Does anybody know what song this bassline was sampled from?
It starts at about 2.08.
Pretty cool bassline IMO

I don't recognize that riff from any of those samples, so:

a) The Beasties tracked that line themselves, or with one of the guest musicians that worked with them on the album

b) my old school funk knowledge is weaksauce.

I'm leaning towards B since, IIRC, Paul's Boutique is notable for being almost entirely comprised of samples.

Definitely not out of the question, but going on the website I linked to above that catalogs the samples used:

* "All the ladies in the house...the ladies, the ladies" - "Jazzy Sensation" by Afrika Bambataa
* "Baby, Baby, Baby" is from Zapp's "Heartbreaker"
* "Fresh," Fab-5 Freddy
* "Funky!", "Damn!" and "Is it funky, brotha?" from "Funky President" by James Brown
* "Good God!" - "War" by Edwin Starr
* "Hey Ladies" sample is from Kurtis Blow's "Party Time" on the Party Time album
* "One for the Treble (Fresh)" by Davy DMX. Following the line: 'And when I say stupid I mean cupid" you hear "Fresh" from the song cut in (and then the line: "I'm not James at 15...")
* "Pumpin' It Up" by the P-Funk All Stars
* "She's thinks she's the passionate one" - "Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet on the album Desolation Boulevard
* Cameo's, "Shake Your Pants" before "all the ladies in the house"
* Guitar and synth under "All the ladies in the house...the ladies, the ladies" is from "Shake your Pants", by Cameo on the Cameosis album
* In the video version: "Baby, Baby, Baby" is Deep Purple's "Hush"
* Kool and the Gang's, "Jungle Boogie"
* Mostly "Machine Gun" by The Commodores
* Roger's, "So Rough, So Tuff"
* World Famous Supreme Team, "Hey DJ" at the very first "get funky" before the cowbell.

...none of those pan out.
