In DJ parlance, a once-obscure song that has since been sampled or featured on a mass market compilation or reissue has been comp'd, i.e., it is no longer obscure because it has been brought into mainstream attention via cultural recycling.
I was going to sample a dope break I discovered on a private press 7", but then I realized that it had already been comp'd on a DJ Shadow mix.
