Yes - you're right, and so was the source for shadows 'midnight in a perfect world'.


At least tell me im right about Shadow being the first to use Axelrod?


Actually I think Fat Joe's 'Bronx Keeps Creating It' was earlier still - does that make Joe Fatals production the first high profile use of an axelrod sample?


Can anyone shed more light on this?




Show & A.G. "Check it out" was before that I think. And I think the Artifacts remix with Busta was before that??


Shadow wasn't the first.
 
pretty sure the Beatnuts were the first to flip teh Axelrod....





edit:





upon further research it looks like Apache sampled Holy Thursday in 1992.

I think the Beatnuts were the first to raise an eyebrow. This is the first I heard DJ Josh sampled Axelrod and I still don't care.


Excellent LP, took me awhile to come around.
 
Along with Terry Callier, this would be another I would not regret spending $50-100 on right now.
 
Found these earlier in the year

The bit in Urizen where the bass kicks in with the drums has been used battles, I guess they just looped it up.
