correction! that awesome sampled type beat still comes out of my studio! lol although i do try to keep track of the samples i steal, incase i ever blow up and have to pay those people off! dont get me wrong some great sample based music still comes out (9th wonder!, pete rock, kanye) but just the way they were doing it, and the sheer volumes of samples in just one song can never be done again. which is why songs these days have one main sample (or one song where samples come from); as opposed to every horn, every drum hit, every bass note, every goat sound could have come from a different source. sometimes 1 second worth listening to fear of a black planet or it takes a nation... and just the various sounds which come together to make the "track" is just amazing. cold lampin with flavor sampled 8 tracks!
