David McCallum, the Scottish actor who starred in NCIS, Man From U.N.C.L.E. and The Great Escape, died on Monday (9/25). McCallum also wrote one of Hip-Hop's most iconic samples. The David Axelrod-produced single "The Edge" from the album Music: A Bit More Of Me is the basis for Dr. Dre's "The Next Episode" which featured Snoop Dogg, Kurupt and the late Nate Dogg. The string line was also used on "Fallin' On" by Tash and "M.I.A." by Missin' Linx.
