Who sampled · 2000s · expert crate
Public Enemy’s “Harder Than You Think” (2007) is built on Shirley Bassey’s “Jezahel” (1972) — a sample that travelled 35 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.
