GODDAMN! That "Breaking Bells" track is vicious.
Amazing!
According to T La Rock, Breaking Bells was not aimed at LL Coll J nor inspired by Rock the Bells. He says the production on Breaking began before the release of Rock, which makes sense. "The Bells" was the common name for Bob James' "Take Me to the Mardi Gras" when 70s Bronx breakbeat DJs used it, and La Rock was in a lesser known breakbeat DJ/MC crew named the Undefeated 4 that used the Bells often. Also, Crash Crew were the first to attempt to make a reprogrammed version of the Bells about 3 years prior to this, and Run DMC's Peter Piper would trump all of them by actually cutting the Bells over an 808.
