DJ Shadow:
"Producers like Organized Noize mix samples and live instruments really well, but for me, it almost feels like a cop-out, because I'm a collage artist. It's like, 'Damn, if only I could find this one part. Well, maybe if I just had somebody paint it, and then I'll put it out.' That almost feels like cheating. Lots of times, I have trouble finding bass lines, because it's not very often on a record that there are good open bass lines. Sometimes I wish I could just have somebody come in and do what I want him to do on a bass line. It would be so easy. But what I do just keeps things much more challenging, I guess."
9th Wonder:
"I don't use sample CDs! I just straight sample from old records, I wouldn't even make a sample CD. They got to go record shopping like I do."
Trackmasters
"Keyboard-Beatmaker..man, I hate that shit!!!"
A Tribe Called Quest

Pete Rock
"Sampling is the best sound of Hip Hop!"

Grandwizard Theodore
"The groove gots to crackle like pan-frying a piece of ham"
DJ Premier
"Stuff out there is being classified as hip-hop, but it ain't — it's something else. To be pure hip-hop, it can't be that happy-dappy shit. It's got to get you in the soul, man.â€

"then u know.. puffy came and hip hop music started on the way to death. puff daddy was the aids that infected hip hopâ€
"Hip means to know
It's a form of intelligence
To be hip is to be up-date and relevant
Hop is a form of movement
You can't just observe a hop
You got to hop up and do it
Hip and Hop is more than music
Hip is the knowledge
Hop is the movement
Hip and Hop is intelligent movement
All relevant movement
We selling the music
So write this down on your black books and journals
Hip Hop culture is eternal
Run and tell all your friends
An ancient civilization has bee born again
It's a fact
