A brief history of rap on the bass guitar.

Much thanks to Fluff (Ryan Bruce) for reamping the bass and having a fantastic beard.

Everybody saying 5 is actually Under Pressure, but nobody remembers that 17 is actually Good Times by Chic

Juicy - Notorious B.I.G.
Excursions - a tribe called quest
Buggin' out - tribe called quest
Express yourself - NWA
Mathematics - Mos def
O.P.P. - naughty by nature
Passin me by - the pharcyde

Probably a personal preference but this would be my list

Everytime I hear that Coolio song intro all I think is.."as I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain".

If these bass lines are fat, then reggae bass lines are obese

"Insane in the Brain" at 00:50 straight into "Woo Hah" is so good...I love how you filled in the rest of the production with the upper strings

To everyone who points out the Queen v Vanilla Ice thing, I'm sure he's aware. It was subtle, but he looked really bored when he played it, like... like he was annoyed. Like, "C'mon, really?" I have a feeling he portrayed that intentionally to reveal how he feels about the whole situation. That's theoretical, but it's possible.

These all sound like they could be from the Bully soundtrack.
