Deep Cuts from Paul's Boutique
Every song (with the exception of Hello Brooklyn) off of the Beastie Boys' seminal album Paul's Boutique contains at least one major sample to create the bulk of the track. Nobody, except the Beastie's and their co-writers at the time The Dust Brothers, know just how many samples were used for this album. Probably more than a hundred. But, I was interested in tracking down the major samples. The cut's used to create the drum beats , the bass lines or guitar grooves that make up a good portion of each song.
So, based on the fact that many of these songs are still in-print, posting these songs are not necessary what most folks would call "legal." Also, the fact that one of these tracks are from The Beatles and another one is from Jimi Hendrix, it makes it very, very illegal. So to avoid litigation, I'll only be leaving these gems up for a week.

Makes a great mix tape too! (provided you don't have a problem with The Eagles).
Good for summer b-b-q, rollerskating, and girl watching.
