Who sampled · 1990s · expert crate
Common’s “I Used to Love H.E.R.” (1994) is built on George Benson’s “The Changing World” (1974) — a sample that travelled 20 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.
