Interesting when he says

any producer worth his salt knows all 10 of these samples

which is true I guess for the most part but it does come across a little bit elitist (it's El-P though cmon)

I dig that he picked Stiletto cause for a Billy Joel record that break really was savage from the get, before the piano drops, even.

You ever see the video (for some other Billy Joel song but the intro is Stiletto? where these dudes walk to the subway station old school new york, in gang formation?

classic

I gotta lotta reading to do, I can't wait to see all the others' lists.

el-p is hilarious and douchy all in one lovable bag

I'm pretty sure that's the song that really kept me interested in hip-hop. Bob James's TWO is one of the two first albums I ever heard music from in life, so I knew "Mardi Gras" like it was the alphabet song -- we had a cassette copy that was the soundtrack to family gallavants between NY and PA -- I can't hear that song without seeing that PA keystone shield to this day.

though actually, i dont see how thats elitist - its not like hes talking about any records that obscure. there should be standards. and homework to do.
