What You Know samples Gone Away

T.I.’s “What You Know” (2006) is built on Roberta Flack’s “Gone Away” (1970) — a sample that travelled 36 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.
