Groove Transcription - "Ziggy" Modeliste, "Look-Ka Py Py"

Many of Ziggy's beats have been sampled by some of the biggest names in hip-hop, such as The Beasties Boys, Run DMC, N.W.A., Public Enemy, Digable Planets, A Tribe Called Quest.  "Look-Ka Py Py", in particular, was used by DJ Shadow (4:48)….
