Well, yes! In 2002, Marc's song "Forever is a Long Long Time" was sampled by rapper Royce Da 5'9" (frequent Eminem collaborator) for the latter's song "Boom" from the album "Rock City (version 2.0)" which also appeared in the soundtrack of the 2001 TV movie MTV's Hip Hopera: Carmen. When his daughters told Marc about this a few years ago, he was pretty chuffed!
You can have a listen on Youtube - it's really only the instrumental opening of Marc's song that's used. A fan also posted on Youtube the complete original song "Forever..." Love this comment posted: "Finding that sample is insane" - it really is since Marc's album was only released in vinyl - how/where did they ever find it!
The blog "Cafe Surreal" posted a story about this "sampling" a few years ago. Totally love this excerpt: "peep the ill ass cover with Marc straight ice-grillin' the camera while coppin' a squat next to Dumbo's mama." LOL!!
If you're so inclined, you can buy "Rock City" on Amazon.
