Good point, but in a track title + thought this was quiet a famous song... I don't mean this in ANY wrong way, but I think we still have a LOOOONG way to go, before we even get a small percentage of all samples/covers there ever were/are, this is really extensive :D Is this one right: at 1:10 sounds so much like "until the, tic tac you don't stop/quit". And I have even heard replayed samples in other songs of this cough in Clear my throat (but even I think that's just reaching). STOP! Hammertime...

No this is right. "Let me clear my throat" is not a common saying. Why wasn't it on here before? Not a lot of DJ Kool fanatics around I guess.

Is this too generic, cos I don't see why it wasn't on here before?
