Who sampled · 1990s · intermediate crate
A Tribe Called Quest’s “Butter” (1991) is built on Weather Report’s “Young and Fine (Album Version)” (1978) — a sample that travelled 13 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 intermediate crate, worth 2 points in party mode.
