Who sampled · 2000s · expert crate
MF DOOM’s “One Beer” (2004) is built on CORTEX’s “Huit octobre 1971” (1975) — a sample that travelled 29 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.
