Who sampled · old school · beginner crate
Rod Stewart’s “Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?” (1978) is built on Jorge Ben’s “Taj Mahal” (1972) — a sample that travelled 6 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.
