This is why I love hip-hop/rap....discovering songs/artists who have been sampled in a new song.

Yes, I'm very much a come for the verses, stay for the production guy. It's especially interesting to me how they managed to source some of these samples in the pre-Internet era. Ultimate Breaks & Beats compilations are a real treasure trove - but then I'm wondering, how did Breakbeat Lou get hold of some of these tunes?

I'm planning another sampling piece focusing on one of my favourite Madvillain songs, which should be ready in the new month or two. I also have a more general MF DOOM appreciation post planned for the MM.. FOOD anniversary next month.
