Right i was gonna come back and correct my meaning a lil... because I didnt really express the point 100% like i intended too.. was quite stoned at the time and comin with tunnel vision...
Theres nuttin wrong with never samplin mp3s i aint sayin that.. i sampled from mp3's.. cd's... but I much prefer to dig and hold that very important...
Although let me point out...

youtube is an alternative to crate diggin... if you use it right!
See this is where u have it wrong... this is what im tryin to speak on... you tube is no "alternative" to crate diggin...
This is what i was tryin to say originally.. i mean u do u, sample from whatever... but to say one thing is an alternative to another is bullsh!t.
People who dig dont put the vids up for u to sample them, and i bet if u told those vid makes u been samplin from theyre vid theyd tell u thats wack.
Anyway back to the point, samplin breaks OTHER PEOPLE HAVE DUG FOR isnt an alternative to diggin... thats total bullsh!t, see i think i went too off topic in my last rant to really stress that was the point I was meaning to explain... right back to ur silly justifications...

some of us don't have access to a million & one records like some of you guys. some of you guys may have all the records in the world, but don't know how to put some D's on a sample sitting under your nose!
What u talkin about?? theres record stores all over the world... thrift stores.. people givin away records, whatever... and u tryin to say some of us dont have access... EVERYONE DOES.
Go to the stores... go get dusty.. spend some money.. blag some free records, put the work in... that was a f**kin silly statement to make and it holds no ground..

WHY WOULD I USE SOME **** THAT THREE SIX, KANYE, JUST BLAZE HAS USED ALREADY?!! YOU'VE GOT THE GALL! these albums on youtube are for edu-tainment purposes. i'm learning about where all my favorite songs ORIGINATED. u think that after 20+ years of listening to JUST HIP HOP, i would know what & what not to sample/use?!!! i don't know about you, but i'm not trying to waste my $$ diggin for dirt.
Its one thing learnin,.. i learnt from all diff places / people.. but learning off a certain method is one thing.. diff to what we talkin about...
Waste ur $$ diggin for dirt?? thats what everyone does at some point.. otherwise if ur only "diggin" for what u been told to.. records u read about etc etc thats not "diggin", thats record shoppin off of some one elses diggin... wait till u get into it a lil more u'll start understandin this sh!t properly... how u gonna discover unknown sh!t unless u take chances?? thats what its about, Its all good knowin and learnin about certain artists, who they played with.. etc etc but that will only get u so far...
I used to be in ur possition once, makin the same kinda arguments u are, then I got into sh!t properly, developed diggin skills.. started findin sh!t i was real proud of discoverin and started seein sh!t properly, I wouldnt expect u to understand at present time because ur not in the right place to understand.. but that doesnt mean u can come with such silly justifications

be easy pimpin & stop reading those books.
(psst. some people).
p.s.
btw, "MAKING BEATS- the art of sample based Hip Hop" by joseph schloss is a good read. do you have it by any chance? let me guess, it's was on your desk when you replied to my thread... go figure. 
Nah never heard of that book.. and i go by personal experience, u have only experienced one side bein the toy u are..
And its not the "ethics" shit im on, as i said i sampled from diff sources not just breaks..
I was talkin on the whole "you tube alternative to diggin" is bullsh!t.. there isnt an "alternative" and to take that approach ur just holdin urself back.
I guess i should have worded my previous posts better, but still...
Dont step to me the way u are talkin about u'll flip this and i'll be like that or whatever... coz trust u dont have the skills to back that sh!t up when steppin to me i garentee u
U got quite alot wrong here.. especially concernin u "savin ur $$"... what type of sh!t is that anyway? and the whole "diggin for what others are more or less tellin u to".. how u gonna develope ur own diggin skills / style... coz that sh!t will go into ur actual production style just as much as the production techniques u learn, but then I wouldnt expect a toy to understand that at this stage.. i was at ur stage once... give it a few years then u'll understand..
Peace
