Who sampled · 1990s · intermediate crate
JAŸ-Z’s “D'evils” (1995) is built on Allen Toussaint’s “Go Back Home” (1965) — a sample that travelled 30 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.
