Who sampled · 1990s · intermediate crate
Mobb Deep’s “Shook Ones, Pt. II” (1994) is built on Quincy Jones And His Orchestra’s “Kitty with the Bent Frame” (1971) — a sample that travelled 23 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.
