Hey gang! Welcome back to Name The Beat. Yes, this is the twelfth edition. Wow.

Newcomer onto NTB, boogabear, correctly guessed last week's sample which was Cannonball Adderley's "The Steam Drill" sampled by A Tribe Called Quest for their classic song "The Infamous Date Rape."

This week's sample is below. Y'all know the drill:

Name the title and artist of the original track below.
Name the artist and title of the track who sampled it.

One more thing: The song that I'm looking for is not a hip hop song.

Good luck!

Nice to see more diggers coming out of the woodwork.

I'll continue to play the sidelines.

I was going to wildly guess Encore by Linkin Park maybe?
