Jul 16, 2020 Welcome, 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 two, 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! Spoiler: Nas - The Message Nas - The Message Spoiler: Juice Wrld - Lucid Dreams Juice Wrld - Lucid Dreams Spoiler: Sampled Song Shape of My Heart - Sting @OffTopic BS
Jul 16, 2020 it is kind of interesting to hear it flipped (in the same way) once as a very introspective album cut and once as a radio hit. “lucid dreams” is a cool breakout hit, totally representative of everything juice was as an artist, but this is easily, easily nas.
Jul 16, 2020 Dope thread! Man, holy f--- never realized The Message flipped that same sample because I haven’t listened to it since like high school. Probably my favorite Nas song too. This one is too tough to call honestly
Jul 16, 2020 Lucid Dreams was a huge hit when it came out and it made Juice what he is today, a LEGEND
Jul 16, 2020 cool thread.! When I first heard LD I thought 'hey this samples that nas song', nice! Gr8 song and sample but the Message >>>
Jul 18, 2020 Great thread idea! Hard to go wrong with that impeccable Nas intro, great flip and obviously legendary performance from Escobar. I do think however, Juice flipped the sample better. Such a devastating loss, what a talent he was...
