All samples: David Axelrod - The Human Abstract (1969) (the piano at 1:17) Pekka Pohjola - The Madness Subsides (1975) (the synths at 0:08) Baraka - Sower of Seeds (1976) (the vocals at 0:40) Meredith Monk - Biography (1981) (that bass noise in the background at 1:10) Akinyele - Outta State (1993) (the guitar at 3:40) Organized Konfusion - Releasing Hypnotical Gas (1991) (the rapping that you hear at 0:00) Meredith Monk - Dolmen Music (1981) (sampled three times in this song, the vocals at 0:13, 1:17, and 2:11) Rotary Connection - Life Could (1968) (the drums at 0:26) Sorry if I missed a few samples, as there are probably a lot of other samples in this song that I missed. This is only according to WhoSampled.

This song made me realize and fully understand the power of sampling. A lot of people look down on sampling like it's 'stealing'. Nah, it's using building blocks to create something unique. It's always been. And this track is a perfect example. Giving the opportunity to people to make music that they would've never made otherwise.
@felins2294 Жыл бұрын
i'd never understand the distaste for amazing sampling in music. it's a wonderful form of art in hip hop. albums like donuts by j dilla or endtroducing like this example are some of the most critically acclaimed hip hop albums of all time.

@@felins2294 This distaste comes from people who listened to producers that were lazy. You know the ones that took a 16 bar chunk of a song and laid a beat on that and called it 'their own new song'. I get the frustration. Because sampling is not about that. The goal of sampling - to me - is taking already existing bits and pieces and going as far away as possible from their original context. Combine them, play with them, make them almost unrecognizable to make something completely new. There's nothing wrong with that. And to the listener - it's also a challenge to find where all those bits and pieces came from.

It was 1am, the air was still and cool, no cars in sight and only the street lights illuminated my path home. I just decided to sit down on a bench and take everything in. The only way I can describe that moment was just total bliss

Dear DJ Shadow, I don't know if you will ever read this, but I want you to know this is the number one song for meditation for me pretty much since this video came out. There are nights where I listen to this song over and over and over and over again. This is the song I want played during my eulogy. This is definitely the number one song I've listened to the most in my life, and I'm nowhere near done listening to it. And if there is one song that is definitely I'll turn my life in a positive way it is this one. DJ Shadow, I don't know if you'll ever be able to read this but please know you have altered my life, alter my reality permanently in a positive way. Thank you so much Wherever You Are💯 42 years old, been listening to this since I was 18..

Stan 59 I like it! Keep up the free associative interpretations, (them’s my favorites) cuz they’re bold attempts to paint with words- that which falls short of honesty when we build prisons out of rational, expository logic... Even when we earnestly seek to translate our experience of listening to music into some sort of widely accessible coherence, the power of poetic imagery, surrealism, irrational incoherence, etc. can paradoxically have the effect of producing a more honest, coherent, grounded picture of that otherwise deeply personal, and impossible to truly fully transmit, experience! Whew! What a mouthful, heh... (Ever sonde I recently began responding to people’s comments on music on KZbin, I end up waxing grandiose and sprawling with prosaic, possibly pedantic, always obnoxiously alliterative assertions about my own feelings which I share with those to whom I respond. Your comments validate my own listening experiences 👍🏽 Hope you feel subsequently validated; connected to your fellow human audiophiles 😉 Stay human!

I was skipping school when I bought entroducing the day it came out. It was at a mall in a store called camelot music. I didn't know anything other than it looked like people digging in crates on the cover, and as a person who wanted to sample and make beats at the time that was enough. I hit the jackpot of all jackpots that day, and ever since I've thought about that experience and the chances of it all happening the way it did. No tape/cd/record has ever been played more in my one humble lifetime so far. Sometimes my 2nd favorite track changes, from changeling to organ donar, to what does your soul but usually #2 for me is Building steam with a grain of salt... but #1 has always been Midnight In A perfect World. I've had the luck to share this with a few people at different times in my life. Every time I listen it's like another small footnote gets added to where I am, what I've done, what I've been through, and those that shared space and time with me. I wish everyone the best and hope you find a Midnight.

'Endtroducing' was one of the first records I got when I started collecting vinyl in the ninth/tenth grade. (So around '07; I'm old.) I was admittedly a difficult, lonely kid that'd find solace in listening to music in my bedroom most of the time. 'Midnight's always reminded me of that period in my life. Artists like Shadow were what led me down a path of getting serious about music and cultivating a knowledge via headphones and speakers.
