    Man, that bass sample is insane. It's like the people who made that song just wanted to be sampled.

      I know exactly what you're saying - it's so rare to find the bass notes so isolated like that! I remember an old DJ Shadow interview where he said the hardest parts to find for The Private Press were bass samples.

      It’s one of the MCs from a 1982 Grand Wizard Theodore set yelling ‘hooo’ (in classic “somebody in the house say ‘hooo’” fashion) but the tape recording/monitor is so blown out that it ends up sounding like a siren
      (Pretty sure it was used to similar effect on “Hold My Liquor” by Kanye West)
