I Believe that the recording of “Save the Country” that Kanye used is actually from one of Laura Nyro’s Live albums, Spread Your Wings and Fly.

Hahaha, prodby.altervista.org is the one! No wonder I couldn’t find it, that’s a terribly unintuitive URL.

Still, the fact that you guys are putting in the samples, including the vocal ones, gives it a whole extra level of functionality.

Hey Kev,

Were adding stuff on a daily basis David. Carsten is doing big work. I’ve added in All Redman, and all Wu-tang today. Check it out Redman and Wu-tang pages. They have been updated today as well as others.

Thanks David… we’re trying to make it big with rapcredits.com. By chance, is this the site you’ve been looking for? http://www.prodby.altervista.org

oh wowwwww, http://rapcredits.com/ that is great.

For several months now I’ve been trying to remember the name of a site that I used to use all the time like 3-4 years ago that had production credits for just rap albums, and it was all in a database (not wiki style though) so you could search by album, rapper, or producer. I think it was run by some german guys but it didn’t have a .de URL I think. Never found that site again after I lost the bookmark, BUT it looks like RapCredits.com should be just as good once you get the ability to search by producer.

Plus, it’s great to have the samples listed in there on RapCredits.

Good stuff on the sample compilation here.

wowwwwwwwww flashing lights has a sample? :O

Yeah it’s at the end of the track. It’s actually ingenious of Kanye to just pick out that one section of the track and make a whole song off it.
