    Speaking of Soul Makossa references, in "1,2 Shit", Busta Rhymes says "Moma
    so, mama sa, ma ma makossa" or something like that.. And on "Keepin' it
    tight" from the "Extinction Level Event" album, he samples New Bell in a big
    way.

    And although it's sad to see a classic piece of afro funk desecrated this
    way, perhaps it'll open up the listener to a whole new territory of music,
    if they bother to look (at the sample credits no doubt)..

    By the way, isn't Puff Daddy producing Jennifer Lopez? Also, I don't know
    what all the fuss is about her big booty.. She's fly as hell..

    Adam
