I'll think I'll use that for reference Mark, cheers for that!
EDIT: Don't really download breaks, but the list will come in handy -

Posts: 218Posted 20 years ago #I like this as a sort of reference file theory as Simon put it. I like the choices you made and some of this stuff I've been meaning dig more, but taking something from the internet to make a beat is not as compelling as spending 5 hours roaming the city for the right cuts to lay down and the satisfaction of knowing it's more than just something idly downloaded. We pay dues for a reason, we take this art seriously for a reason, because for some it's the only reason for the next breath, or the next step. Piense amigo, piense -

Preach it brother!

we cant be like people under the stairs, thats there thing and how the do. if we copy their methods all the time then it spoils it for them. although they will always be one step ahead.... -

I see where you're coming from, I'm an '83 cat who didn't break into this seriously untill '99, but since I began to apply kung-fu to this art (hard work and dedication), I found plenty of old school, middle school, and new school cats that break search for weeks like that because they didn't have the internet or have other tools the "future" has granted us.
I don't knock what you're doing, I spend as much time digging through usenet sites as I do goodwill boxes and record shops. How a person uses the applications of this art are relative to how you perceive it; but if you don't respect what the forefathers did for us, from Double Trouble to J-Live, Chi Ali and Ali Shaheed Muhammed, then you're missing a piece of the puzzle. -

I didnt find them, Nothing against it at all brother, IM having a blast listening to them as i type, But as you say, its ok to use them as long as you know where they came from, i think the only way for most of that list to know where they came from is to have the wax on deck as im not even familiar with most of those artists, and give the whole albumn a listen, then ide know what its about and all that goodness, but you know i dont have any james brown, or any hancock, or anything on that list for that matter, so in using them i would feel that ive violated the trueness behind the break.
Anyhow, dont know if im makinn any sence, but more power to ya brother, that is a nice list you have for us.

Definitely a good list, everytime I go into a shop, I'm bound to get a break.
In fact, I've got seven break records in this past week!
Pretty good for a broke negro like myself! -

What can you really know if you're downloading .wav files off the internet? Am I to go on another site and read up on the artist before I run the break through my MPC or Fruity Loops?

PUTS isn't the only crew that holds to that. Most credible sampling producers hold to that... Cut Chemist, Nu-Mark, youngEINSTEIN, Jake One, Jay Dee and others don't jack usenet sites to find a hot break. It's their work that fuels those websites though, interestingly enough.
It's better to find your own stuff anyway, because snatching public forum breaks only gives you the same resources as the next man. If you want a step up on the comp, you have to be out and about getting yours.
If you really want, there's a CD of 300 famous breaks used on other hip-hop records that you can buy for $30. What a bargain! All the breaks you wish you had on vinyl... all on one CD. SWEET.
