   I saw a video where Thes explained that you used a low pass filter to bring out the low ends of your sample in order to utilize the original bassline and the lower end sounds, so my question is do you layer your previously recorded sample with your filtered sample? I hope this makes sense, and thanks for the input...

   you can do either.. sometimes it just sounds dope putting the low pass filter on the sample. On that beat Earth Travelers i believe he does lay the original sample on top of the filter.

   Yeah, for sure. It's a classic golden age trick. Personally, I'll filter the top end out as much as possible and use the low end to drive the beat. Then I'll chop up the mid section/top end and bring them in and out, maybe with some delay/effects. Sometimes I'll just use the low end as a bassline and find other sh!t to lay over it. Listen to the early Beatminerz stuff (esp Enta da Stage and Dah Shinin'), they did a lot of that - really bottom heavy sh!t. Beatnuts' World Famous, Onyx's Last Dayz, Brand Nubian's whole third LP... there are tonnes of examples but I don't have my records in front of me right now. Best way to learn is just listen to some good early-mid 90s hip hop and track down the samples to see how they did it.
