Vanessa Carlton's Hip-Hop History with "A Thousand Miles"

Sexyy Red's hilarious video certainly isn't the only time singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton has rubbed up against the rap game. When Yungeen Ace, Spinabenz, Whoppa Wit Da Choppa and FastMoney Goon similarly sampled the piano-driven "A Thousand Miles" for the song "Who I Smoke" back in 2021, Vanessa Carlton famously came out in support of the rappers' use of her music. However, it was Cam'ron who jumped on the first hip-hop version of the Vanessa Carlton classic when he was cleared to use the sample on the 2017 song, "10,000 Miles."
