Who sampled · 2000s · expert crate
OutKast’s “Mighty "O"” (2006) is built on Cab Calloway’s “Minnie the Moocher” (1931) — a sample that travelled 75 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.
