Classic Hip-Hop Samples (Vol. 1)
Monday, October 10, 2011 at 3:33PM 
Here is the first post in a brand new series, entitled Classic Hip-Hop Samples, which as the title suggests, will aim to introduce you to the incredible samples used in some of the greatest Hip-Hop tracks of all-time. Many people believe that sampling is just a form of copying and shows a lack of imagination, but when you listen to where these samples have come from, you will then realise it's completely the opposite - all of the producers listed have taken songs from a wide variety of genres, some well-known/some totally obscure, used a small part and reinvented them to make a totally new, relevant and fresh sound. 5 Hip-Hop classics every Monday - this week includes Mobb Deep, Common, A Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang Clan & Jay-Z. Hope you enjoy it, and hope you learn something.
