Window Shopper samples Bob Marley & The Wailers

50 Cent’s “Window Shopper” (2005) is built on Burnin' And Lootin'’s “Bob Marley & The Wailers” (1973) — a sample that travelled 32 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.
