Identify this tune from "Still Fly"

Is the hook from "Still Fly" by Big Tymers taken from another song?

Youtube link here. The tune they use for the chorus sounds really familiar but I can't think of what it is.

Strike that, I was thinking of "Diamond in the Back" - didn't play the link before posting. Sorry!

Sounds like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme.

Theme to Gilligans Island? From 44s in.

2nding PeterMcDermott - I always thought it was the Gilligan's Island theme song.

Another one going with Gilligan's Island. (Or, pehaps Stairway to Gilligan's Isle by Little Roger and Goosebumps.) (And obviously, the lyrics are pretty much a rip off of Surrey with the Fringe on Top. Boy and their toys. Eisenglass curtains you can roll right down, Suma tuma tires that gotta be run-flat - it's all much of a muchness. )

Heh, that posits a hiphop song that doesn't sample Diamond in the Back.
