The "Impeach the President" sample is also mentioned in GZA's verse on "As High As Wu-Tang Get" by Wu-Tang Clan on the album Wu-Tang Forever, with the suggestion that the snare drum in the sample is easy to rap over. ("You can't flow, must be the speech impediment / You got lost off the snare off 'Impeach the President.'")

The snare, kick, and hi-hat of the drum break have gone on to become staples of popular music.
