not the U.S. versions it might have something to do with the different labels having different ownership rights depending on the country and whether the owners in each country could be tracked down and bargained with. I know that with a couple of samples on that album the owners wanted too much money so the Beasties just changed the sample (e.g. the Snoop Dogg sample).

Does anyone have the European version? I used to have it, but I can't find it.
Thanks!

Ahh thought it might be something to do with sample clearance. The european one rules the most imo anyhow
