Not sure if Nike just used the same sample as Buck 65 or if this is actually an instrumental off his Vertex album. Pretty funny that Saul Williams is catching so much flack for his Nike commercial and Buck 65 pretty much flies under the radar. Or did I miss all the “Buck 65 is selling out” threads already?

    It’s just the same sample. I thought it was Buck too when I first heard it, but no, the horn sounds a little different. It wouldn’t surprise me if Buck were to do this though, most people have a price and the prohibitions on “selling out” have long since died in rap music.
