organix came out before black sunday. and that version of "popcorn" was the second thing we ever recorded. as for the bass. that's just a typical latin jawn that most latin groups play. muggs sampled a dizzy gillespe (sic) record for "lick a shot". even though we now know it was a cowinkydink, we suspected joe nicholo (studio 4/ ex-rufhouse partner/ recipient of everlast's wrath at the end of "jump around" ("this is dedicated to joe "the biter" nicholo....grab the bozack!!! punk!!!") was pulling a "house of pain" on us. because he passed on signing "house..." in favor of kriss kross who of course had a"jump" song of there own. i had even gone as far to intern for ruffhouse records for 2 years just to get a foot in. there were some benifits (chris and joe paid for the you'll see nann in your lifetime video of "pass the popcorn" ) but they always fronted. i thought maybe the goats (who in todays climate of hard rock/hip-hop was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy ahead of their time) lackluster sales discouraed him. but then he turned around and signed this trio from jersey on our same vibe. so i quit. i said i'd make him regret it. so when "blunted" came out and we outsold them 4 to 1 i always ribbed him "you should've signed us....at least we debuted in the top 100." he still had faith in these motherfuckers.....i was like damn....and then "the score" came out. then joe was on some "...and you were saying??" vibe.............................................................................hey. say whatever. at least "things fall apart" outsold "ghetto superstar". but to answer your ?uestion. what you hear on organix is not ""samples" they are "lines" (as in josh played the same LINE)<P><P><P><P><BR>"god made me the lucky recipient of madhouse 24....how bout you?"
