Tough Luv: Original Samples

Here’s a sample set you probably weren’t expecting. Yeah, we try to keep it fresh around here. The classic hip hop sample sets are just what they are… classic. However, it’s nice to showcase those albums that didn’t really get their shine when they were released and probably deserve a little more props. That’s how I feel about Young Gunz debut album, Tough Luv.

Thomas hit me up with this set out of left field over the weekend. We have our planned sets, but sometimes we’ll get a vibe about an album and knock out the set real quick. That’s what Thomas did here and I was pleasantly surprised when this was sitting in my inbox. Tough Luv has some real nice gems on it, particularly the tracks that are produced by Just Blaze and the song “No Better Luv”. If only they had included the original version of “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop”, instead of that crappy remix with Chingy. Oh well… where’s Young Chris and Young Neef at now?
