Oh, my bad. Even cooler.

Master Po said on Tuesday, 08 December 2009:
She is (or in fact was, as she passed away some years ago) indeed from Israel, but with Yemenite origins, and the song is based on a traditional Yemenite Jewish song

djempirical said on Tuesday, 08 December 2009:
Yeah, except it's not Indian, it's middle eastern (she's from Israel). ;)

gomez408 said on Tuesday, 08 December 2009:
Wow this is epic man. They were sampling Indian songs since Eric B. and Rakim??!

Wow - theese guys at whosampled.com are fast - fixed now.

onkel-joz said on Tuesday, 17 November 2009:
The track image and video/song of Ofra Haza's Im Nin'Alu shown is not of the original 1984 release (the sample source), but form the 1987 re-release (after Eric B. & Rakim used the sample)

Original version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WR6EMzo66E

Spinks said on Friday, 21 November 2008:
Agreed, and fixed! Funny how Coldcut were officially spelt "Cold Cut" on this release

djempirical said on Friday, 21 November 2008:
strictly speaking, this should be titled "Paid in Full (Seven Minutes of Madness) Coldcut Remix" or something similar. it's not the album version.
