The Mexican

Artist: Babe Ruth
Released: 1972
Sampled On…:
Organized Konfusion "Prisoners Of War" (1991)
(Produced By Organized Konfusion)
Babe Ruth

Amir Says: Some cats in hip-hop definitely sampled that, but for me, it's about the b-boy aspect. There's a few songs like "Apache" and that one, when you hear it, it gives you goosebumps.

Kon Says: Another b-boy anthem. It was a crazy record. I think initially, I had it on a 45 under a different name—same group, but it's from a soundtrack. I think for a Fistful of Dollars or something like that. I can’t even remember. But that’s a record that Kool Herc killed ‘em with. Not that I was there, but reading my history and hearing about it. Another timeless b-boy anthem.

    Also used by the Bomb Squad again on 'Night of the Living Baseheads'. I reckon the Isleys were first with this. JB had a bit of a rep for nicking other people's instrumentals. And replacing a vocal with horn lines seems more likely than the reverse.
