Bonus: De La Soul's tight sample of "Peg" on "Eye Know," from the classic 3 Feet High and Rising (the whistling is sampled from Otis Redding "Sitting on the Dock of Bay"

The guitar solo by "hired gun" Jay Graydon on Peg is one of the best guitar solo's ever.....he didn't even know they picked his solo until the record came out.
