stumbling across famous samples

i love that shyt. as someone who samples its like solving some sort of riddle. I just got back from diggin and i throw on this Eric Gale record "Ginseng Woman" and skip around to the 3rd or 4th track. BAMMMM, the intro is the sample Blockhead used on Aesop Rocks "Daylight". Not the first time this has happened to me, but a good feeling none the less. Sorry, just had to share.

ha hahaa...Yeah. YOu be like Damn! Thas where they got that Ish from!

thats one of the reasons i digg for alt of old shi+, plus i just want to hear the rest of the album, cause theres more to the music then just that little piece,, but yeah it's great to find those , allhough alot of guys on here dont .

I'm feeling you...I just love digging through records, picking out one thinking "hey that looks promising, have a listen", and then finding the sample from a new Kenn Starr joint on one track AND the one used on Gang Starr's "You know my Steez" in another on that record...just by accident

damn i'm super curious about that kenn starr album, how is it?

see you yall are interested in the new stuff being sampled and im iterested in the past stuff thats been sampled


beatsie boys ,mantronix,bdp and shi+ like that i got a few new stuff that has been sampled by S.O.B,f reign legion, p.u.t.s. and other stuff

Good feeling and bad feeling.

Happened to me way too many times.

yeah, i hear you on that as well. I found this Aretha record, produced and arranged by Curtis Mayfield.......forget the title.........anyway, i knew it was too cool not to have been sampled before, but i gave it a listen anyway. Sure enough, the sample for "Get By" from Kweli, prod. by kanyeezy.

Thats why i don't really fukk with anything remotly famous or popular, such as mainstream soul, etc.

This happened to me today, wel it sort of did. That "Boola Beatmaking video", on that he used a sample froma "Manfred Mann's Earth Band" record. Which i seen in the shop. The one with the ear on the front.

Yeah same here. I love soul, don't get me wrong, but as far as sampling it, I'm finished. Way too many cats on the soul steez. Well obviously if I find grab some soul wax and there's a dope groove that nobody's used, I'm recording it lol. But, I'm not too into that anymore.

Right now, it's allll about funky jazz and psych/acid/hippie/whatever you want to call it rock. I don't like to limit myself, but I'm way into that kind of stuff recently.

it boosts my self confidence that i would pick up the same record as like premo or something, makes me think im doin something right

hell yeah.
