Figaro samples Jeannine

Madvillain’s “Figaro” (2004) is built on Lonnie Smith’s “Jeannine” (1967) — a sample that travelled 37 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.
