Who sampled · 2000s · beginner crate
Nelly’s “Dilemma” (2002) is built on Patti LaBelle’s “Love, Need and Want You” (1983) — a sample that travelled 19 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.
