Who sampled · 2010s · intermediate crate
JAŸ-Z’s “The Story of O.J.” (2017) is built on Nina Simone’s “Four Women” (1966) — a sample that travelled 51 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.
