Unofficial Pete Rock day on the site today! Actually if we would have planned it out, we could have put together some nice gems. We’ll leave that for another time. Thanks to Goon for leading a hand in this set as well. Pete Rock’s debut solo album… so many samples!

You knew this post was coming! The beat tape that Black Milk put out earlier this week is nothing short of amazing. It really shows his production skills; the way he chopped these familiar songs was dope as hell. I know anyone could have put this sample set together, but I figured why not just [...]

Another project totally produced by DJ Premier, Wrath of The Math is the sophomore album from Jeru The Damaja, released in 1996.

1998’s debut album from The LOX had Bad Boy written all over it. With production by Puffy’s Hitmen and Dame Grease, Money Power & Respect introduced the world to Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, and Styles P. Now known as D-Block, the trio is set to give us a new album this November. Can’t wait. Here are [...]

It’s been two months since we first interviewed Nobody Famous and brought you Volume 1 of his series Order Up! Volume 2: Biscuits & Gravy was dropped on me last week and honestly, I can’t stop listening to it. This right here has the whole package, smart rhymes over dope ass beats. Dude is a [...]

This 1994 debut from Bad Boy artist Craig Mack was the second project released by Bad Boy Records. The first being the Notorious B.I.G.’s Ready To Die, Project: Funk Da World was highly overshadowed by the success of Biggie’s debut.
Executively produced by Puffy, this album includes the regular Bad Boy producers Easy Mo Bee for [...]

Hosting our weekly remix contest on the site, we have all made a lot of friends. 11 of those friends got together a few weeks ago to put together for us… a sort of “thank you” for hosting the remix contest. I must say I was pleasantly surprised when this tape was dropped in my [...]

It’s been a minute since we’ve dropped a dope sample set on you all. Just so you know, Kev and I have been hard at work and we have quite a few sets lined up for release soon.
This one’s for all you Preemo heads out there! The Sun Rises in The East is the 1994 [...]

After months of promoting Tudakay on our site, he’s finally ready to drop the Dollar Menu…. exclusively, right here! We cut it up a few weeks ago and he told us about the process of making the album. The album features Wordsworth, Edyai, and Dolla Skills, TRIL, as well as G.C. on the “Soul Food [...]

All week we’ve been giving you great Ghostface bangers, but nobody tears up a R&B track like Toney Starks. Ghost has been blessing us with his presence on R&B cuts from Mary J, Jodeci, and Beyonce all while making the track a better song. We’ve compiled all the R&B-flavored cuts Ghost has repped over the [...]

Here’s disc two of the much anticipated Unreleased, Collabos, and B-Sides. Ghostface Week has been a blast for us so far, but we ain’t done yet. We got more goodies to last through Saturday!

So many hot Ghostface tracks that were either not on Ghostface albums or unreleased altogether that it took two discs to compile! This right here is Disc 1. Hope you’re enjoying Ghostface Week!

Since this is Ghostface Week here on the site, Kev and I have put together a few compilations of Ghost’s dopest work. This set right here is what I like to call Ghost Stories. Included in this mix is some of Ghostface’s best verses as an emcee. The order of the tracks should tell a [...]

Due in stores this Tuesday, August 26, The Game’s LAX has already made it’s way around the Internet. For the first time ever, we have compiled the samples for an album before it hits store shelves. There’s no telling yet if this list is complete, but this is what is known so far…

Wait… he raps too? That’s right, your producer’s favorite producer MIDIMarc has been working hard in the studio lately laying the smacketh down on the mic. We first got a glimpse of MIDI’s rhymes as a guest feature on Black Boy Lost. Now he’s putting a bunch of dope rhymes together over some Dilla beats.
This [...]

This Is Hip Hop is proud to present another exclusive right here. This time is extra special because it includes one of our remixers from the weekly remix contest… G.C. “Soul Food Sunday” is the newest single off Tudakay’s Dollar Menu, due to be released next month.
A little backstory… I introduced G.C. and Tudakay a [...]

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 [...]
