Stronger samples Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Kanye West’s “Stronger” (2007) is built on Daft Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” (2001) — a sample that travelled 6 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.
