Here it is... Sample Snitchin' Part 1

The first installation of Sample Snitchin' with, as you can tell from the picture above, a Dilla Delicacy from Welcome 2 Detroit.

Let me start off by giving you the original (true Dilla fans will know the track crafted from the piece as soon as they hear it):

Nice little fusion piece leaning more towards the free jazz area. Would love to give you guys the artist and track name, but I'm not trying to invite postmortem lawsuits on the Yancey household. The portion used is actually from around the 0:19 point.

Now, here's the track he molded from a small snippet within the original:

Tell me that the final track isn't just pure genius. Dilla definitely did a great job of erecting a very strong sound garden around the sample, adding a very deep and sparse bassline along his signature off-kilter drums.

I know that some may say that sample based music is not "music", but, after listening to what equates to pure genius here, how can you deny such music's place?

In my opinion, a great sample job is when you hear the original and you go, "I would have never thought of sampling that shit, and, even if I did, it sure wasn't going to come out sounding nothing like that."

That is the case here today, ladies and gentleman.

I will continue to series based on the feedback I get on this post. I have another track where Dilla made two beats just from the 20 second intro of this one song.

But, if you don't comment, you may never hear it, so... You know what to do. Until then, peace.
