I just make beats as a hobby, so I do it when I have the time and I'm definitely not trying to make any money with this, for now. I like to take samples, but not to put them as the foundation of my beats, but rather to add sounds to instrumentals. I usually intentionally sample stuff that most hip-hop producers usually won't sample, all types of weird and crazy shit. I figure this way my beats can stand out, cuz it's not made with the usual type of sounds. Sampling soul, i'd have to compete with Dilla and 9th Wonder. Sampling jazz, i'd have to compete with Madlib and Premier. And those guys are ridiculously good, so fuck it, I'm gonna dig through the other records and be original!
