yeah that sample is from "Living For the City" by Stevie Wonder. Its actually a pretty crazy skit if you listen to it the whole way through. A black man arrives in 1960s Harlem, naively scores some drugs for a crackhead who offers him $5 to "go across the street real quick," which gets locked him up. He's then sentenced to 10 years in prison. The sample ends with the prison guards taunting the poor guy. Thats pretty powerful and forward thinking stuff for 1960s recording, I love how Moodymann works in samples with such a message.
give me stuff like that over an Obama speech any day, I think that fad is pretty overdone at this point
