all these recent hip-hop songs I hear on the radio have been using Luniz "I got five on it" beats, I loved this song, remix version, is this an original luniz beat or did someone use it before.

from the Sample FAQ:

Club Nouveau Life, Love & Pain: (WB 1986) * "Why You Treat Me So Bad?" Luniz's "I Got 5 on It"

Kool and the Gang Wild and Peaceful: (De-Lite 1973) * "Jungle Boogie" Luniz's "I Got 5 on It"

The beat is the Club Nouveau sample, the horns are the Kool and the Gang riff. The Luniz tune was produced by Shock G/Digital Underground, who use that beat and that same processed-drum sound all the time.
