Bill Laswell revealed that his manager Roger Trilling originally recorded the phrase "Ahhhhh, this stuff is really fresh", during some studio sessions. According to both Laswell and Roger Trilling himself, the later was imitating a record executive who would reportedly exclaim "this stuff is really fresh!" whenever he heard a song he liked.
This sampled imitation of an executive by Trilling was spoken through a vocoder.
"Change the Beat" by Beside & Fab 5 Freddy became one of the three most sampled vinyl in history, appearing in over 2600 tracks as of 2022.

"The whole idea of chopping a sample up by either the transient or by the bar beat position was not something that was in the original MPC. It was added because that’s what Pete Rock was doing. He was getting a sample and chopping it up into eighth notes or sixteenth notes. So then the guys that made the MPC said, ‘Oh, well, we can actually add that feature.’ They added it, boom."—Prince Charles Alexander >
