Are you talking about the first 15 seconds?

I’m not sure that it is a sample. There are already a lot of sampled songs in that song.. it sounds like it’s their own.

Sounds like What’cha Say by The Meters.

Yeah, 99% sure it’s What’cha Say.

Ok – I hope it is because I’ve always loved that bit and want more. It sounds like they’re at least trying to make it sound like a sample with the record hiss and all.

Shit. @sebastian_von_tulu is right. I completely forgot about them.

I’d give you two GAs if I could. :)

GAs are almost as good as cookies. Definitely healthier ;)
