Re-Ignition
A riff that hip hop and video games borrowed.
Bad Brains, from I Against I (1986)
- Written by
- Darryl Jenifer, Gary Miller, Paul Hudson
- Released
- 21 November 1986
- Length
- 4:16
- Album
- I Against I
The longest track on I Against I runs 4:16. Pitchfork says its sticky riff is the basis of a Lil Jon Crunk Rock Remix, and that the title track of Deftones' 1997 album Around the Fur is an obvious homage, though not a cover.
It has been sampled on "Daddy's Home" by Chubb Rock, "Ice Man Cometh" by 2 Black 2 Strong MMG, "Ultrasonic Sound" by Hive, and in a remix of "Roll Call" by Lil Jon and Ice Cube. A live version was in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, and the song was heard in a 2019 episode of Black Lightning.
