Sister Nancy's dancehall classic — one of the most sampled reggae tracks ever — was interpolated into 'Famous.' The infectious 'Bam Bam' hook was paired with Rihanna's vocal and the notorious Taylor Swift line, creating one of Kanye's most talked-about tracks where Jamaican dancehall energy collided with celebrity provocation.
