Who sampled · 2000s · beginner crate
Erykah Badu’s “Didn't Cha Know” (2000) is built on Tarika Blue’s “Dreamflower” (1976) — a sample that travelled 24 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.
