ORIGINAL SUNDAYS #2

Whatup Y'all, I know it's been a few weeks since I posted the first original sunday, but my computer crashed the week after so I had to put the posts on hold until I got my computer set up again.

For those of you who don't know what this is and aren't familiar with the concept of sampling, almost any current song you've listened to has probably been sampled from an older track. I have started collecting some of these original samples and every week I will be choosing a handful of my favorites and posting them up for everyone to download.

Original Sundays #1

Mixinainteasy is proud to bring to you a new feature to the site called "Original Sundays". Every sunday we will be posting some of the original songs that later went on to be sampled in some of our favorite hip hop tracks.

People have different views about sampling, some people think it's stealing and insist that artists should be original and come up with their own music, while others such as myself find nothing wrong with it as long as the original artist is given due credit. I think sampling is an important part of the creative process and it's a way of keeping the music of the past alive... when I think about it, if modern hip hop producers hadn't sampled all these old musical gems, I probably would have never heard of them. Personally I find it sad nowadays when I see how the radio and TV have made music so brainless that most teenagers you talk to probably won't know what a sample or a producer is and probably think that Britney Spears writes her own music.

So with that being said, here's the first installment of Original Sundays:
