Eminem uses sample from obscure Dutch song from 50 years ago

American rapper Eminem has used a sample from the flipside of a 50-year-old hit single by Dutch duo Mouth & MacNeal on his new album The Death of Slim Shady. The Greek jingle incorporated in Land of Milk and Honey by songwriter Hans van Hemert appears on the Eminem track Lucifer, which has been streamed over eight million times on Spotify since the album’s release on Friday. “It’s the cherry on the cake,” Van Hemert told broadcaster NOS. I have always liked to use exotic instruments, a bouzouki in this case.” Van Hemert said he liked to think that producer Dr Dre listened to the record as a child and remembered the tune, but NOS said, the truth is that Van Hemert’s publishing company is constantly touting his music collection to the international music industry.
