Now here we go dropping science, dropping it all over
Like bumping around the town, like when you're driving a Range Rover
Expanding the horizons and expanding the parameters
Expanding the rhymes of sucker MC amateurs

    Only the Beasties could sample 5 Beatles songs and get away with it. Masterful.

    Did anybody else kind of hope they would sample "The Sound of Silence" for this one?
