Who sampled · 2000s · beginner crate
50 Cent’s “Many Men (Wish Death)” (2003) is built on Tavares’s “Out Of The Picture” (1977) — a sample that travelled 26 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.
