Indisputable classic......also, keep in mind, those drums (initially taken from "Sing a Simple Song" by Sly Stone) were not really sampled until the Humpty Dance

"The Humpty Dance" is one of the most sampled songs recorded by a hip hop/rap artist, boasting over 100 usages in other songs.[7] By 1993, less than three years after its release, it had already been sampled in over 20 popular songs, most of them utilizing its drum track. In fact, it was sampled so much that Digital Underground humorously devoted the song "The Humpty Dance Awards" from their album The Body-Hat Syndrome to the many recording artists who sampled the track.[8] Since then, dozens more artists have sampled the Humpty Dance song, from Ice Cube to Public Enemy.
