bingolong,

Thanks for the info. Do you know who the other guy was on Laff?

<t>The Beastie Boys have sampled Richard a few times on various albums. There is a particular sample that could be Richard. It appears on the Beasties Ill Communication album of 1994. It's on the track BBoys Makin with the Freak Freak. And the sample says, "shit...if it's gonna be that kinda party i...
