The average People Under The Stairs album can contain thousands of samples of other artists' work. Thes One and Double K are reluctant to name their sources; not all of the samples have been cleared with the original record labels, despite the duo's efforts. "The publishing companies and the record companies that own this stuff have made it impossible for us to clear it properly," Thes One said in the dotmusic interview. He went on to add that he would be happy to pay the artists directly for their work, but that legal red tape and record company policy often ensure that the artists themselves never see any of that money. As a result, People Under The Stairs face a greater creative challenge. In order to keep themselves out of trouble, they must dig deep to create their beats and use very obscure samples that aren't easily recognized. Thes One used one sample from a record he found from Peru.

Awesome, thanks for the ninja quote : except you clearly didn't read all I posted. I have the album and I'm pretty sure I've seen the credits listed for Jamboree. That is the question. I also said they were pretty good at getting shiz cleared, not once did I claim they had everything cleared.


on the side note I still haven't uncovered the box with the album. I haven't given up. its a mission now.

I'll gladly eat my words once you produce the main sample. And BTW, we already know the Soul Sensation Orchestra sample (percussion).
