Eric B. and Rakim

I've been seeing this Nike commercial lately that play's Eric B and Rakim's "Check the Technique". I've always wondered what song and group they sampled the music from... Anyone here know?

What element?


well since you asked where the "music" is from, I'm not sure...


I know the drums on Eric B. & Rakim's "Don't Sweat The Technique" is from Kool And The Gang's "Give It Up".

I didn't realize it came from different places..... Mostly I wanted to know about the sax and the bassline.

nod Oh yeah, the saxophone is from the same Kool And The Gang song "Give It Up".

I'm not sure where the (upright) bass line is from, though.
