It hit me the other I had no idea where this sample came from so I looked it up:

Maybe a coincidence and maybe not.

But the rhyme
MC's are like clay pigeons when I'm shootin' skeet
I just yell pull and Mike drops a beat

There's an actual Olympian named Michael Diamond that is a trap shooter.

^yeah I remember that.

I always liked the opening sample "we are having a baaaaall up here....."

The Carl Sagan rhyme was hilarious, too. Not the most loved or best song, but it really has some classic nonsense in it.

i thought I knew where it was from, but I was wrong.

probably one of my most personally referenced songs while at work. "you played yourself"....

I'm not a hundred percent on this, but I believe cLOUDDEAD actually sampled that into one of their songs a few years before. Only they let another line play out after "Wha-how, what a loser!... (a girls voice)"I dunno he's kinda groovy. That's all from memory. So like I said, I may be wrong.

Either way it's a great sample.

edit: I listened to the source sample. It's the same sample cLOUDDEAD used. Great find.
