ILL DJ PREMIER SAMPLE



Like a lot of dudes, one of the ways I got into soul music, motown, gospel, and stuff like that was by searching for samples from old hip hop songs in skateboard videos.

When I found this record by Nancy Wilson called Easy a while back, I knew DJ Premier (of Gang Starr) had sampled the track "Walk Away" for the legendary cut "Tha Squeeze" off the Training Day movie soundtrack.



The only other thing I can say about this song is that I listened to it 10 times before I heard the sample. It's real trip and it makes you appreciate the art of sampling. 2011 hip hop cats need to step up their creativity!
