Labsky said:i'm a musician and play 4 instruments. but i love sampling and in my opinion is the charactaristic hip hop sound, the sound of crispy drums and old vinyl samples. thats hip hop, not the plastic or techno bull****!! and if u are a good sample beatmaker, your awesome talented like kev brown, pete rock an rza!
hip hop started by taking part of a record (THAT WAS NOT MADE BY THE DJ) and looping it so people would dance to them. later people would rap over them. this is how hip hop started (in a nutshell). how early hip hop records were made doesn't matter, they didn't start hip hop.Pimpmatik said:Well,when Kool Herc used to spin,he'd find the break on a record and extend it and then the breakers and Mc's would do their thing.
But early hiphop records didn't use samples.Musicians were re-playing breaks or add to the tr-808 drums.

How does it feel when people think you sampled a record because your ORIGINAL music sounds so good?
