Dr. Dre’s “Xxplosive” (1999) is built on Mack Browne & The Brothers’s “Bumpy's Lament” (1971) — a sample that travelled 28 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.
