Cross the line= acknowledge me - who knew?

It's amazing what you hear when you listen to music with headphones. Today listening to cross the line clear version and it comes the background and a lot if snippets are in acknowledge me and it hits me prince recycled the song. Just found it interesting and thought I woukd share with the rest of the class.

A few points:

The song you're referring to is called "The Line".

Sampling a few seconds of Boni's vocal is hardly "recycling the song".

There's a sample from In All My Dreams in there as well.

Doesn't it even say that it samples The Line in the liner notes. Although it had been widely circulating before CB came out (both songs) so I think it was common knowledge.
