The Next Episode samples The Edge

Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg’s “The Next Episode” (1999) is built on David McCallum’s “The Edge” (1967) — a sample that travelled 32 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.
