"I have 4 kids... Who has time to do that (count records)?" priceless.

[@brandonmifsud]

guru is such a great teacher even when hes not trying!

[@righteousrecords8451]

One of my favorite CD episodes. Dude is well spoken, clearly has some deep crates, but also brings up alot of good points and perspectives at the same time. Great motivator

[@maxgrymonprez77]

[@pikkon899]

@@gimmietheloot1 I haven't either and considering that he produced for Jay-Z, that's why. I don't listen to Jay-Z but Young Guru has a great attitude about records and samples.

[@RRansomSmith]

[@rockhills]

word!

[@karriemtarver3129]

told somebody that my father commented on certain rappers and said that they was good this is proof that you could be any age and listen to hip hop and actually find some value and enjoy so when the young heads say it's got something to do with your age that's a bunch of BS at the end of the day hip hop is music good music people like it bad music people have a time with it or don't like it

[@DJUNK212]

I understand why he is/was Jay Z's Right Hand. Smart brother.... knows his stuff..100

[@Lux9103]

@ 3:05 the album is actually called "Free Yourself"

[@wizardofboogieland]

Would love to see Count Bass D and Jneiro Jarel cratediggers.

[@yomommastupid]

I should start making a digital list that I have with me at all times...often times I go digging I come back home with a record I already have...if its a record that I really love I keep it as a back up copy otherwise I resell it...

[@drgigglesvinyldjsets-kruto1080]

Use Discogs. Com bruh! 😉

[@WilliamWonka]

One of the best quotes ever, and I’m paraphrasing: “...one day you’re gonna go home and put that ohio players record on and realize why it’s so popular. Cuz it’s dope as shit”

[@mr_diatribe2324]

What is a Library album? More specifically.... The library records that diggers search for are from the 1970's and some 1980's... A lot of these contain 'open' drum breaks 'open' means clean with no keyboard, vocal or guitar etc but can contain other percussion. A lot of library records will state 'for the purpose of tv , film, radio, jingles' etc but I have never seen or heard much evidence of them being used commercially back in the 70/80s except for home use/semi professional. But the diggers (think archaeology), dj's and hip hop producers etc started collecting these heavily in the late 80s for sampling the break beats (break= the part of the record where the drums are left to shine all by themselves (open drums) or with other sounds such as percussion, string,keyboard,vocal,electronic effects or guitar).. Some of these records are very hard to find so go for silly prices..But luckily quite a few now have been reissued.. Also an important thing to note is that most producers will sample the original records for the crackles and hisses! This gives it authenticity.... Peace ;) (Ps there will be more specifics to what a Library record is but trying to keep it simples/cymbals )

[@MrDannyLaRusso]

He looks like a good dude to build with...

[@teareeutley3770]
