Getting into producing and sampling old records myself now and just wanted to know your thoughts/ideas/approaches to crate digging, sampling, etc. Especially curious how the Liya Fang sample found its way onto Black Helicopters. Happy Thnksgvng. Peace.

I THINK I GOT THAT RECORD FROM THE VINYL COLLECTION OF WKCR - STRETCH ARMSTRONG WOULD LET ME VIC SHIT AS LONG AS I DIDNT MAKE IT OBVIOUS - BEING THIS WAS OVER 10+ YEARS AGO I DONT THINK IT MATTERS TO SAY IT - BUT IM PRETTY SURE IT WAS ONE OF THE RECORDS I GOT FROM THERE - BOBITTO WOULD BE IN THE ROOM DOING THE SHOW AND I WOULD BE MAKING BELIEVE I WAS TALKING TO FANS IN THE OTHER ROOM ON THE PHONE - BUT REALLY I HAD HYDE ON LOOK OUT MAKING SURE HE LET ME KNOW WHEN BOB WOULD COME OUT - AND I WAS ON A LADDER GOING THROUGH ALL THEIR RECORDS - I MUST HAVE TAKEN OVER 1000 VINYLS ATLEAST - I WOULD OVERDOSE AND GET GREEDY AND TAKE LIKE 50 - THEN 100 - ONE TIME ME AND HYDE WALKED OUT OF THERE WITH LIKE 500 RECORDS AT ONE TIME IN BLACK DUFFLE BAGS - CRAZY HEAVY BAGS HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA -

TRUE STORY I WAS IN STRETCH'S CRIB AND HE SAID I COULD GO THROUGH HIS RECORD COLLECTION - HE HAD LIKE 5000 RECORDS IN HIS HOUSE ALL ALPHEBETICALLY ORGANIZED - WHILE HIM AND CAGE WERE SLEEPING(THE NIGHT BEFORE I KICKED THE CRAIG G DISS WE STAYED AT STRETCH'S HOUSE) I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT GOING THROUGH HIS RECORDS AND TOTALLY FUCKED UP THE ORDER OF SHIT - CUZ I WAS PULLING OUT RANDOM RECORDS AND RECORDING THE HOT SHIT ON TAPE - STRETCH SAID IT WAS OK - WHEN HE AND CAGE WOKE UP I WAS ON THE FLOOR SITTING WITH RECORDS EVERYWHERE SCATTERED LIKE A LITTLE KID IN A DIRT BOX - I DIDNT SLEEP - STRETCH WAS ANNOYED I COULD TELL BUT HE WAS COOL ABOUT IT CUZ HE IS A NICE GUY LIKE THAT BUT HE WAS PISSED - AND THEN WE HAD TO LEAVE AND THEIR WASNT ENOUGH TIME TO FIX THE ORDER - (SORRY STRETCH) HAHAHAHAHAHA THATS HOW OBSESSED I WAS
