wu tang didnt sample hihache! they actually sampled biz markie! if you listen closelly you'll find that "fly like an eagle" sample and "hihache" sample in wu tang's song. rza sampled biz markie's song.

ye I can definitely hear "fly like an eagle" in "aint nuthin to f**k wit". I submitted it but i doubt it will get accepted

The "cracking bones" sound is definitely him. He does it often.

Hmmm....I know that Biz Markie is an incredible beatboxer. But I don't think that he also ...."created" the background breakbeat...'ll have to listen again.

@Thomas, That's the HUMAN orchestra called Biz Markie.

ThomasWhatever said on Wednesday, 17 August 2011:
The Hihache-Break seems to be overlayed with some drum-machine samples as well. In Biz Markies track the break is always overlayd with vocals or scratched sounds so I don't think The Wu-Tang Clan sampled it from the Biz but directly from "Hihache". In "Wu-Tang Clan ain't nuthing to f-u-c-k wit" the small flick of at the beginning of the Break could be from the Underdog theme.

I just asked myself if the clashing bones sound is a heavily modified sample which starts at 1:01 in "Nobody beats the Biz". But after some playing around with Audacity I don't think it's from that track. There could be plenty of other sources.
