Sampled: Mountain's "Long Red"
Apple Music


Mountain kick off the 1972 live version of their tune "Long Red" with one of the nastiest and funkiest breaks ever laid down by a blues-rock band. Some of the biggest and baddest anthems in hip-hop have been powered by samples from "Long Red", including hits from JAY Z, Eric B. & Rakim and Kanye West, but the song has also been flipped by artists like Morcheeba, Lana Del Rey and Fall Out Boy.
