Over 200 tracks have plundered the bounty of the tripped-out musical voyage that the Scroggins sisters took way back in 1981, so I’ve chosen the 24 finest uses of the ‘UFO’ break for this compilation.

ESG - ‘UFO’

Best ‘art-funk ensemble from the South Bronx’ ever?

DOOM feat. Raekwon - ‘Yessir!’

Continuing the tradition Ghostface started with ‘Holla’, no looping is required as the Chef goes in on some park jam shit.

Big Daddy Kane - Ain’t No Half Steppin’

The ultimate flip of ‘UFO’? My brain melted the first time I heard this.

Das EFX - ‘East Coast’

Solid Scheme really loved them some ‘Blind Alley’ and ‘UFO’ on this album, didn’t they?

Redman feat. Erick Sermon - ‘Watch Yo Nuggets’

For me, this is when the EE Double stopped trying to rap even half decently. Great horns though.

Pete Rock feat. Styles P and Sheek Louch - ’914′

Pete remakes Erick Sermon’s track but improves it ten-fold. Pay attention, Lupe!

Pete Rock & CL Smooth - ‘Mecca and the Soul Brother’ [Wig Out Mix]

The original mix of this was always my favorite, but this still wins for a nice change of pace.

Tim Dog - ‘Fuck Compton’

Before dating ponzi schemes, the Dog was making great songs like this.

Lazy Laz - ‘Mystery’

Greg Nice co-produced this track for this notable Audio 2 weed carrier.

Cutmaster D.C. - ‘Brooklyn Rocks The Best’

Poor old BK was feeling a little left out during the Bridge Wars, so they made songs like this and ‘Brooklyn Blew Up The Bridge’.

X-Clan - ‘Xodus’

I’m sure there are a bunch of subliminals aimed at KRS-One in here somewhere…oh there’s something about ‘humanists’…yawn.

Intelligent Hoodlum - ‘Black and Proud’

Fun fact: A young Big Twins in this video.

LL Cool J - ‘Murdergram’

James Todd Smith blacks-out on this. Guess they had a few extra drinks at the club the night they recorded this.

Marco Polo feat. Large Professor - ‘The Radar’

Marco really brought out the best of the Large Pro on this one. DJ Revolution on the hook always helps, too.

Gangstarr - ‘Take A Rest’

Remember those shitty UK remixes of this? Me neither.

Stezo - ‘It’s My Turn’

Erick Sermon sez: “Yo, I need those drums, Steve…’

EPMD - ‘Give The People’ [Jeep Mix]

The good old days when remixes were tailored to the type of car you had.

OG Style - ’10 B 3′

The glory days of Rap-A-Lot, before they discovered keyboards.

Grand Daddy IU feat. Kid Capri, Taheim and Big Snow - ‘Blast A New Asshole’

Also the original title of the Frank Ocean album.

PHD feat. MC Cor (aka Cormega)- ‘Set It Off’

Blaq Poet and Hot Day were on that Gun Talk early.

Masters of Ceremony - ‘Rock Steady’

Grand Puba‘s first group combine Aretha and ESG to good effect.

Original Flavour - ‘Waitin’ For My Break’

Rapping about not selling out? How quaint.

Organized Konfusion - ‘Thirteen’

This is when Monche started to ‘avant-garde’ and shit. No wonder Prince Po got sick of him.

Big L feat. Twan, Buddah Bless, Killa Kam, Herb McGruff, Mike Boogie, Terra and Trooper J- ’8 Iz Enuff’

Herb McGruff for Prez.

Beastie Boys - Sure Shot’ [Large Professor Mix]

Peace to MCA.
