Who sampled · 2000s · intermediate crate
Nelly’s “Hot In Herre” (2002) is built on Nancy Sinatra’s “As Tears Go By” (1966) — a sample that travelled 36 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 intermediate crate, worth 2 points in party mode.
