Title: Best label to be a producer for - sample wise?
Post by: On The Edge of Insanity on May 20, 2003, 12:27:45 PM
If you could be a producer at any label, who would u choose as far as the samples that you are going to have direct access to because the artists are or were previously on the label. For me it would either be:

Motown - just think of all those classic soul samples you would have at your disposal.

or

Priority - comon, the entire Parliament and Funkadelic back catalogue to sample, how could you go wrong with those.

What about the rest of you?

Certainly not Sony/Epic.  I think that was Ghostface Killah's label for Bulletproof Wallets.  Although the album is dope several songs were cut or changed due to them not paying for the samples (atleast that's what I heard).  

Can't believe they had to get rid of "The Sun".

Well i hate their roster (except M.O.P and Dirt McGirt) but Roc-A-Fella seem to be able to afford any sample from any label they want, so i would want to go with them.

Roc-a-fella.. think about it, you're guaranteed work cuz they have a big roster, and they're almost guaranteed a gold plaque each time a record drops..

I think Loud Records would maybe be a good place too.. not sure

And D-Block Records would be dope too.. Styles, Jadakiss & Sheek is HOT names, plus they're almost guaranteed gold-status.. and they don't have a inhouse-producer, maybe except almost Swizz Beatz.
