Yeah, that's a point... I suppose Dre probably didn't see it as a widely
known sample, I mean its a song that may not be directly connected to major
labelz... but I don't think its necessarily cultural colonialism... If I
found some good Bollywood shit that fit in with what I was doing I'd
probably sample it, just as easily as I'd sample anything... so to take the
cultural colonialism edge, well, you could say that a lot of sampling is
cultural colonialism, couldn;t you?

But yeah, just goes to show, free up the airwaves!
