Thats the only thing I don't really like about the song. The beat is a classic beat, but not Jazzy Jeff's. The beat is from Gang Starr's "Words That I Manifest." I think Jeff should only use his original beats only, because his beats are awesome. Sure, he did change the beat slighty, by adding in a shaker and a few other little things, but the main orginial sample is from Gang Starr. The song is definitely dope though, but I think that Jeff shouldn't use beats like that. Just like the Ntro, on The Magnificent, he took the main orginial sample from ATCQ's "Butter," and reused it. I kinda think its unoriginal, but they are still great songs that I like a lot.
Jeff just used the same sample..just because someone else used the sample doesn't mean Jeff can't use it..
