The beauty of Swagga Like Us' sample was that it took a memorable though not central line from another song and built an entirely new song around it as Eminem did with "Stan." This song has some interesting moments but Sparro's segment seems too pasted in as compared to the aforementioned songs based on samples of previous hits. http://www.bravenewwave.com I think the sample was too literal, he sampled the entire statement and it would have been better if it had cut off at “next to you.” The beauty of Swagga Like Us’ sample was that it took a memorable though not central line from another song and built an entirely new song around it as Eminem did with “Stan.”
