1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2	** "Right Here, Right Now" and "The Rockafeller Skank" from his second album, ''You've Come A Long Way Baby''.
3	** "First Down" from the first album, taking a Fela Kuti tune and making even more energetic. Saying it's toe-tapping doesn't do it justice.
4	** His remix of Pierre Henry's "Psyche Rock". There's a damn good reason the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' theme is based off of it.
5	* FridgeBrilliance: The meaning of the title "Weapon of Choice". It's not "choice of a weapon". It's "choice ''is'' the weapon".
6	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: "Because We Can" seems to be strangely popular in Japan for reasons unknown.
7	* HilariousInHindsight: "Weapon of Choice" contains some references to ''Literature/{{Dune}}'', and its music video famously featured Creator/ChristopherWalken dancing around in an empty building and levitating in the air. In 2022, Walken was cast as Emperor Shaddam IV in Creator/DenisVilleneuve's ''Film/DunePartTwo''.
8	* MemeticMutation:
9	** DON IS A RACIST.[[note]]It was one of the phrases shown in the music video for "Don't Let The Man Get You Down".[[/note]]
10	** The music video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCDIYvFmgW8 "Weapon of Choice"]].
11	* NightmareFuel: The end of the video for "Wonderful Night", where Rapper Lateef turns into a werewolf!
12	* RefrainFromAssuming: Several of his songs have popular incorrect titles taken from their most prominent samples; "The Rockafeller Skank" is routinely mislabeled as "Funk Soul Brother", "Ya Mama" as "Push the Tempo", "Star 69" as "What the Fuck", etc.
13	* SampledUp: Most of his hits contain prominent samples from songs that remain about as obscure as they were when he sampled them. In 2001, he even released a special compliation album, ''A Break from the Norm'', featuring the original songs sampled in his biggest hits (for example, "Take Yo' Praise" by Camille Yarbrough, as sampled in "Praise You").
