9th Wonder and The Art of Sampling Class at Duke University

They sure didn't have classes like this when I went to university. Check this video below from the Art of Sampling class conducted at Duke University. They brought in hip-hop producer 9th Wonder; Harry Weinger, vice president of A&R for Universal Music Enterprises and had a panel discussion. Not only showcasing the art of sampling the classic Motown catalog and breakbeat culture, they dug into the background of copyright laws, writing credits, and shared some great stories about Motown artists in the studio, including old school production techniques. This drop's really for producers and music fanatics, but well worth the watch if you have the time. Start at 16:46 to skip the long winded introductions typical of the university seminar setting.
