i usually cross reference music online through labels and rare dealers, song samples and whatnot, then once i have some dope shit i like, if i cant find it on the internet ill either goto a shop and start diggin around for a few hours...by that time ill either have what i want or will have stumbled across some dope ish in the meantime...and if i still cant find it afterwards ill finally cave and spent way too much to have it shipped over the net. but mostly im resourceful enough to cop that shit online fo free, mwa-ha-ha-ha....you'd be suprised what you can find.
