Damn, my man Ivan over at Hip-Hop Is Read is really holding it down with these sample collections. His latest collection is from the Gang Starr classic Daily Operation.
Daily Operation is Gang Starr’s 1992 release and arguably their best work. The album represents the gritty sound of early 1990’s Brooklyn hip-hop. Guru rhymes on a variety of subjects, from his intellectual depth on “2 Deep” to his penchant for smoking marijuana on “Take Two And Pass” to anger on “Take It Personal” to the opposite sex in “Ex Girl to the Next Girl”. DJ Premier and Guru are credited as the producers of every track.
I’m gonna have to get back in the diggin’ scene, as I’ve been slacking off lately. Any suggestions as to which hip hop album I should work on next or would you rather see a sample collection by one particular producer?

i would love to see an pharoahe monch “internal affairs”, little brother “the minstrel show”, foreign exchange “connected” and a tribe called quest “low end theory” sample list… is that much?
. And from a producer, i would love to see from where dr.dre gets his samples.
Yo Marcha, those are some excellent suggestions and ones that I def though about doing. I’m gonna have to start diggin!
Glad you liked this Kev. One of these joints were nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find… Woulda sucked if I had 25 samples, and couldn’t complete the set because of 1 track.
Damn, yeah that would have sucked man! Diggin’ can be frustrating at times, but it’s well worth it when you find that gem.
True.
You should do a sample set for 3 Feet High & Rising by De La Soul.
( waits for laughter… ;-D )
One of its tracks alone uses 16 samples/cuts….LOL
LOL, naw man, I’ll leave that one to you! I’m in the processes of doing some ATCQ sample sets and they’re bad enough with 4 or 5 samples per song… crazy!
