Who sampled · 2000s · expert crate
T.I.’s “Whatever You Like” (2008) is built on Bill Conti’s “Redemption (Theme From Rocky II)” (1978) — a sample that travelled 30 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 expert crate, worth 3 points in party mode.
