Amplified: Original Samples

Ahhhhh, been sittin on this one for a while. We couldn’t finish it up back when we did Q-Tip Week and we had planned on putting it out last month. Well, we held on to it a little longer hoping to find some more samples. This is about what we came up with. So here you go…. Day 18 in our January Month of Samples. Remember, a lot of these sets that we’re posting this month are incomplete. We’re trying to clear these out so we can work on some new sets. 

Produced by Dilla, Q-Tip, and DJ Scratch, Amplified was Q-Tip‘s solo debut in 1999. It left many Tribe fans with mixed emotions as Amplified‘s style was more mainstream than any of A Tribe Called Quest‘s previous work. Here are the samples…
