    Famous Samples, Not So Famous Songs

    This week we’re nodding to the origins of some of your favourite sounds. This may shock and disturb you, but a lot of banger songs are just rip offs of older songs.

    It’s OK to think that in some cases the remake was better*, but it’s not OK to ignore the art of that which hath spawned such perfection.

    Here is the file for this week of Ashta Made You A Mixtape
