Behind The Beats, Vol. 2: Atmosphere's "Little Man"

Atmosphere's "Little Man" was one of the highlights off of You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having, with Slug penning beautiful narratives to his son, his father, and himself. This song showcases Slug at his absolute lyrical best, displaying a very self-aware vulnerability. Not to mention, Ant provided one of his most impressive beats, which isn't something to scoff at, considering his track record. The track he flipped was "Who Am I?" by The O'Jays, and he really chopped and sampled the hell out of it. This was a perfect selection for Slug's topical content, and served as a prime closing track for the album.

On a side note, I could swear someone else sampled this beat, but I literally can't remember who right now, even after about twenty minutes of brainstorming. If anyone knows, please drop a message or send me an email.
