JAŸ-Z’s “Blueprint (Momma Loves Me)” (2003) is built on Anthony Hamilton’s “Mama Knew Love” (2001) — a sample that travelled 2 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 expert crate, worth 3 points in party mode.
