It's been over a week since I last posted a 7 o Clock sample blog. With the fund drive last week, I wanted to go over some of the best sample examples we've seen over the past season, so I opted not to re-post those.But it's a new week, and time for some new samples.In 1998, I got my first DJ mixer, and one of the first records I played on my new turntables, was Jurassic 5's self titled debut LP.
This album changed the way I listened to hip hop. I had heard this approach to melody and cohesion in raps, in the early 80s with Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, but never like this. I instantly became a J-5 fan.
