Peekaboo samples Give Me a Helping Hand

Kendrick Lamar’s “Peekaboo” (2024) is built on Little Beaver’s “Give Me a Helping Hand” (1972) — a sample that travelled 52 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.
