Who sampled · 2000s · beginner crate
Aaliyah’s “Try Again” (2000) is built on Eric B.’s “I Know You Got Soul” (1987) — a sample that travelled 13 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.
