Terrific post. I knew just a little bit about sampling (being an old fart), so your post was really interesting with all the examples which really made it fascinating. Thanks for loading in all the audio files and the video.
I know you love a good book, so for a deeper dive in to hip-hop's origins, check out "Black Noise: Rap Music and Black Culture in Contemporary America" by Tricia Rose.
We owe so much more than sampling to the underground nature and ingenuity of the hip-hop community.
Dan Charnas (who wrote the excellent books Dilla Time and Everything In Its Place) has a good one about the business side of hiphop history called The Big Payback.
