Who sampled · 2000s · expert crate
Bow Wow’s “Outta My System” (2006) is built on Rick James’s “Hollywood” (1978) — a sample that travelled 28 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.
