My man Goon hooked up with Thomas to compile the samples to Black Milk’s Popular Demand. This album was a favorite of mine, as well as others, last year. If you don’t have this album in your collection, make sure to pick it up. And go check out the samples over at Goon’s site!

A Tribe Called Quest’s The Low End Theory was one of the first sample sets we compiled here on the site. Fast forward seven months later, we realized we made a lot of mistakes on that release. Close to 20 missing samples for one and there were also a few mistakes in credit listings. We’ll [...]

This set right here was a no-brainer; although we’ve never done a set like this before. As soon as Deez suggested it in the CBox, I was on it! Isaac Hayes brought so much to this world; music and inspiration are only a small piece of the pie. This collection right here is dedicated to [...]

Well, well, well… what do we have here? Probably one of the most requested sample sets since the album’s release last year. It is also the sample set that’s I’ve been working on the longest in our sample set’s short history (I put the first sample found in this folder shortly after Getback was released). [...]

Ah, finally, a new sample set to get you all through the weekend. And this one is a monster! Released in 1991, Breaking Atoms is the debut album from Main Source. This album is highly regarded thanks to the virtuoso production of frontman Large Professor, whose heavy and original use of sampling influenced hip hop [...]

DJ Big Texas is back with part 2 to The Geto Essentials. It’s been a couple of months since he dropped part 1, but make sure you grab both of these. If you know Big Texas’ style, you know he does it up big!

Here’s the other Shyne sample set and the last one for today. Props to Thomas for bangin’ these out! We got a ton of requests and a long list that we’re working on… enjoy!

Someone requested some Shyne samples. Here’s the first album. Second one coming up next!

Here are the samples from Wu-Tang member, Inspectah Deck’s 1999 solo debut — Uncontrolled Substance.

Prodigy’s solo debut, released in 2000. Lots of great production on here from The Alchemist, Just Blaze, and Havoc. Always interesting to hear the original samples, but this set doesn’t have much replay value… personal opinion. I know a lot of people have been wanting this set though, so here it is!

We got a ton more sample sets to put up, but can’t get em out fast enough! Here’s a small set to hold you all over. Internal Affairs was the 1999 solo debut from Pharoahe Monch. Incredible album, but because of the illegal use of the “Godzilla Theme Song” as a sample in “Simon Says”, [...]

Since we’re on the topic of American Gangster remixes, you may remember one of my favorites from the bunch… Small Professor’s Crooklyn Gangster.
Small Pro’s a huge fan of our Diggin’ in Da Crates series and he recently hit me up with the original samples he used for Crooklyn Gangster. Lots of great stuff in here… [...]

Finishing up the last Def Squad sample set we had in the works, is Redman’s debut album… Whut? Thee Album. This album is classic and put Redman on the map as one of the top hip hop artists of the 90s. Produced mostly by Erick Sermon, Redman actually co-produced most of the tracks himself.
This set [...]

Continuing on with another Def Quad sample set, we compiled the samples from Keith Murray’s debut album. Released in 1994, The Most Beautifullest Thing In This World was hot primarily because it was mostly produced by Erick Sermon. You’ll notice that this sample set coupled with Sermon’s No Pressure sample set make for one nice [...]

No Pressure is the debut solo album from Erick Sermon. It was the first album that the former EPMD member released after 1992’s Business Never Personal. It was well-received and is probably his most popular album. Although the album’s goal may have been for Sermon to establish a solo career, some feel that it sounded [...]

The ROC is in the building!!! It’s been almost 2 months since we posted the Kanye West sample collection and I promised you Just Blaze next. Well, here it is! Not quite as big as the Kanye set, this collection contains 60 songs that have been sampled by Just Blaze in his productions. This set [...]

We are finally getting this set out there! The Ownerz is Gang Starr’s sixth and final album, released in 2003. Thomas and I have been working on this set for what seems like forever. It was highly requested a few months ago when we were compiling some of the other Gang Starr sets. Hip-Hop Is [...]

Like him or not, DMX was a force to reckon with 10 years ago when he dropped his Ruff Ryder debut, It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot. His style was a bit different compared to the Bad Boy image that was prevalent at the time. Producers such as Swizz Beatz, Irv Gotti, P.K., and Dame [...]

Produced mostly by NO I.D, One Day It’ll All Make Sense is the third album released by Common. This album is one of my favorites from Common and we have been working on this sample set for quite some time, making sure to get the credits for every single track. Not sure if we got [...]

Ok, here’s the last 9th Wonder sample set I have for a while. This right here is an incredible album and for those not familiar with Skyzoo should definitely pick it up.
Not much to say about this… just solid 9th production. We’re missing three sample listings for this set, so hook us up if you [...]
