Who sampled · 2000s · beginner crate
Outkast’s “So Fresh, So Clean” (2000) is built on Joe Simon’s “Before The Night Is Over” (1977) — 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 beginner crate, worth 1 point in party mode.
