Here is his instrumental track The Edge, the one Dre sampled. You'll probably recognize what he sampled almost immediately even if you're only barely aware of his work (like me).

I love how often a sample leads me to listen to something I never would have otherwise. There was a torrent floating around that had all the songs Beastie Boys sampled for Paul's Boutique, it was fantastic.
Holy shit, thank you! You have no idea how long I've wanted to know where the main sample from Brass Monkey came from.
Check out WhoSampled. It's the largest resource regarding samples/covers.
Thanks! That's a great resource! I enjoy secondhandsongs.com to see who has done cover versions. Sometimes I find out a song I really like isn't even original to the artist I thought it was!
They liked diggin' down deep in the record bin!
