Most people might recognize the sample from Joe’s “Stutter” which came out in 2001.

“My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me but I know you very well…”

The song, produced by J-Swift, utilizes samples from “Summer in the City” by Quincy Jones, “125th Street Congress” by Weather Report and “Are You Experienced?” by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. J-Swift actually sued Jive for $11 million because Joe didn’t clear the sample in “Stutter” before it was released in 2000. DAMNNN
