Who sampled · 1990s · intermediate crate
A Tribe Called Quest’s “Check The Rhime” (1991) is built on Minnie Riperton’s “Baby, This Love I Have” (1975) — a sample that travelled 16 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.
