We all know the beat by Mr. West (one of my favs), but Inspectah Deck used the Aretha Franklin sample first for a track he did with fellow Wu-Tang member Method Man. Two different takes on the classic “Call Me.” Which is better?

Who flipped it better?

  • Dr. MaD

    french rapper MC Solaar also sampled this

    Hmmmm, I kinda dig both versions. I applaud them both for production. They have completely different vibes. That said, my kids love the SV version and sing along to the chorus, so I may have to lad on that side of things. I’m a big fan of the original too, along with ‘One Step’…

    Wu-Tang all day baby! Deck’s track has more of “dirtier” feel than Ye’s joint.

    The “Call Me” sample is dope, but the thing the set ‘Ye joint off is the Mass Production sample from “Let The Drums Speak”. The drums are way more knockin’

    Can’t sleep on ‘Ye’s verse neither

    Yeah, this was my first time hearing the Method Man joint, so it was refreshing to hear the sample flipped differently. But the SV track is classic.

    i also like both, but since the deck version kinda reminded me of the “good ol’ days” i voted for it. but both are really nice ones, the lv version is one of the best of ye’s beats for other persons

    Clean vs Dirty. Depends on how you’re feeling. Both classic
