Cold Truth

well guys.... i was listening to Ayatollahs "Personal Legend" the other day. i was asking how my beats compare to ayatollahs (i am actually beginning to think i am not that far off to being able to hang with "the big boys"... tell me if i'm gassed here and being overly confidant...) and he was like, "they arent that far off, (of course its my boy and all, so his opinion can be a bit skewed) but i like to hear vocals in the beats". so i was like, "only vocals are good to you or or what?" and he responded that he likes to hear samples in beats. he does think i am well on my way though, so thats cool.
so i have a few cd's that arent exactly well known to a lot of people so i cut one up a lil and made a good track with it (stresswon has heard an earlier version of this) just for him to vibe to. i basically caught the bug for sampling again (i have been itching to sample again for the longest time, but now i am about to jump back in.) and i am about to start sampling with some regularity.
i stopped sampling as many of you know, because i wanted to elevate my composing skills. i'm not Kamal or Scott Storch just yet, but... i am very solid i think. thing is i have times when i just cant come up with a melody to save my life and i wind up with droughts that last a few weeks... this way i always have something to turn to during those dry spells. plus, it ups the versatility factor quite a bit. SO YOU HAD BETTER WATCH OUT!
the only problem is this: i generally prefer to sample things like jazz, soul, and funk, or cinematic pieces.. so if i start blatantly biting and not bringin it like COLD, i need you guys to check me and let me know! i dont want to do the kanye/just blaze thing here... or sound like ayatollah or alchemist or (insert producer here, wouldnt mind the comparisons though!) anyways, you know what i'm gettin at.
*NOTE- all you sample haters need to just keep your trap shut, plain and simple. i dont want to hear any bitching about "stealing someone elses music, you should play everything yourself" because i do a pretty good job doing that anyways, and i just dont want to hear it anyways.
