Sample of the Day: Jay-Z Edition

It wouldn’t be right for us to have a Jay-Z week without some samples.  Between  us, Ivan, Goon, and YN all of Jay’s albums have received the sample treatment.  These are loose samples from some  unreleased songs, soundtrack cuts, and songs Jay has been featurned on.  A couple of dope tracks on here…see “Hogan’s Thing.”
