Who sampled · 1990s · intermediate crate
MF DOOM’s “Rhymes Like Dimes” (1999) is built on Quincy Jones’s “One Hundred Ways” (1981) — a sample that travelled 18 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.
