check that out if you get the chance though.
When you go to buy records your gonna sample. And you preview them (on the stores turntable or your vestax). Do you listen to the whole thing? or you listen to a couple tracks?
I dont always preview records (i know its stupid) before i buy them, but sometimes you find the best stuff that way...
Cleverwon, i like how hard your beat was.
Peripheral, i love your strings, but your beat wouldve been better if you would have put your own drums in instead of a drumloop.
Nice beats though.

Ive got external hard drives with tons of samples on em in my closet. My friends find a bunch of samples and they save em to those. I sort em out and kinda put the samples i dont really plan on using in one folder, then i break the rest down into: Rock-Type Kicks, Old Wu-Tang-Type Kicks...
Snoop Dogg - Id get him to unleash the old (93 Doggystyle) Snoop and we'd smokin through the whole track

Dr. Dre - He's the greatest, the world wouldnt be the same right now
