 another one to ponder:
 
 all time favorite beat?
 
 it's a toss up for me between "93 'til infinity" and "survival of the fittest"

Wow.  Hell of a question.  I got a few off the top of my head:
 
 "Code Of The Streets"
 "Benjamins" (say what you must, but if that ain't one of the illest beats you've ever heard - you're a fuckin' liar)
 "Grindin'"
 "Lyrics To Go" (The way they freaked that Minnie Riperton sample is beyond ill)
 
 I'll limit it to that for now . . .
 
 
 Cause you're hella cool Sal, I'll forgive you for the Cuban Linx-gate issue . . .

Favorite Wu lyric:
 I come like a thousand doves (Dirty)
 
 
 Best Wu cameo on someone else's track:
 Raekwon on Outkast's Skew it on the BarB

Excellent choice, S Dot.  Quintessential example of how to freak a James Brown sample.
 
 "It was *funky* . . . it made me wanna *GET, GET DOWN!*
