I agree. I thought it was pretty clever. My 5th grade teacher used to play
Broadway soundtrack albums in class (which is one of the reasons why I
detest Broadway musicals, but I digress...) and so I recognized that sample
instantly...it is a great use of the sample, it definitely pertained to the
 subject matter of the tune...Most people can't trace the source of that
sample anyway. It's much different than a Wack Daddy, er, Puff Daddy
sample, which is recognizeable to everyone and their grandmother, and is
basically a cover of the original tune with his trademark "uh-huh..."
"yeah..." "that's right..." mumbling added on.
