Precog -I thinks is a nice flip. It repeats a lot but with a nice emcee your good.
Sanova -I like this beat. It sounds very emotional. RIP to your friend.
Kontents -Nice chill beats. If you switched it up or added some other elements both would be heat.
samuelock -Your flip reminds me of...
Most of the time ill just dig based on covers or the name of the song. If im in a record shop and they have a turntable ill do a quick listen of each record. If im in a thrift store then of course im just grabbin shyt. Either way i still find some interesting music.
I wish I had time to sit back and listen to music like cats did in the 70's n shyt. If im gonna sample the song ,i try to listen to the whole song.
Peace
