Aug 31, 2011 - :10 "Uptown baby".....that is hilarious. They probably made a mint from just that cut.

Nov 20, 2011 - Hell yeah they did. That song (although the groups only claim to fame ) is considered a hip hop classic. Im sure they are satisified with its success being one of their own greatest hits was sampled. Just check Fagens reaction. lmao

If anything pleased them, it was the royalties they finally began to get for the use of their work. "Fagen could joke, perhaps, because after 1992's landmark legal case, Grand Upright Music vs. Warner Bros. Records... samplers have had to be more dutiful in giving samplees due credit." (Samplee = composer)

Mar 17, 2012 - Fagen reciting the words of Black Cow while Becker sits there with his arms folded doesn't exactly add a lot of value.

canturgan Says:

Mar 19, 2012 - Bernard Purdie is the business.

Mar 22, 2012 - no, but fagen reciting the words to "deja vu" by lord tariq & peter gunz was awesome xD

Apr 17, 2012 - ...thanks for the upload! 'Home at Last' is my absolute favourite Dan song -- a massive piece of music with the greatest bridge in the history of modern music. The groove is incomparable. Seeing the band working on the music in the studio -- actual footage -- is a dream come true. i once met Bernard Purdie in Manhatten during a vacation; he was leading a trio and the show was naturally beautiful, and after the final set he graciously had a drink with us and shared a photo. Very humble dude.

Apr 19, 2012 - :47 Thank God he repeated those lines. So hard to understand in the song.

Apr 29, 2012 - Whose hand is that on the board at 5:05???

John Donga Says:

May 2, 2012 - Wasn't there a Led Zeppelin tune where Bonham played some sort of rhythm like that? I only ask because if so, how could it be thew Purdie shuffle?

condobleN Says:

May 6, 2012 - the song is "Fool in the Rain" from Zeppelin's "In Through The Out Door", released in 1978, while "Aja" was released in 1977, so it's the Purdie shuffle because he did it first.

mrfrogbutt1 Says:

May 18, 2012 - That's so sad....rap will steal from anything and claim it as "art" and stupid people will argue that rap is art when most of it is just theft and lack of any originality,authenticity and lazyness to craft a song from scratch. I guess that's the stuff that happens when you're not an actual musician and lack talent.

May 24, 2012 - Hahah Fagan doesn't need to talk man. They've been communicating with each other for years just by looking on stage. Shutup.

theprivateer83 Says:

May 24, 2012 - Exactly! Fagan is awesome silent. Let the guitar talk.
