Legacy

In 1992, their 1974 song "Who's the Man (With the Master Plan)" was sampled by Dr. Dre for his hip hop album, The Chronic. The same year, House of Pain sampled the song in the chorus of their own version of the song, released the next year under the same name (but without the sub-name) and featured in a 1993 film, also of the same name. In 2005, their song Heavenly Dream was sampled by hip hop artist Kanye West, for his second album, Late Registration.

gollark: Though websites being bloated messes packed with inefficient programming, JS all the time for no reason, and ads doesn't help. My site is optimized for load speed, and I got core stuff down to about 20kB a page and do aggressive service worker caching, but most sites do *not* do this.
gollark: Web standards are insanely complex and getting more complicated by the day as they pile on more extensions for USB and Bluetooth and WebAssembly (though I like that one) and exotic CSS features.
