Drake’s “Pound Cake / Paris Morton Music 2” (2013) is built on Ellie Goulding’s “Don't Say a Word” (2012) — a sample that travelled 1 year 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 beginner crate, worth 1 point in party mode.
