Jay Tee -

After hearing that Jay-Z song "Show My What You Got" ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=qopwiGItevI )
with the same horns from "Back to the Hotel" I was wondering did they sample N2Deep? Or did they just use the same sample you guys did?

Also, Wreckx-n-effect's song "Rump Shaker" dropped at about the same time "Back to the Hotel" did in '92 & used the same horns. Did you guys have any beef over that?

If everyone just used the same sample, what is the original sample from?

Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse

Thanks

"Back 2 The Hotel" came out before "Rump Shaker" in about 1991. The first time I heard that horns sample was on Public Enemy's "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" album in 1988. I'm not sure where Public Enemy sampled it from before that.
