Technically sampling is illegal whether anyone hears the beat or not. You could sample a record, make a beat and then delete it all in the space of an hour and you still broke the law.
But are you gonna get caught? Probably not. I've heard underground tracks with obvious samples in that probably aren't cleared. If you want to be safe you should clear your samples, but 9 times out of 10 you will get away with it. Unless you're making real noise no record label is ever gonna hear that anyway, so you needn't worry
