The Babe Ruth version is the famous one in terms of hip hop production. Don't 
actually like the tune as a whole, but it's a massively popular (and pretty 
heavy) break that's been used on absolutely loads of tracks.

Not too hard to track down the original (despite what people might tell you) + 
there is an Alpha Omega 12" boot that's been around for a few years as well (I 
think it has 'Theme from S.W.A.T.' or 'Long Red' on the other side).

The Bombers version is less interesting than the Babe Ruth version, break-wise. 
However, its overall production is more pleasing to my ear. Haven't heard the 
Jellybean cut.
