i rarely hear the beat in my head when i hear the sample, i just know what kind of samples i like to use. i like to go into the chops open minded. tuning, tweeking, eqing all the chops till i find something that feels right. i like going into my chops with a "you never know" attitude. i dont want to hear the beat in my head because i could be missing out on somethin i never thought would have been able to be put together from my chops
