Yeah, BDP was always favorites of mine and much thanks to the reggae influences KRS had on his flow.

You can find many of the reggae-samples at samplefaq.cjb.net (I think it has changed adress now though ... thebreaks.com or something?).

It works, it's www.the-breaks.com . Here are the few reggae based samples by BDP (there are probably more, but the-breaks.com is far from a complete datebase, especially when it comes to reggae, the emphasis is on soul/funk/jazz where the majority of hiphop samples come from).

* "Greedy G"
Boogie Down Productions - "Jack of Spades"

Off the top of my head:

On the "live hardcore worldwide" album they also use the backing tracks for Shelly Thunder's "kuff" and Frighty & Colonel Mite's "Life (is what you make it)"

KRS also produced Sly & Robbie's "Silent Assassin" and some of Shabba Rank's tracks for his albums on Epic.
