I Need A Haircut: Original Samples

by Kevin October 3, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

Props to E.J. again for starting this set and sending it over a few months ago. I’ve filled in the blanks as much as I can and feel this one is as ready to go as ever. This sample set is extra special for two very important reasons, which I’ll get into below. Sampling has [...]

The Platform: Original Samples

by Kevin October 1, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

I’ve had some time off this week, so I’ve been trying to finish up some old shit and bang out some new shit. E.J. sent me this sample set for Dilated People‘s The Platform a few months ago. I just finished verifying all the samples and found a handful more to add to what E.J. [...]

Ghostdini: The Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City [Original Samples]

by Kevin September 30, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

I almost feel as if we’ve gotten off our sample game for a minute. I guess it’s just been really tough to keep up with the new releases and finding the credits for EVERY sample used. More often than not, not all samples are listed in the linear notes so it takes someone with a [...]

Sample of the Day: Jay-Z Edition

by Thomas September 10, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

It wouldn’t be right for us to have a Jay-Z week without some samples. Between us, Ivan, Goon, and YN all of Jay’s albums have received the sample treatment. These are loose samples from some unreleased songs, soundtrack cuts, and songs Jay has been featurned on. A couple of dope tracks on here…see “Hogan’s Thing.” [...]

Kingdom Come: Original Samples

by Thomas September 9, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

We didn’t complete this set, but assisted Alex (Goon) with this one in May 2008. I just wanted to link to the original post, but all of the links are dead. So I upped the set since I wasn’t able to get a hold of Alex (of course I sent an email at the last [...]

Immobilarity: Original Samples

by Thomas September 4, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFWcVQnie40″>Live

Immobilarity (I Move More Officially by Implementing Loyalty and Respect in the Youth) is Raekwon’s sophomore album that had mad hype, but was a HUGE disappointment to many. I remember in College my roommate and I skipped class to head to the Blockbuster music store to cop this joint. By the time we got back [...]

The Blueprint 3: Original Samples

by Kevin September 1, 2009 Around The Net

Well, well, well… I know today we are paying dues to Jay’s first album, Reasonable Doubt, but I couldn’t wait another second to share this with you all. Don’t thank me though; thank ya boy YN for the break through of the the original samples used in Jay’s latest album, The Blueprint 3. Just one [...]

2 Hype: Original Samples

by Thomas August 27, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

I’m being extremely lazy tonight, but I want to get this up. Peep what wiki says about this album: “2 Hype is the debut album by rap duo, Kid ‘n Play. The album was released in 1988 for Select Records and was produced by Hurby Luv Bug and The Invincibles. 2 Hype was a success [...]

Guess Who’s Back: Original Samples

by Thomas August 20, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

The story goes that Eminem got a hold of this mixtape and was blown away by it. Soon thereafter Curtis had a meeting with Em/Dre….and the rest is history according to wikipedia. This mixtape has sold between 400,000-500,000 copies, which is amazing to me for some freestyles and leaked tracks from the shelved Power of [...]

Slaughterhouse: Original Samples

by Kevin August 16, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

Contrary to other members on this site, I can’t get enough of the new Slaughterhouse album… been bumping it non-stop since it leaked a week before it’s release date. Thomas and I have also been diggin for the samples since then too! Some were easy, some were not. In fact, there are still a few [...]

Slaughterhouse: Slaughterhouse Sample Edition

by Thomas August 11, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFiE-35oG1I”>Hip

FRSH AIRE SEKOU dropped a comment asking for a zip file of our Slaughterhouse Sample of the Day post about a month ago. Well, here you go! This set includes the samples from that post, a few stray joints from our Slaughterhouse: The Prequel comp, and a Joell and Royce sample. The Royce sample should [...]

Halfway House: Original Samples

by Thomas August 11, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

Joe Budden’s Padded Room [read review] was suppose to drop on October 28, 2008, instead we got Halfway House [read review]. Halfway House was released digitally as a hold over until the official album (Padded Room) dropped. I like this album sans a few tracks, but the best thing to come out of this album [...]

Jurassic 5: Original Samples

by Thomas August 8, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

Props to our man E.J. for blessing us with this set. Jurassic 5 released their self-titled album in 1998. The LP was produced entirely by Cut Chemist and DJ Nu-Mark. The set contains 14 original samples that have not been featured in previous sets. So hit the cut for the album info and link…

A Long Hot Summer: Original Samples

by Kevin August 1, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

It really has been A Long Hot Summer, so what better way to celebrate than to drop the samples to Masta Ace‘s 2004 album! This set comes courtesy of my man E.J., who dropped off a handful of samples a while back. If you’re reading this E.J., we’re getting all those sets up eventually. We [...]

The Hard Way: Original Samples

by Thomas July 18, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

213 consist of Long Beach, California natives Warren G, Nate Dogg, and Snoop Dog. The collective dropped their debut album The Hard Way in 2004 to commercial success earning Gold status four months after its release. Production is handled by a host of beat makers that include Kanye West, DJ Pooh, B Sharp, Nottz and [...]

Neva Again: Original Samples

by Thomas July 13, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

Kam dropped his highly acclaim debut album in 1993 with the help from various West Coast producers (Rashad, Mr. Woody, T-Bone, etc). The disc was executive produced by his cousin Ice Cube and DJ Pooh. Early 90′s West Coast set so you know what you’re getting sample wise. Hit the cut for the tracklist and [...]

My Own Worst Enemy: Original Samples

by Thomas July 10, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

Props goes out to SoulControllah for sending this set our way. Ed O.G. and Pete Rock collaborated on this 2004 release that produced bangers such as “Boston,” “Voices,” and “Wishing.” Pete Rock produced seven of the joints with help from Diamond D, DJ Revolution, and DJ Supreme One. SoulControllah included two bonus samples: one from [...]

19 Naughty III: Original Samples

by Thomas July 2, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

Props goes to Onez for this set. “Hip Hop Hooray” was the huge single from 19 Naughty III helping the album reach platinum status along with critical acclaim. Early 90′s hip hop album…so you know what your getting sample wise. Info and link after the cut.

Poverty’s Paradise: Original Samples

by Thomas June 27, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

Naughty by Nature’s Poverty’s Paradise isn’t the groups best work, but did receive a Grammy in 1996 for Best Rap Album. “Feel Me Flow” and “Craziest” were the billboard charting singles. I don’t remember too much about this album other than “Feel Me Flow.” I was still riding out to Ready to Die, Project: Funk [...]

9 Lives: Original Samples

by Thomas June 26, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

Props to SoulControllah again for this and the other AZ and M.O.P. sets he sent to us. AZ’s third album produced some bangers such as “Problems,” “What Ya’ll Niggas Want,” and “Quiet Money Tbs.” Hailed by critics as “too commercial,” but it was still AZ. Hit the jump for info and link…
