Who sampled · 2000s · intermediate crate
DMX’s “Where The Hood At” (2003) is built on I'll Play the Blues For You’s “Albert King” (1972) — a sample that travelled 31 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.
