“… not until you've listen to Rakim on a rocky mountain top
have you heard hip hop
extract the urban element which created it
and let a open wide countryside illustrate it…”
Nowadays samples cost $$$$$ so breaks have almost died off, especially in mainstream hiphop. Only platinum level sales can pay off the clearances. There’s a reason they start hyping a new Avalanches record a month before it comes out. They won’t make any money until after a bunch of dead people do.
What sucks is when you’re listening to a track and you suddenly realize it was based on a famous hook/sample at one point and they took it out so the song could be released…

isn't his net worth mostly due to the amount of kids he had with different women? also best concert I ever went to, especially when he had an opera singer and violins doing <See you when you get there>

Just because Google auto-completes every celebrity’s name with “net worth” doesn’t mean you have to actually click on it, ya goulish fucks.

Folks tend to give you a lot of shit; however, I’ll give respect where it’s due.
Quoting one of Saul’s sickest verses, from an esoteric label like NinjaTune-that’s what’s up.

Anyone know the circumstances of mf dooms death? It wasn't publicized at the time so I assume either drugs or suicide.
And lol at folks thinking I had an issue with hip hop sampling old music. No, it's just there's a lack of creativity and skill involved if you're just straight up looping 10 seconds of music instead of flipping the sample to create something that sounds quite different. And no, kids in cities around the world are not looping old music to rhyme over anymore, that's some old obsolete uncool shit to gen z and earlier.
