Crooklyn Dodgers Sample has been Identified!

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

Dope find, but even more props for putting me up on the entire song itself.

Absolutely beautiful music. Heading into my jazz rotation immediately

Tip is a genius, but people really gotta stop sample snitching though.

Its 2025. All that hush hush, peel the labels off the record days are DONE!! Nikkas can download royalty free samples, midi patterns, connect with real musicians, join sample websites that let you sample libraries for cheap etc.

If you want to grab something off vinyl still then pay the price if its recognizable.

The art of flipping and chopping

I can’t say you wrong breh. I had a blog dedicated to unearthing samples, so I’m an admitted snitch.

But the music nerd in wants to know about the songs and artists sampled. Plus this is one people have been looking for for 30+ yrs. Even Tip couldn’t recall what he sampled lol

I get that.

Sometimes I want to know too. We used to just dig to find out. Sh*t might take years too. Because we knew if we asked one of these dudes, they would say they're not telling, lol. Dave from De La said Tip wouldn't even tell him where he got this from. HAHA! That was always the rule. So I still follow it.

RZA just said that he doesn't say where he got samples from because recently with all these sites, they expose the records and people have been coming after him for checks. LOL!!

... when i finally got an MPC around the turn of the century . . it was the whole ritual of hitting up random antique shops and salvation armies in the middle of nowhere .. and flea markets. . . even garage sales in some random burbs . . . takin road trips OT just to cop old vinyl . . . all that shyt . . . . and you go home and throw them platters on the belt-drive Lineartech thinkin you doin something . . .. then out of nowhere its like . . .. Oh Shyt !!!!! - Large Pro flipped THAT one ?!!?!! . . . and you get that academic sense of accomplishment better than public school ever gave . . . like you just discovered the cosmic algorithm that makes water wet . . . . .. and then if you Real and stick to the Code .. . . you file that part of that song away in the mental archives and let it rest untouched .. . but forget about loops . .. lets not even get started on sampled percussion . . . . way back . .. . heads were super protective of where they ripped their kicks and snares and hats and all that . . ..

Yup! That's all facts.

I started on the MPC 2000, when I was in high school. There used to be a dude who had a table on Broadway with mad old records in crates, selling them for fifty cents and a dollar each. I used to take my damn lunch money and try to find sh*t that I saw dudes used, in the album credits. LOL!! I didn't even want to use the same samples, but I wanted to know what kinda sh*t my heroes were using for all those classic beats.

And if they left their drums open, I was definitely chopping and taking their snares and kicks and flipping those into my own sh*t. Once I saw Ski take those Tribe drums and make "Dead Presidents", I was doing that all day, everyday. HAHA!

Jazz is always a goldmine for sampling

Those basslines, saxes and pianos at the right keys are just magic every time. When he sped it up I instantly peeped how it caught Tip's attention.

Q-Tip left his drums open on a lot of tracks...and he had the BEST drums so it was like he was just giving away crack lmao.

Erick Sermon jacked Q-TIp's drums the most, but considering everybody under the sun jacked You're a Customer's drums he should have free reign

Word! Tip, Pete and Erick used to always leave their drums open. Premier too.

For us back then, that was like a damn goldmine when we got equipment. HAHA! Most of us didn't want to loop drums, so we would catch kicks and snares off of everybody else's sh*t and just flip them.

Erick filtered the bass-line just right . .

 

[KingsOfKings]

Dope find

 

[Awesome Wells]

Truth!

That's back when the filtered basslines were the way to go!

I used to play this track all day when it dropped. Erick had some of the best basslines in the early to mid 90's.

 

[Don'tCallMeLuckyB]

Bro how is hip hop not the greatest genre

The most creative genre ever. These brothers sat and listened to entire albums just to grab 3-5 seconds of a song, chopped it, looped it and made a whole song. I love this shyt.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

sampling is the dopest shyt ever
