    LAST WEEK: Nas' The Message defeated Juice Wrld's Lucid Dreams (12-4)

    Welcome back, SectionEighty. Hip hop is notorious for sampling and many songs share the same samples. Sample Battles is a poll-based competition where we vote on which song featuring the same sample is better. Simply vote for your favorite song out of the four, the song with the most votes after one week will win. Every Thursday the previous weeks winner will be announced and the current battle will be posted!
    Like this post to be mentioned next week!


    @Fire Squad @Donkey Kong Cuntry @Michael Myers @Ramz @Rick James @Ordinary Joel @Boos @WPG @cpt awesome WPG joint acc @JMG @Enez @OffTopic BS


    Note: Drake also sampled Wildflower for his 2010 track 'Miss Me feat. Lil Wayne' however he sampled a different part of the track than these four songs and therefore wasn't included.

    you can dismiss the cole off the bat. i really like the eminem verse but that song (and the flip—it’s like stock mixtape derivation) doesn’t stand up to the other two, either.

    i’m picking the pac song, because it’s a better record and came first, but this is close. i love when kanye chops and screws the beat at the end.

    I cosign @Boos

    The fact that he got a Paul Wall verse and DJ Screw gets mentioned makes it an easy pick for me.

    Em’s song was great, seemed much more comfortable in this poll compared to Cole’s lol.

    It’s very tough between Pac & Ye’s song, I personally went with Kanye’s since I love how it continues to escalate with each proceeding verse, Ye always had a gift for getting the best out of his guests (shoutout to TI’s stellar verse on the remix).

    it’s amazing how, on the pac song, they add one synth line and mix the saxophone to sound like a second one

    Drive Slow by 1000000000000000. One of the first Kanye songs I fell in love with. Used to blast this on my iPod mini as a 11 year old 6th grader in the fall of 2005

    Easy win for Drive Slow for me. The Pac song is great obviously, Em’s would be better as a solo song through I have a soft spot for SSEP era Em. Don’t remember what the j Cole song sounds like lol

    i think kanye’s verse is one of the best of his career, but it’s striking to hear how much better pac is as a performer

    definitely. i always thought kanye, while def charming on the mic, was wayyy less effortless than someone like pac, who seemed borne to do it. i was just listening to 'i need a girl pt 2' and had a similar thought about puffy - theres something affected or w/e about a producer assuming the emcee role. took kanye a little bit to rly have that level of power

    edit - ofc pac had that theatrical training from childhood baked in
