What famous songs were made on an MPC 60 in whole or part?

This could be HIP HOP or rock or whatever.

Also can you pick out an MPC 60 by the way it sounds in a song? I know its 12 bit sampling is known to leave a sonic signature and the MPC 60 swing is also another characteristic as well.

Just like most of their stuff (beside the synths) They always used Emu Samplers.

Sampled and sequenced on an MPC 60? Haha.

I remember the Martin Bashir interview/documentary, and I'm sure I spotted the 60 somewhere in his home studio. Could be plausible. But I'll take your word for it Shostakovich.
