I rock samples from kids songs to soundtracks. At the moment i'm heavy into some spanish guitar and dance records from the 50's. There is also a gold mine in old reggae tracks.
For me, it depends on the song and what vibe I'm trying to capture. I grew up listening to music of all sorts so my answer is, I'll sample anything and everything that sounds hot. I try not to limit myself to what I will and won't sample. The minute I do that will be the minute I stop growing as an artist. If it's country and it fits what I'm trying to do and it's sounds hot, then I'm going to sample it. I am working on a track right now with a sample from a country artist. And you would never know unless you knew where the sample came from.
mhhh my COOKIE HOMEBOY said that it doesnt matter where the samples come from what country or what genre as long as u feelin it and have an idea with its all good. basicaly i agree what cookie is tellin me (i have to if not he stomps me).
so far i've been into sampling shit from movie scores. one of the recent beats i did used samples from the basic instinct score and from the 2001 a space odyssey soundtrack

damn, sampling classical seems really hard especially considering that violins are completely in different time than the cellos and bassy instruments the majority of time. dunno how to explain it, but it's hard to sync up over drums for me so far.
Even though it takes more time, right now I just make beats from scratch. I sit down on my keboard and start with the drums>piano>guitar?>bass--
However, I'm looking into buying a drum machine soon. Any recommendations?
