'La Di Da Di' was originally recorded in one take for the cost of $500, intended to be just a B-side for the duo's 1985 single 'The Show.' However, this B-side proved to far outshine its A-side, and several lines from Slick Rick's verses would go on to become widely sampled and rephrased throughout mainstream rap and pop music.
