Who sampled · 2010s · beginner crate
21 Savage’s “Bank Account” (2017) is built on Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson’s “Lightbulbs” (1974) — a sample that travelled 43 years to get there. In SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE we spin the original and ask you to name the hit that flipped it. This one lives in the beginner crate, worth 1 point in party mode.
