The song that Tribe sampled is actually called "Down Here on the Ground," and it's on Grant Green's album "Alive!" Regarding “Down Here on the Sound”: FYI, there’s a typo on the liner notes.

That video probably broke up "Leader's of the New School".<br/>Busta with his "RAOWW RAOWW, like a dungeon dragon. Change ya' little drawers 'cause ya pants be saggin'"<br/>Album is a sound track to my life my the Bronco II. Okay that is a little broad. Maybe a soundtrack to some of my life in my Bronco II ocassionaly:-). I saw a show once where Ice Cube saw Busta Rhymes on Scenario and was like “Who’s that!”.

Finally, I definitely wouldn’t consider Oasis or Gene to be anywhere near the popular saturation point they were during that period of the 90’s, due to the fact that they weren’t able to sufficiently mature their sound like Blur or Supergrass.

I realize my grammar was a little off there–thanks for the clarification!

Not sure what you mean by transcend the tag or claimed the lives? Are you saying the Brit Pop era claimed the lives of (Oasis, Pulp, Suede,Gene,Sleeper)? <br/>Pulp was all over the map & were constantly reinventing themselves (transcending the tag?) from the dark 'Freaks' to 'Seperations' (acid house) to the glam, synth theatrical 'His n Hers' & 'Different Class' to the dark, artsy, and at times trip hop 'This Is Hardcore' to the organic, less synth, warm 'We Love Life'.... & what about Jarvis Cocker's solo project 'Relaxed Muscle' which combined the glammy Pulp with Suicide....& Cocker is talking about getting Pulp back together..<br/>And what about Oasis... their life has not been claimed. they are still going strong. & Suede too now just in another name The Tears & Gene is still going strong best to my knowledge - remember 2002's beautiful 'Libertine'..... the only one out of the list is maybe Sleeper that had their life claimed by the Brit pop era.....

And what about Oasis… their life has not been claimed. they are still going strong. & Suede too now just in another name The Tears & Gene is still going strong best to my knowledge – remember 2002’s beautiful ‘Libertine’….. the only one out of the list is maybe Sleeper that had their life claimed by the Brit pop era…..
