Who sampled · 1990s · intermediate crate
Pharoahe Monch’s “Simon Says” (1999) is built on Akira Ifukube’s “Gojira Tai Mosura” (1992) — a sample that travelled 7 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.
