Who sampled · 2000s · expert crate
Lil Wayne’s “Dr. Carter” (2008) is built on David Axelrod’s “Holy Thursday” (1968) — a sample that travelled 40 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.
