In music, sampling is the act of taking a portion, or sample, of one sound recording and reusing it as an instrument or a different sound recording of a song.
Many of the greatest hip hop producers, from Dr.Dre to Kanye West, all use samples in their beats. The ability to take a portion of an old song or a song from a different genre and make it relevent in mainstream music or to a new generation is truely a talent. So to celebrate this, each saturday Urban Jungle will post a song by a popular hiphop artist, along with the song that was sampled.
This week's post is the hit "Empire State of Mind" ft Alicia Keys, from Jay-Z's most recent album The Blueprint 3. produced by Al Shux, Janet Sewell-Ulepic & Angela Hunte.
