About This Sample
Labi Siffre's understated folk-soul groove — originally a protest against apartheid — became one of hip-hop's most recognized samples when Eminem used it for 'My Name Is.' Kanye later deployed it on 'I Wonder,' pitching the gentle guitar loop into a dreamy, aspirational anthem about chasing impossible goals.
