Who sampled · 1990s · intermediate crate
Skee-Lo’s “I Wish” (1995) is built on Bernard Wright’s “Spinnin'” (1981) — a sample that travelled 14 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.
