Who sampled · old school · expert crate
Public Enemy’s “Rebel Without A Pause” (1987) is built on The J.B.'s’s “The Grunt” (1970) — a sample that travelled 17 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.
