Stoupe produced it. Thanks to you for linking me with the Fela song though. Much props son. Well, actually it was flipped earlier, Canibus’ “Poet Laureate II” uses it and that came out in ’03 IIRC.

I listened to "Apologize" for the first time today and simply couldn't place where I'd heard the horn sample before. Of course it's Poet Laureate! I've been trying to figure this out for 2 hours now, it really infuriated me. So, thanks! Bertolain, thank you SO much for helping me out here.

By the way, this sample actually HAS been used before. Stoupe uses the guitar, the keyboard, AND horn in the third part of Canibus' "Poet Laureate II." I'm glad this turned out to be a Fela sample, he's incredible. And I was thinking about writing up a Fela Kuti post sometime soon… there goes that!

Though I suppose it would be pretty difficult to download his shit. He should name his first album Folder. How can you hope to be a successful rapper if you’re an ungoogleable?
