#TheSoulMixtape Samples - The Art of Sampling

 

Paying respect to the original tracks sampled by Hip Hop artists and producers over the last 40 years whilst also appreciating the skill in finding and molding 30 seconds or less from a song and turning it into another piece of art.

Those sampled include Aretha, Gil Scott Heron, The Brothers Johnson, Ronnie Laws, Herbie Hancock plus many more, featuring in tracks by Common, Mos Def, Biggie Smalls, Mobb Deep, Black Sheep and many more.

SoulNRnB's Soulful Hip Hop Beatmakers

Thought I would showcase some of the premier Hip Hop producers/DJ's/Beatmakers work with Instrumental versions of some of thier tunes.

Included are work from J Dilla (No introduction needed, and if you do need one, check out the Great Producer mix on him), Nicolay, Hi-Tek, the great 9th Wonder (Isnt it great that both Phonte and him have squashed any beef they had. LITTLE BROTHER reunion maybe???) as well as Icons like Premier and Pete Rock.

If your not a Hip Hop fan, download this, cause you cant deny the soul in these instrumentals. If you dig your Hip Hop, youll know these but will you have the instrumentals to appreciate the beatmakers craft?

Tracklist in comments, Grizz back next week.

**UPDATE** Street Sounds 35 got removed. Ive re=upped it so get it quick folks! SEE BELOW

SoulNRnB Presents: Soul & Jazz SAMPLED

Our blog intro mentions the fact that alot of people are only exposed to some of the music we play via Samples. I dont even know if this is so much the case anymore, as the new phase of Hip Hop seems reliant on a drum machine and autotune, and modern soul music is moving more towards organic instruments.

But what the hell, If you like your hip hop and soul and have a bit of a collection you may be interested in hearing some of these tunes and finding out where the music track actually came from!

The tracklist includes the tracks and what tunes sampled them so you can refer back if you wish. For this volume we are concentrating on Soul and Jazz that have been sampled by the likes of Jay-Z, A tribe called quest, Busta Rhymes, Dr Dre, Notorious B.I.G, Hi-Tek and more.

Enjoy, Grizz back next week with some 60's soul I believe! Who says we dont give you a bit of everything!
