Who sampled · 1990s · expert crate
OutKast’s “Da Art of Storytellin' (Pt. 1)” (1998) is built on David Gates’s “Do You Believe He's Comin'” (1973) — a sample that travelled 25 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.
