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.
