    Samples - The Jackson 5 "I Want You Back" From The 60's On The Intro, And The High Pitched Noise Is Sampled From The Grunt by The J.B.'s !

      It’s been four years since remixer Nevin’s reintroduced Run-DMC’s ‘It’s Like That’ to a whole new generation of B-boys and girls. Since then a dozen other labels’ have hired him to recreate his multi-million selling remix feat on a plethora of old skool anthems. any of ‘em? Thankfully his Midas touch is back as this classic from ’88 gets housed-up with complimentary beats, a filtered intro and chunky percussion to match the near-timeless lyrical waxings of two hip-hop greats. To quote from another song of theirs, this should move the crowd.

        DJ Eric and Rapper Rakim first released this in 1987 where it only made a slight impression on the charts. Then came the inevitable remix by Danny D and Norman Cook under the pseudonym Double Trouble and it took the country by storm.

          This is another lovely classic by eric b and rakim. They together recreated a oldschool classic with a nice flavour to it.
