what constitutes a dope record?? Thats all opinion

99% of my records, I was either given, or bought from thrift stores......my records range from Kool and the Gang to the Carpenters to The Cars to Linda Rondstat to Bobby Brown to Flor Silvestre to Ray Anthony.....It's not what you sample, its what you do with the sampler.......

yo dude ! start now and go out and look , you probably havent even went in to a record shop around your area, take baby steps to your local thrift store and fleamarkets,
dig; there records every where,

just dont be so closed minded, theres better music than 70's, altho it was a great decade.
do you think de and these other cats you idolize use just one certian decade of music , i think not.

You're wack

By gordongecko23 Mon Nov 22, 2004 4:30 pm
dude you are fu*kin retarded. you gotta do that stuff yourself.
toronto is not that small of a city i am sure there is somethin up there.
there are samples everywhere, it just takes time and patience.
i honestly don't know how many "skillz" u really have if you can't even find some samples. it has nothing to do with money.
pathetic.

1.I have no records at all and there are no good record shops in my area here in Canada.

2.I have absolutely no knowledge at all


1. Yes, you have absolutely no knowledge at all
2. You're a fu@k'n idiot for this statment. It's obvious you have no idea at all about where you're living do you? You do realize people FLY INTO out city to shop right? You do realize we have one of the top record shops in North America here right? When Dilla came up he dropped 6g's in one store

I can't beleive I'm reading this....man....what a joke. Who do you produce for? Hammer?!? HAHAHAHA

Dog...you're an embaresment to my city...my culture...and records in general

Where in the city do you live? If it's in the core, check out Kops Records on Queen West, this really nice place called Discovery Records at 1140 Queen East and check out Funky Boodah in the town of Markham. All these places have mad records. You'll especially like Discovery they have crazy variety. You can browse their list at discoveryrecords.com.

There's a Goodwill at Jarvis and Adelaide that has sick records, I don't even know where that stuff is coming from, but it's good shyte. Lots of 25 cent specials.

Take a Saturday and hit up Queen West, you'll find lots of good shyte there. Do not go to Play De Record though. The prices they call for records, you would think they're made of platinum or something. Besides their selection blows for old records. It's out there, you gotta shop though.

There used to be a lot more selection black in the day but many shops have closed down due to lack of demand. There still are strong shops in town though, these I mentioned are still rocking good selections. There's another one on Queen West called Second Vinyl on McCaul St. I think. A nice chinese couple owns it and they're into their soundtracks, jazz and soul. You'll get great stuff from them too. And none of these places require to break banks to buy their records.

Hope you find what you need, boss.

Peace.

Don't be taking no loans for records. If you shop at the rite places you'll get good cheap records. No sense becoming a slave to the banks for records. You take what money you can get and buy a few records and practice sampling. I used to take piano lessons as a kid, I had to practice daily. The same applies now. I'm not a sampler at the level of Kanye or Alchemist yet, but as long as I keep practising, I'll get there in time. Get like 10 records to start practising. Check out those places I told you about, you won't be disappointed.
