Just so we’re clear, I’m trying to make this the new theme of the Walkman posts, but I just discovered this sample, and had to do it again. The relatively unknown Lou Bond made this song To The Establishment in 1974, and I heard it for the first time 35 years later. But due to the beauty of hip-hop, I’ve heard the sample multiple times before, making it clearly familiar to my ears. After doing a little research and humming to myself (not recommended for those who work in cubicles), I finally remembered where I knew it from. Damn this joint is bad.

Check out the original and the subsequent songs that followed it’s path…
