This track was a catalyst for dozens of mid-90's jungle + hardcore cuts. Obviously it's been sampled too many times to count, but here are a handful of the best cuts:
DJ Delirium - Be Happy
Thankfully the acapella has been digitally re-released, so modern producers can still grab vocal snippets for their own productions. Great track! -

Edited 19 years agoOne of my favorite Mary J cuts, very deep and classy. Puff Daddy uses a sample from "Money (Dollar Bill Y'all)", an early hip hop / electro classic by Jimmy Spicer, and turns it into a downtempo gem akin to his doper-than-dope remix of Method Man "I'll Be There For You / You're All I Need to Get By". Big big big !
