MF Doom's Sampling

[DopeFiend]

Is all of MF Doom's production samples? I heard his jazz stuff and madlib's samples, but there are other songs that are so errie. Where do he find those samples? Are they from jazz too?

prolly. nobody will know because he prolly got really obscure and unknown samples.

Really? I heard one mf doom song a few weeks ago, I reconized the loop straight away.

word, what was it

[baggysound]

well, i guess he's like every other producers: he uses whatever he can find

and when it comes to digging not a lot of people really want to share their resources, when they don't have to

he samples a lot of blue note.

i think his jazz records were all played live. i seen a video of him in his bomb shelter and he had an ass of instruments to f*ck with. hes a beast on the drums.

you can buy a cd called 'Doom Breaks' which contains all of the original samples from his famous tunes. Mostly from Operation Doomsday. I was AMAZED at how little he does to the samples, on most of them he doesnt even add any drums, just loops a part of the song with its original drums!! i really advise you get this, i would post it if it wasnt against the ethos of this site and existing copyright laws :0)!

Yeah, I just recently bought a MF Doom album, "MMM...Food". As a sampling artist myself, I'm like damn where did he get that? I like his style because he uses a good mixture of dark sh...

But I can tell that he doesn't do much to the samples. He finds a loop and throws a drum pattern over it. My guesse is that he is primarily an emcee. He just happens to make beats.
