RE: Older Hip Hop Breaks
just use ANYTHING as a loop or sound that has a beat or feel or groove or whatever interests you, a hook maybe... - dont think.. "does it sound hip-hop" - man, ive used ringo starr beats.. and beleive me it rocks if it rocks !! - use anything - i tell you i went up to see this guy 'T-cut k' one time, and he had some hard toons running and one of the loops was from Supertramp - so clever it was perfect perfect loop - so, im saying, your haunts need to be second-hand vinyl shops & charity shops... get everything, record it, take stuff back and px it, sample & sample & sample & sample....... and get a 12 bit sampler... emax ,whatever ...i like emax cos you get a whacking drum sound so hard and round & fat like an SP sorta sound...agreed for live stuff the memory is small comppared to modern sampler.. but they are great to have...
