Our good sample buddies in France picked a fine Leonard Cohen flip to commemorate his passing a few days ago. The sample in question comes from Cohen’s 1974 track, “Who by Fire”, used on Wu-Tang Clan’s “Execute Them”. There’s nothing much to the sample itself – just a straight guitar loop with a classic RZA beat over the top. As samples.fr point out, Cohen samples within hip hop are quite rare so for any aspiring producers reading, this could be a great place for left-field inspiration.
