To the producers...Do you e-dig on YouTube or are there various e-crate websites that you get your material from?
Where do you get your samples from?

Couple years ago I discovered an old Chinese trick - find 2 highly sample able artists (eg Cortex and Lonnie Liston Smith), and enter both their names into youtube. Then go to playlists... you'll get dozens of dozens of playlists featuring songs in a similar style to those artists. You can even navigate micro-genres ( psychedelic jazz funk, soulful progressive rock etc) using this method.

Nothing crazy
Funkmysoul, prognotfrog, Marsellus Wallace's Crate Favorites (library) and Never enough Rhodes

Lol he banned me from his facebook group for calling them racist cacs.
They're obsessed with shytting on people who make trap beats. Same corny fakkit meme with 3 keys.
"I guess looping a break at 90 bpm and pasting shytty premier drums over them after chopping up a soul sample is difficult"
"y'all don't have rhythm, you like stiff beats"
Reef unfriended me and
a breh from the group.

there's a brewery in my town that sells curated records for a dollar, 
you go in there and all the hipsters spend 9 bucks for 6 beers to get drunk, and you go in with the same amount of money or less and walk up to the counter with a stack of vinyl.
Up the block is an actual record store that overcharges, down the block from there is a music shop that sells records underneath a table. It's pricy af but you find some good shyt. And down the block from there is a pawn shop that's closing, but had some cheap records. Found a red vinyl Redd Foxx album in there once for like 2 bucks or whatever.
That's my usual circuit. Goodwill, but my town's usually just weird 50s christian records
or like the Osmond kinda shyt. Youtube. Tumblr blogs. Craigslist estate sales. There's a guy with a barn full of shyt out by a lake, he supplies the brewery, but I haven't managed to get out there.

Thanks for the info breh. And sorry for any previous tangents I've gone on against you. I didn't realize you was cool peeps and a producer head.

goodwill is so hit or miss when it comes to digging. you might find an obscure gem once in a while but for the most part it's just Frank Sinatra albums, Christmas soundtracks, multiple copies of Lionel Richie's self-titled debut, Opera, random Turkish folk groups and Eddie Murphy's "Party All The Time". go to goodwill right now you'll see at least two of those guaranteed lol.there's a brewery in my town that sells curated records for a dollar,

My only use for this world is that there are sounds to sample everywhere.
One time I was watchin' an ep of Family Matters, and Laura and Maxine said something at the same time that sounded dope.
So I found the ep on YouTube and downloaded it to disc, then I put it in the sampler and made a track.
