all that is necessary

do i really need all this comp. equipment....keyboards...other software...to just make beats from vinyl samples..cuz thats what i wanna do...im not a computer kinda guy...just vinyl..my turntable...and my mpc...that would be enough..right??

Seems like you kinda answered your own question there. Records, a turntable and your MPC is all you need to make sample based music. More equipment just means for options. I've used the turntable + MPC combo for over a year.

only vinyl and the mpc.
i dont know how big your record collection is but for me
good drum samples and good bass samples are hard to find
it isnt good when a producer uses the same drums often.
you can only tweek the same drum samples so much -it will also give you more options. so you might want to look into a keyboard for bass,drum,fx,synthsound,ect.
or you can just buy sounds off the net/ download sounds.

i hear you i dont **** with no computers,midi,digital,ect
i only do analog.

you dont need a computer. but you will need something to record your music into if you plan on doing other things with your music

I rock your setup homie, but i also use a pioneer efx500 for effects, and a boss 8 track for putting my ish on cd.

i personally am more comfortable editing samples using my computer, but everybody's different right?!
