Worst Comes To Worst samples I Forgot To Be Your Lover

Dilated Peoples’s “Worst Comes To Worst” (2001) is built on William Bell’s “I Forgot To Be Your Lover” (1968) — a sample that travelled 33 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.
