Who sampled · old school · expert crate
Beastie Boys’s “Rhymin & Stealin” (1986) is built on Black Sabbath’s “Sweet Leaf” (1971) — a sample that travelled 15 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.
