Till I Collapse samples We Will Rock You

Eminem’s “Till I Collapse” (2002) is built on Queen’s “We Will Rock You” (1977) — a sample that travelled 25 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.
