From the age of about 11 to 18, Hip-Hop was pretty much all I listened to. At 17, I had money saved up from work, and this money was going towards an MPC; I was gonna produce. Well, one day I quit the job, the $1200 I had saved up went towards a car, and I soon discovered all the other music that was out there. The dream died.

But lately, as I've gotten deeper and deeper into music, I keep hearing songs and going "oh shit! the Beatnuts sampled that" or "oh shit! this was in an Organized Konfusion song." Seems to happen every other day. And I keep picking up things that would make for decent samples.

So, that's what this mix is. It's all songs that have been sampled or should be sampled, and although most of it predates Hip Hop by a decade or so, there's a Hip-Hop feel throughout. And I didn't use one James Brown or Incredible Bongo Band track. Good for me.

I can rapidshare if anyone would like.
