Live from the Streets is a video series created by beatmaker Mr. Green and director Sam Lipman-Stern. The series is based around showcasing street musicians and turning their performances into hip hop beats.
New episodes will be released every two weeks.

In the first episode of Live From The Streets you find yourself in Rittenhouse square with Brenda, a super cool lady who was singing along to her radio in the park. You see Mr. Green record her singing, then take her vocals back to the studio and make a beat with them. The beat, “Man with a Broken Heart” is available on itunes and at greenhiphop.com.

“Is computer-based recording ruining music?”

So much of today’s new music is so processed and ‘perfected’ by computer recording technology the true sound of the actual band is completely obliterated.

Analog Vinyl Sampling

Sun, 28 Aug 2011 19:33:47 +0000

Cut and paste, no digital

Sectors from a vinyl record are cut and replaced by pieces with exact shape from other records. When played in a vinyl player the needle follows the grooves from both sectors creating sampled tunes or loops.

In this video:

Supertramp – Crisis? What Crisis?
Paul Anka – My Way
Chicago – Chicago X
Lil Jon – Kings of Crunk

Wu-Tang Clan – “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthin’ Ta F’ Wit”
Producer: RZA

RZA using this is just crazy! I was around actually when they made 36 Chambers and as a result I know that there’s a little sound effect RZA triggers to cover up parts of the actual sample. He tried hiding a scratch on the record with little shakers or claps! [laughs] And you know what? It’s actually my record! RZA used it and never gave it back [laughs]. He was at the crib making ODB’s record and I came by and saw it and said ‘Yo this is mine!’ He just looked at me and smiled [laughs]. I grabbed it right back and left! [laughs]
