Who sampled · 2010s · intermediate crate
MacMiller’s “Nikes on My Feet” (2010) is built on Dexter Wansel’s “The Sweetest Pain” (1979) — a sample that travelled 31 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.
