   After having to trek far to the parcel depot I just came home with the Japan only Sound Clash at the Root Down live recording from 2002 when Thes One had a beat battle with WillIAm from Black Eyed Peas (what yall think of them?) and I also got Ssence from Female Fun records (Prince Paul Itstrumental LP off them out now!) feat Double K, OUO, Kan Kick, Raw Produce, J Rawls and more... anyway Sound Clash, what can I say but sell your kidneys for this, for track 3 only even.
   
   I was on the phone when track 3 came on and up came this Jackson 5 sample (and I don't want to ruin it for you) but then the beat dropped, both of us on the phone were like

   "DOPE!!"

   
   
   
   well, i'm too hyped right now, I haven't listened to it all yet but needless to say it's dope... try and get a copy!
   
   
   PS - this is what some lucky bastard who was there at the time said:
   
   "WILL I AM vs. THES ONE (4/25/02)
   Big up to the Root Down massive for last night's Sound Clash@Gabah. In a production battle royal...Will I Am of the Peas and Thes One of People Under the Stairs came with the heat and battled for beat supremacy. Many of us are still recovering from neck injuries incurred at last night's historic event."
   
   so who won the battle?

   Word is Will did, but from the sounds of it... Thes held his ground. I even have heard rumors that Thes killed him, but there were a lot of hipsters in the spot biggin' Will's super-sound system beats up.
   
   That Jackson 5 flip was nasty. The Baron's theme is butta... and that the remake of the first hit for BEP is bananas.
   
   Thes sold a copy for like $40... good luck to those that try to nab it.

   who flipped that? I don't know much BEP stuff except their recent overplayed TV stuff ( ), what's the track called so I can check it out?

   Thes ought to roll out his rhymes from Ten Tough Guys for a battle. I would absolutely love to see him drop it live.
   
   "Yo! What would you do if I could prove you didn't exist and it was true. Like the misconstrued of soul solidified proof of your essence of you in the spoof of your birth."
   
   ...
   
   "My bad you don't really exist, so I got to, explain this so when I tell you how not to, you won't do it, I'm screwin your thinkin! I know I exist and I prove it cause I'm listening to you but I ask, what if God was an evil genius who only made you believe you were true?
   And your life was nothing man! Just a really long dream and when you die you'll start a whole new life, a whole new dream but that was just a dream, and it seems man you can't break out of the cycle."

   yeah, i heard this off yoyopo and we been baffled by this one sample. Thes uses it in the Jackson 5 track - "yes yes yall freak freak yall to the beat yall it's unique yall..." etc. Damn wheres it from? we thought it's from that Moby track bodyrock but it's not, it's just hella similar daaamn, we're both going nuts over it now, we're just buggin out - anyone know?
