I love all these comments about Root Down! One of the Beasties' best songs, without a doubt. It's really rare for them to use that many samples from the same song. But It works & they made it their own without taking anything away from the original song. The original is called Root Down (And Get It) by Jimmy Smith.
Hence:
"But we kick it from the root when we break it on down
Jimmy Smith is my man, I want to give him a pound"
