Sample cds. No One said sample cds. Just because you use sample cds doesnt mean its cheating. They all get the job done whether sampling from records,audio cds or sample cds. But to some of these so called "HipHop Purists" using sample cds is bad. I mean yes sometimes you might hear the same sample from the same cd but think about it. Not everybody has a $100 dollars or more to shell out for some choice sample cds,so in actuallity you might not hear these ones coming up as much as you hear the cheaper ones. Just my two cents on everything regarding sampling and staying within the laws. I also agree on sampling more obscure records, Also chop samples you get from records,unless its the hottest loop you heard than run wid it, unless its really known then go about it by manipulating it. Theres so many ways to manipulate samples that anymore if you know what ur doing you can pass the law without getting caught.
