      I read a Beastie interview a while back where they talked about how their daily itinerary in the 90s was to wake up, make coffee and breakfast, smoke pot, and then go to record stores in L.A. Crate-digging was their profession lol.
      I wish I had that profession.

      Being a beastie boys fan growing up with their cassettes and hearing these samples opened up a whole world of music to me, that I would have never otherwise found. Not many groups/bands can do that.

      I ran a record store when this was released and there was a nationwide contest with a hotline for answering where the sample that opens the album originated. The store owner and I opened our daily mail (aka promos) and immediately popped in the cassette, pressed play, looked at each other and screamed, "CHEAP TRICK!" Alas, the contest was already won.

    There was a big lawsuit filed by James Newton for the flute sample on "Pass the Mic". The Beastie Boys cleared the sample with the record company, ECM, but they never notified Newton, who claimed that he should've have received songwriter credits for the sample. The court denied Newton's case.

At the same time, I beg you to go back and complete what you have started. Just off the top of my head I can think of a few samples that are missing here, from Cheap Trick to NWA and Public Enemy. Not much, but you missed a few. Thanks again for what you have done here. So much amazing music I never would have known about if not for your efforts. Johnny Hammond? Kool and the Gang in 1969?

    It's amazing to see how much of the album that I grew up with was samples and still hand it to them, it's so transformative. It isn't just taking something from an old rock song and looping it but meshing several tracks together.
    And also, consider they did this pre-Internet or AI, finding dozens to hundreds of sounds to weave together. From random things for the Flying Nun to crafting the different basses on Professor Booty.
    I wonder though if I missed it, where did So whatcha want's "you can't fun on that" come from.

      Dont be, crate digging is an art in itself. Finding a small sample on a rare record and mixing it with other hard to find gems is time consuming and requires a knack for listening. Its not an accident that this record was good. Most of these old records would never get mentioned or played again if it wasn't for talented producers. Besides, they paid for most of these samples.

    So there's 3 samples for "The Blue Nun", the classical piece layered on top of the drums. Anyone know what it is?
