Brief History of Sampling

Here's a great - and all too brief - video detailing the big breaks used in hip hop by Eclectic Method. Very well edited.

"A chronological journey from the Beatles' use of the Mellotron in the 60s to the sample dense hip hop and dance music of the 80s and 90s. Each break is represented by a vibrating vinyl soundwave exploding into various tracks that sampled it, each re-use another chapter in the modern narrative."
