These days, everyone loves hip-hop. But how much does the average fan really know about the building blocks that formed the foundation of the genre\u2019s entire sound? That\u2019s right, before it was all-808-everything, hip-hop used a secret (and sometimes not-so-secret) selection of classic soul, funk rock, and jazz records from the \u201960s and \u201970s to create their sound. From tiny, obscure snippets to instantly-recognizable loops, the sample-based producers of the late \u201980s and early \u201990s uncovered some truly classic musical gems that are still sought after and used today.<\/p>\n

Thank god we\u2019ve got folks like Kon + Amir to keep us digging deeper. The veteran record collectors, DJs, and producers (yeah, they basically they do it all) recently released their latest compilation of slept-on vinyl rarities called Off Track Vol. 3, so we decided to call them up and get them to select their all-time favorite samples. Check out their countdown, complete with audio examples and commentary from the guys themselves\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
