Message Bookmarked

Hey I need to get a list going of some of the hip hop references/samples/etc.. to ye olde cult classik The Warriors...here's what I can think of off the top of my head:

1) Flava in ya Ear remix (video) - Puffy clinks the bottles and says "Bad Boy come out and plaaayy" at the beginning of the video

2) Wu-Tang (can't remember song - Chessboxin?) - ODB says "Warriors come out and play!"

3) Dip Set/Jim Jones "Crunk Musik" - They are wearing the face paint and they have an interlude where some one clinks the bottles and says "Dip Set come out an play"

4) ??NWA - "100 Miles and Runnin"?? - not so sure about this, but isn't there an interlude (in the video at least) where they do the famous DJ scene and the needle drop onto Martha and the Vandellas "Nowhere to Run"

Any other examples you all could think of would be much appreciated...thanks a bunch.

There's a bunch on Mugg's "Soul Assassins, Vol II", in the form of a female narrator.

Looking further afield, PWEI's This is the Day is riddled with references, in particular "Can U Dig It?" (samples Cyrus's speech, obv., as well as the "RIFFS? YEAH!" exchange and other things).

The Ego Trip Book of Rap Lists says "Urban Sound Surgeon" by 4-Ever Fresh has dialogue samples (not heard it though).

somewhere early on the Quasimoto record. also Common somewhere on Resurrection "the warriors did it. it wasn't us it was them."

Youngblood Brass Band used the come out and play sample on their Unlearn record (named the track after it too).

as well as his claim that he is 'the old cyrus of this shit'

I thought he said "Osirus of this shit".

If there has ever been a track that sampled that opening guitar riff from Barry De Vorzon's theme, I want it desperately.

it is Osirus

Who does that whole chunk of the Warriors with the "I'ma put trademarks on your fuckin' eyes?" It's RZA or Wu, methinks.
Anyway Rollie has that shit rockin' too.
I never saw the Warriors (Blush) but it's on Netflix, right after "Unforgivable Blackness", "Vera Drake" and the last disc of the third season of "Curb yr. Enthusiasm". So we shall see.
