Everyone was using the same samples


One thing that is often overlooked in the 'Golden Age' is that a lot of groups used the same loops and breaks in a variety of different ways, with the exception of a few (respect to Diamond D and Pete Rock). This was not a big deal back then and if a track had flavour that was all we needed. A few producers have now gone back to some of these samples but the feeling of that era has gone, it was an almost innocent and exciting time for hip hop a music that was still being molded into what it has become today. Check out this dope track that uses the Cypress Hill sample can't remember (if you can drop a comment and the original would be good to know to is it BB King????) Anyway this is Motion Man in 1993 probably best know for his work with Kool Keith and Kutmaster Kurt, check it OUT

Boston Hip Hop with a Japanese flavour

OK I wasn't planning on putting any newish stuff on here. However this LP was only released in Japan in 2006 and needs to be heard. The Boston based super MC, Producer and DJ, Insight (Worked with Mr Lif, OC, Krs one to name a few) is on the Mic leaving the production to Japan's Shin Ski and DJ Ryow.
It's smoother than the regular Insight tracks we are used to, on a more summer smooth tip.
CHECK it anyhow.
