Couple ways. First off, I'd say the majority of Alchemist samples these days are really, REALLY...obscure European and Asian vinyl. No one involved with those old records is gonna hear it, and if they do, what the hell are they gonna sue for? A lot of these projects have been free, and the others have been indy releases.
You honestly do not have to clear samples for a lot of indy releases. The only time Little Borther ever had to clear samples was for Minstrel Show on Atlantic. Even then, 9th Wonder told them Still Lives Through wasn't a sample because he knew they'd never find the source. It's the only uncredited sample in on that album.
shyt, go back and look on Alchemist's 1st infantry album from 2004. Only 1, maybe 2 samples got cleared on that entire album, and there were samples on every single song. Koch didn't give a shyt. They cleared Hold You Down because it was a single. That's it. IF someone comes at you with a cease and desist like when they came for Ghotface/RZA for sampling Sam Cooke on Soul Controller (Ironman album), they just said "my bad" and took the song off the album.
No one cares in 2013 on free or indy releases what samples you use, especially when ALC is chopping up 1970's Hungarian prog rock.

sooo even if anyone sampled old old records that cant be traced back does the label still ask for a sample list from you to make sure?
