Man…….i love surfing through old records.
One thing i love about being a producer is getting to ACTUALLY to the records you’re going to sample. A lot of producers just sample something without listening to the full record. They literally just listen to it to sample it. And u may be wondering “Jay, what the hell are talking about who are those people”. We’re talking about the same guys who find an old song from like 1978 on YouTube and says “iM G0nNa sAmPLe DiS!!!!!” LIKE, DUDE, JUST LISTEN TO THE RECORD WITHOUT EVEN THINKING OF SAMPING FIRST!!!!!
Don’t get me wrong as an artist who samples a lot of shit, i get it but you didn’t even hear the whole record yet, u just that beginning and said DAYUM!
Anyways main point is, for all those young producers out there (like me lol), sit down and hear them records you’ve been “meaning to sample” instead of just ignoring them like they don’t mean shit. Who knows???? U might find some bangers………
Cuz trust me I KNOW I DID!!!! Lately I’ve been sorta on a disco phase. I just started making house music sampling those kinds of records of course and i just couldn’t get enough funk obviously lol.
Anyways enough ranting here are some records i found at my day at Viola Records.
