And I think the sound of a cat meowing during that drum roll is simply an artifact of the fact that they've slowed the drum roll sample down. On the original Funky 4 Plus 1 track there is a high pitched background vocal that, if slowed down slightly, would probably end up sounding like a cat meowing. Thanks for this awesome post.

One of my favorite songs on one of my favorite albums. I never thought to do a sample breakdown like that. Well done. A few corrections and whatnot: That chicken scratch guitar at the beginning of Rump isn't from Ronnie Laws' "Tell Me Something Good." Laws comes in with "I'm Mike D and I'm back from the dead" (1:02). The chicken scratch guitar is from "Daddy Rich," the 4th (known) Rose Royce/Car Wash sample on this song alone. The scratching attributed to Bob Marley is correctly attributed here to Afrika Bambaataa's "Jazzy Sensation." Like Kevin says, go to 5:04 and it's obvious. I'm not sure about the Zep sample. I think I hear it at :39 of "Good Times Bad Times," but I'm not convinced. I've heard this album a thousand times, but for the first time I heard a cat meow at :37, kinda hiding amidst the "It's the joint!" sample. It may not be a cat, but whatever it is, I've never heard it before tonight. What an album. Almost 20 years later and it's still surprising me. Excellent analysis.

The first two runthroughs, right before the rap starts again, the concluding drum fill is from "Good Time Bad Times" by Led Zepplin. the disco call is from Foxy's "Get Off" 'Scratch' heard under "the most packinest", "your belief, chief" and at the end - "Could you be Loved" by Bob Marley Awsome website = http://paulsboutique.info/index.php

I remember when this dropped and how stunning it was, holding me enraptured being blown away in headphones. I never knew all the cuts, but to this day still enjoy discovering the originals as they reveal themselves to me... Amazing that the Dust Brothers were just KSPC college radio DJs in Claremont at the time... What a story, I gotta get that book... great post… peeling the layers of the onion.

Great stuff Kevin, you know I dig on a good dose of sample anatomy. 'Shake You Rump' was always my favourite track on Paul's Boutique, so it's great to be schooled on all the samples.

Don't miss the 33 1/3 book that is all about this LP. The British series doesn't cover many hip hop titles yet but Paul's Boutique is one of them. I love the quote from one of the Dust Brothers that the reason they started doing tracks was "to earn enough money so that they would not have to leave the house". This sample break down makes a great add on to the book for me. Thanks, Kevin. Great stuff. Don't miss the 33 1/3 book that is all about this LP.
