Who sampled · 1990s · intermediate crate
Ice Cube’s “You Know How We Do It” (1993) is built on Evelyn 'Champagne' King’s “The Show Is Over” (1977) — a sample that travelled 16 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.
