Hard Time

I would say in my last three trips to the record store I haven't been able to find and hot samples. And its really making me frustrated. Does this happen to you guys often. Or am I diggingly retarded for the month of july/ first week of august?

learn to play..samples are wack

maybe for you. But i know how to play i play 4 Instruments but what i like to do is sample and then play on top of samples and add instrumentation. Dont worry, I ain't the heatmakers.

don't listen to him.

it happens just listen to the hole record you have bought in the last few weeks , there's something in there you missed , listen to other genre's of music keep your mind off what your trying to sample don't think about hip hop music listen to classical , jazz, opera, listen to there
instrumentation's . don't worry you haven't lost it your just expanding your mind to the next level, open your mind to new music that's what this is , a time period to expand your mind, take advantage and listen to something new. broaden your horizons.

Run out to LI, or NJ...

Hit places you normally wouldn't...

thanks for the advice i will definitely take that to mind next time i hit up the shop.

well, you live in NYC... I doubt there's any dope records left. same in LA. try to find some flea markets or record shows though, thats where its at.

Im gonna disregard that u said that.

Same with me. Last time i went to the record shop i came back with what i thought was an Edith Piaf record, but was actualy a tribute with her no were to be seen. I was dissapointed to say the least. I got a good Isaac Hayes+Dionne Warwick though

nah I was just breaking your balls..samples are cool

Good choice MFosterUk
Till not a long ago I was trying to find samples from old funk records and found myself into stonesthrow's situation.
French music from the 50's/60's has incredibly creative instrumental samples!
Check out Boris Vian's, Nino Ferrer or Jacques Brel's music too, it is old & dope to sample.
Good luck

Jimi LaLumia's Record Connection is where you wanna go on LI. From NYC, you can take the LIRR to Ronkonkoma and it's two miles down Hawkins Ave. If you're down for diggin' drinkin cheap 40's from the gas station, smackin down them Ronkompton hoes at the lake, checkin the dopest glass pieces at East West, I'll show you whats good! Make sure you bring ID and you're straight. Otherwise, just hit the crates and have fun diggin'.
