Wow!! this version of Root Down is crazy, ya´ll. It has a great combination of samples: the first sample that appears (bit in the background) in 0:00 to 0:49 is the legendary song Schoolly D-PSK, What does it mean? which was the first gangsta rap song. We continue with the second part, with the sample from one of the songs that has been repeatedly sampled by various artists of the old school Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash and West Street Mob, this song from The Incredible Bongo Band called Apache 2:14 to 4:06

Thanks for posting this clssic video. I remembered when MTV aired this joint. Better yet I remember when MTV aired videos. Anyway Free Tibet was a cool concert. In the 90's anything when it comes to festivals like The Free Tibet gig where you not only saw The Beasties but U2, R.E.M., Tribe Called Quest, Pearl Jam, Biz Markie & more. MCA did a great job to raised awareness on the struggles of Tibet. Thank you Adam for not only the music but for helping out people to raise their voice. R.I.P. MCA

The sampled song is called: Apache (Jump on it) is from The Sugarhill Gang is a combination of song The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash On the Wheels of Steel is from Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five

In fact, the sample is originally coming from "Incredible Bongo Band - Apache"
