Quote:/font1h, 21b, 21Always thought it wasn't a sample but someone they recorded themselves? b, 21b, 21h, 21
b, 21b, 21Yeah, I thought of that too, but I've got the CD and there is a wee bit of record crackle + obvious tape noise underneath all the poetry parts (headphone check). Plus there are no credits on the sleeve, so I'm convinced it must be a sample. But I'm just nerding out and I could be mistaken.
