Yep ...... I don't understand why anyone would buy a sampler & then impose all these restrictions on how they use it. It is like giving yourself excuses for never actually finishing a track .... or even starting one.

"I found the best piano loop ever on some old Swedish jazz album last night, but then I realised it was a 1975 re-press & the record originally came out in 1971, so I can't use it."

Attention all elitist!!!

Sell your MPCs immediately. If you can't minipulate those breaks with just turntables, you have no business making hip hop music. And if you're spinning on anything other 1200s, dump'em. And you better not be recording to anything digital. No half-ass elitists allowed.


Some of you are straight comedians. No reissues? I guarantee most of you have reissues and don't even no it. I know DJs that have been spinning for 20 years and can't tell the difference sometimes.

Have you ever heard a beat and thought, "that beat would've been better had he not sampled from a compilation" or "I'm not feeling that beat. It sounds like a reissue to me"? GTFOOHWTBS!!!

No CDs or MP3s? As if it takes more skill to sample from vinyl... The majority of the work is done after you've recorded the sample. The skill is in the chopping, filtering, programming & arrangement. Unless you're choppin' those breaks in real time, directly to tape, I'm not impressed that you used vinyl.

Stop worrying about how the music is made. Just make sure it's hot!

i really dont understand why people are on this whole "dont sample reissues" thing. i mean if you're a collector, sure, I can see why you would want an original in good condition over a sealed reissue. oh yeah and why did i know what GTFOOHWTBS meant?? haha i was buggin out, just came to me as i read the letters
