Phyllis Hyman - Living In Confusion



Sexy ass Phyllis Hyman here has a bangin sample with my favorite sound in it... the ever elusive 80s sax. I love the 80s R&B with the sax samples. Dave Sanborn is usually one of the killer dudes in that case, but here.. its my dude Gary Bartz with a killer few lines that really set the mood. I look for these samples all day and when I find em, I chop em up like leatherface with a body. I hope everyone likes this kind of music as much as I do. This is the epitome of what rules my iPod. Enjoy one of my nubian queen crushes... Phyllis Hyman with the killer track "Living in Confusion" off her LP Prime of My Life.

Loleatta Holloway - Cassanova



Mostly everyone has heard this sample.. and its super dope and super smooth. I love this joint not only as a sample.. but as a great soulful hit. I rarely hear raw emotion in vocals these days, only a few female artists like Shareefa and Keyshia Cole can really deliver that kinda sound these days. This is one of those old school females that has that real emotion in her vocals that draws you into the song. This one always gets me in the mood for making babies... yea. Smoothness at its finest, if Loleatta and Isaac Hayes had a lil baby.. that would be the most sexified vocalist in the entire universe. Enjoy this slammer!


Editor - Morgengrün



This is a sample I could hear on the Legend of Zelda or Link video games from the 90s. I am pretty sure that this is one of those old school Library LPs that were made available for anyone to use on T.V. back in the day. I hear tons of familiar sounds and cuts from those.. especially on sports shows and on the news.  This one is just different and I liked this because of the fact that its just... different. The beginning is super cool and this has a bunch of dope chops in it. This is something I wouldnt normally sample.. but since I am a huge fan of the games that I had mentioned... I felt it only proper to flip this into something dope. I hope yall have the same respect for them old 8 bit video game sounds. This is not exactly... 8 bit.. but its dope none the less. Enjoy this one.

Crusaders - Soul Shadows



This is some super smooth funkdafied madness here. I love the vocals on this track and the guitar is straight up clean and funky. I rarely say a sample is perfect... but this one practically is. I jam this joint about 5 times every time I hit the islands on vacation. It just puts me in the mood to drink some gay fruity blended $15 drinks and chill on the beach with my toes in the sand. If you never heard of the Crusaders.. you should look them up because they are super talented and I have a bunch of joints on my iPod. Check this dopeness out and let me know if you use it.

Dynamic Superiors - Happy Song



This was a requested sample flip that came out pretty nice. This was the "Pittsburgh Sound" sample flipped by my homies down I.D. Labs in Pittsburgh Pa. They killed it and the little lead synth that they added really set the track off. I left mine more sample dominate with minimal additions, but this is the kinda sample that is super dope. The part I used was later in the track too at 1:22, so you might initially hear it and think.. ehhh , this isnt too nice, but the real good part that I used.. is super dope. Find it yourself and make a banger!

Bebeto - Esperanças Mil



This is a super smooth sample. I love this isolated guitar in the intro and I have been using a ton of these kind of samples recently. This is some Brazilian greatness here with the album titled track "Esperanças Mil" by Bebeto. I enjoy listening to this kind of music on the regular. If you never sampled any of the smooth soul from South America... I highly recommend using some.... starting here. Enjoy!

Bruno Nicolai - Cheek To Cheek



Here is a post from a 1970's OST titled "Eugenie" which is what I call a sleazy sample. It comes from the old school porn movies that all have this really nostalgic sound. Almost another worldly feel to everything. This is one of my favorite composers here, Bruno Nicolai... along the other names Ennio Morricone, and Francis Lai.. I myself hold no others in higher regard. These samples always have that drowned out sound... like everything is happening in a distance. Not really "reverbed" but just distant. All of the oohs and aaahs in these kinda samples have that feel of a sexy slut behind the mic. This is super dopeness, and super rareness at its finest. Always remember when watching older porn.. those musical cuts, had way more put into them than todays modern boom bap bullshit. Porn today... is all about the craziness.. This porn was true art. Enjoy!
