RADIOLAB! MUSIC! Modern music is crack... Imogen Heap "Hide and seek" There's that one part that gets sampled and cheapens the expreience. When I'm listening to the original song it makes my hair stand up, but I heard a song recently that sampled it, like, a MILLION times.
That's why I put the original in the show. Sometimes the original is far superior, sometimes a sample can take it to another level (see below):
Original Lil' Wayne
