Stax 'The Soul of Hip Hop' Sample Collection


Every creative act, no matter how edgy and forward thinking, has some precedent. Even the most progressive artist, no matter how groundbreaking, cannot deny a connection to an earlier era of genius. In few places is this link more evident than in hip-hop, an art form built on musical artifacts and hooks from decades past, reconfigured and reinterpreted via contemporary recording and sampling technology.

The Soul of Hip Hop, Vol. I includes original Stax hits of the ‘60s and ‘70s later sampled by contemporary hip-hop artists. This All-Star Stax set includes artists Isaac Hayes, Booker T & The MGs, The Emotions, William Bell, David Porter, The Bar-Kays, The Dramatics, Rufus Thomas, Little Milton and many more.
