"And Then He Flipped It Like This", the premiere episode of season 4 of Salute The Sample is here. LL COOL J, Greg Nice, and DJ Z-Trip return and analyze "Apache" by the Sugar Hill Gang, the 1981 hit that has become a staple at sporting events, and gained new life in popular culture when it was featured in a 1995 episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. DJ Z-Trip illustrates that No Limit producer KLC flipped a horn hit from "Apache" for Master P's 1998 hit "Make Em Say Uhh!"

The Sugar Hill Gang's "Apache" was actually a rendition of 1973's "Apache" by Michael Viner's Incredible Bongo Band. Viner's version is widely called the "B-Boys National Anthem", and has been sampled over 800 times in songs by Nas, The West Street Mob, Jay-Z, MC Hammer, and Grandmaster Flash. The foundational break beat can be heard in television commercials and several other places in popular culture.

LL COOL J pointed out the fact that the hook for "Make Em Say Uhh!" originated with 1982's "Funk Box Party" by The Masterdon Committee which featured pioneering female MC Pebblee Poo, Gangster G, and Keith KC. Check out the full episode above.
