^^^Yeah, but I'm leaving this alone. It's a 2 year old thread I shouldn't have started back then.Back when I did start it, I didn't know what I know now. I ginuinely was asking if people who sampled from vinyl exclusively thought it gave some type advantage.
Instead of answering, people with a crate or 2 of bullsh*t get defensive, and I realized average dude on FP doesn't even have a real collection. I own over 3,000 CDs. About 85-90% of those are owned for samples. And I don't just sample from them. That would be just as limiting.
And f**k 10 dollars a crate, I've paid $70 for 1 rare record because it was rare. Ain't nothing in a 10 dollar crate that you can't find in a dollar CD bin. Hence my saying records are expensive.
I apologize for ever starting this thread 2 years ago. But ever notice on FP when someone wants to know where a sample's from, I usually have the
CD? Alot more stuff is repressed than you guys wanna believe.

This is simply just not true. Vinyl is like this... it's garbage to most people. When you buy used CD's, any damage is going to **** up the sound quality of the whole disc because of that little click click click sound or actual, brutal skipping, even with CD cleaners. Vinyl... at least... even if it's literally been shot, will have a couple spots on it that are clean, and even just one dope break is worth it.
There is so much stuff on vinyl, SO much stuff that is totally interesting and will never ever be pressed to CD. This is simply a fact. From the promo demo's that radio stations get and then tossed away, to old educational nursery rhyme records from the 70's, and... depending on where you live, I'm close to texas, so I get a lot of mexican disco through the border.
Also, it's not psychological, listening to a record, hearing that analog vibe, is way, way different than hearing something from a disc that came out of a plastic case. It's older materials, older qualities, to some people, even if it's stupid, that **** can be important.
It's seems ridiculous to me that you at all want to question this. Cd's are cool, or whatever form you want to get your stuff from, more power to you. But to be weirded out by vinyl cats who only get down like that... they might say vinyl is the only way to go... but who are they? The police? Why are you so threatened by their rules?
Some people are really passionate about stuff like that... at least it's something. As opposed to being passionate about exposing weaknesses in the people who prefer records over Cd's for making hip hop. When honestly... where does the argument end?
Well, most hip hop is on cd's these days, why does almost any and every self-respecting dj worth his salt, even if he uses serato, scratch live... etc. Why do they always use Technics 1200's? Why not get a pioneer CD-DJ setup. I'm sure some douche bag could have a million and one reasons why it's old, obsolete technology. But that's all douche bags are good for.
