Um...I have still not heard Dizee Rascal, but a friend of mine did on college radio and swears it sounded like it used a B. Squier sample? Is this true? that would be very cool.

Yay! What song does it sample...The Big Beat? The Stroke? Lady With the Tenor Sax?

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

"The Big Beat" (your friend should review the eight million Dizzee threads in the archive ;-)).

8 Million? I thought Dizzee had kinda flown under the ILM radar.

Uh, no. In fact it all kicked in a year ago here when "I Luv U" surfaced on file-sharing.

Afrika Bambatta is said to be the first hip-hop deejay to use Squre's "Big Beat" as a break.

I like Billy Squier alot....he's occupies a wierd space between new wave, MOR radio acts like REO Speedwagon, Journey, and hard rock....he would still get respect from metal guys though.

Not after he did the "aerobic workout" video in a pastel sweatsuit for "Rock Me Tonight". Instant career killer.
