Top Billin' REMIX I believe.
it's them saying it over a drum. very un-sequenced (try mixing it). definitely not a loop.
oh yeah. I'm with you. I never thought it came from elsewhere. It's just crazy the amounts of people i've seen say other things. They just say "i don't think stetsa is the og" even though they have nothing else to say about where it's from.
funny enough, if you search the breaks, there's like 5 pager on this.
here it is, BPMd and microwave ready:

yeah, I got this somewhere at home, but many thanks for the MP3. I'm at work making a song with one of my students... this is gonna get them HYPE!
Compare it to all the Stet chants on "On Fire" or "In Full Gear" and you will hear that it is the same tone.
Compare it to the horn section of Kool & The Gang. You always know that it is K&TG because of their horn sound. Only them can sound like that.
Here it is the same. When these 6 guys shout together it got a certain sound that only these 6 can create.
Little trivia on top:
The production for "Top Billin'" was done by Daddy-O so to get the "Go Brooklyn" chant and reuse it for his own production is logical in a way.
I also heard that the drum pattern of "Top Billin'" came out of a mistake. Can someone confirm this story ????

I have heard that story a few times as well...and it happened to Phil Most Chill as well for his classic "On Tempo Jack"
I really wish I could remember where I read that article, can anyone help?
peace
I mean the flow of the drums are dope as hell, but not THAT ab-norm like the "Top Billin'" pattern.
Did Phill say the whole pattern was a mistake or just a part like the bassdrum or hihat programing ??
Peace

its a short bonus beat.
I always heard that they were trying to program the "Impeach the President" drums and didn't get it right but liked how it sounded anyway.
I was told it was done with a foot trigger and a numark or gemini mixer sampler.
LOLol!!!
Naw, it was no mistake. Just the result of using limited machinery (Casio RZ-1... no truncation and minimal sampling time). Had to chop that beetatch, replay it and try to make it fonkay. I think that random rap article in Grandslam made it sound like it was a mistake or a glitch or something... naw. I've made plenty of mistakes, but that wasn't one of 'em I can understand how it might sound kinda Top Billin-esque, cuz that damned Impeach high hat keeps coming in kinda crazy... just couldn't truncate it out (probably a good thing, too)
yup, that's the whole track as it is straight from the vinyl.
