Sampling Dictionary 2008 Book

Pre-owned in good condition

Freddy Fresh put these books together a few years ago & they are basically a comprehensive guide for any beat digger who needs some assistance with sample sources. Long out of print and very difficult to track down. I believe this was a Japan only book when it came out , was very hard to track down even then. This is 240 plus page paperback book listing the samples in a countless number of rap songs. All alphabetical. A great reference guide full of information for the beat diggers and record collectors out there. Very well done. And super rare and hard to find. 

An essential book for detail-oriented beatheads -- a "Sampling Dictionary", and one that spells out original samples used for thousands of hip hop tracks! The book's of Japanese origin, and it's done with a thoroughness that blows away previous efforts like this -- completely alphabetical by the name of the artist doing the sampling, then song by song for the artist, with listings for both the artist and title of the original sample used! There's over 16,000 entries in the book -- which is a well-produced paperback that's over 240 pages -- essential for carrying around on crate-digging trips. Plus, the book also features "The Commandments Of Diggers" on the back -- and the first one is "Always bring this book with you."
