Hip-hop production tutorials, news, review, marketing and ideas.

I went digging and hit a pretty good bargain and picked up a nice lot!!!
Here is a bit of flossing:

If you have been following the sample game you must know that the “Nas Is Like” sample used by DJ Premiere has been one of the few sample that remained unknown. The good people at Djpremierblog put a end to all the mystery. Here is the label and sample:

Now there are a couple of stories about this record, like that DJ Premier stole the record from a church or that he found it in a trash can. Yes, when Preem was young he stole records from the church but not this one. He got this record when he bought a whole record store (I think together with Showbiz, don’t shoot me) and when he got home and listen to all those records he wanted to throw away the 6/7/10 inches, but he did listen to this one and rest is history. It’s also a fact that this beat was rejected by Guru first. Enjoy the famous sample once again (cut 4):
