when i first heard this track it was through a set and through a mistake in the tracklisting i thought it was a remix of soul of man's "love and hate". after trawling the intarwebs after this particular banger i had my suspicion that it was a mislabel after hearing the original and the only remix available, done by rennie pilgrem. i wasn't familiar with the original of "nutty drumstick", which is also by soul of man but done as their lesser used moniker 2 inda bush. the ragga vocal sample was something i knew of prior but it's been on countless other records so i brushed it off as a clue.
after sampling the rennie pilgrem remix on juno i heard that it was the freestylers' matt cantor's remix of "nutty drumstick". when listening to it in context to the original it's really only the vocal sample that's been used and in this case it's matt cantor making a remix of the source material rather than the tune at hand. panufnik & rushmore took the sample from kicksquad's hardcore classic "soundclash", which itself was constructed with samples.
mainly the "scorpio" break, the amen break, stabs of the 808 states "cübik" lead, a chant from depeche mode's "shake the disease" and a sligthly slowed down vocal bit from super beagle's "dust a sound boy". the vocal intro which also houses the source for kanye west's posse cut "mercy" and brother ali's "champion" and as mentioned a few more tracks.
for his remix of "nutty drumstick" kicks it off with a one-drop groove and plays the vocal sample on a repeated basis as the drums are being brought on. after a small drop the cantor throws in the bassline from "soundclash" and later on he also uses the bleepy leadline. the bassline is however the main hook of the song as it drives the song and does a brilliant job at it. as frankie bones would say "bangin".
