C.R.E.A.M. samples As Long As I've Got You

Wu-Tang Clan’s “C.R.E.A.M.” (1993) is built on The Charmels’s “As Long As I've Got You” (1967) — a sample that travelled 26 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.
