    this post is very great. I’m also waiting on another “Quotes To Live By”, cause that was dope with Jay-Z

    I like Joey Badass’s rendition on “Catharsis”. May not be the best of your choices, but whatevs.

    The Asher, Pace Won, and Dom O Briggs tracks are all just the same Madlib-produced instrumental originally from Pace Won’s “I Declare War”.

    this guys are annoying hipsters, notice how on every countdown the artist just gets more obscure and underground asa the count goes up

    @Darion your comment sucks. There was a comment on the blog from a couple years ago by a guy named Darion and it was WAY better. It’s very rare and hard to find though.

    You missed Joey Badass on a j- dilla beat, the song is called catharsis

  • HypeLikeMike

    I’m confused, is it who spit the best over the sample or who did a better job sampling?

  • Confusion

    Both things considered. Best song made from that sample, overall

  • BB

    Brilliant post!

  • E.J.

    All of these songs are cool but nobody really flipped the sample to make it sound any different from how other people sampled it.
