Trying to reup my collection for some more music to sample. I use youtube and spotify for this at times, but I'm also interested in checking some other things. Anybody got any good leads?

find an artist you like to sample and look him up at pandora, an just every good artist that pops up google them pandora them, go to their genre page on wikipedia and research that, go to youtube look them up and listen to the related songs, for me i just find artists and pandora them really.

I still dapped everybody who suggested places to dig...Thank you VERY much...

I use Youtube,
I was raised in Africa and exposed to a variety of music from around the world, so I will use search terms like "70's japanese music" "soul music from China" and etc...

But I don't like to flip rare samples or samples that nobody has ever heard of...The challenge of sample flipping, in my opinion, is taking a song like "Let's get it on" by Marvin Gaye, and flipping it in a way that sounds different and yet dope...

I like to flip popular samples...That's why I am a little negative towards digging, unless the beatmaker produces the original song, so we can judge if he freaked it or not...

People who dig for rare material and keep it a secret, make sampling seem "cheap and like stealing" in my opinion...

I'm never really stingy with the samples. In saying that tho only about half of my songs are what I would consider absurd flips. I'm especially fond of this Marina and the Diamonds flip I did that would take people a long ass minute to duplicate.
