    Well copied from the press release, Stereogum! “Me and the Devil” isn’t a Smog-cover, Robert Johnson himself wrote it in 1937.

    Nicely done mr.scott-heron. Kanye Ruined that sample of yours and I’m glad to see you stepping up and taking back the torch that you damn well lit in the first place. A true Innovater, and foremost a musician.
