RefinedHype Sample Quiz: College Dropout Edition

Posted by Lucas G. on 02/13/14 | Filed under Rap Quiz, College Dropout Week, Samples

Get with the program! It's College Dropout week bitches! In case you haven't noticed, we have been taking some of our favorite pieces and College Dropout-ifying them. In RefinedHype Nation, Thursday is Sample Quiz day. So, what do you think we are going to do this week?

Sampling is as integral to Kanye West as fashion week and pouting...okay, so it's definitely much more integral but you get the idea. Below you will find 12 songs, your job is to figure out which College Dropout uses the sample. Obviously, this one should be easier since they all come from the same album (although I am not giving you the time so you will have to listen closely) but if you wanna cheat, go ahead. If cheating on an hip-hop blog quiz is something you need to do, I feel bad for you; congratulations on winning absolutely nothing.

For the rest of you dropouts, best of luck and keep in mind some songs use more than one sample so they can repeat. If you get a good score there is a surprise for you below.

So are you a dropout (which I guess in this case is a good thing)? It blows my mind to think about how much music he listens to and how he hears it. Some of this shit is so obscure, so subtle, so be hard to hear, to know it's sample worthy is incredible to me. I would punch like 83 kittens to be able to do that. Kanye really is a genius. Oh yeah and your suprise (everyone who tries is a winner in my book) Gianni Lee and Mike Blud made a mixtape of samples from the album. Check out College Dropout (10th Anniversary) The Samples below.
