Who sampled · 1990s · beginner crate
Cypress Hill’s “Hits from the Bong” (1993) is built on Dusty Springfield’s “Son of a Preacher Man” (1968) — a sample that travelled 25 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.
