Which producer does the soul sample the best

Impossible to have this conversation and not add 9th wonder

9th was a monster. It's funny because I think 9th is sort of doing his best work right now, but you gotta be pretty plugged into him and his label to hear it. He's not doing much work outside of his camp. Dude is a professor at Duke and Harvard, and I don't think you're gonna hear much 9th Wonder outside of the Jamla crew unless it's a full album with someone that he connects with. He's like Alchemist in that he's no longer looking for placements on big albums anymore.

9th also reminds me a lot of Pete and Preem because he never changed his style for anyone, and he stays in his lane, which makes him loved and hated depending on who you're talking to. Personally, I can't listen to 9th Wonder and not nod my head.

to be honest, i never gave 9th a chance cause for some reason i was never feeling the sound of his drums back then. i keep hearing they improved and i even vaguely remember hearing a newer beat from him and thinking but i never seeked his newer stuff just out of habit.

someone who wasn't mentioned in the thread but who i've been listening to a lot is Alchemist. and i'm talking about "this era" alchemist. it seems like dude really figured out his style. the sample chops he chooses and the way he mixes it with the drums and random sounds. it's almost like a mix between soul, progressive rock, old school sci-fi sounding shyt and break beats but i love the way he blends it all.

9th and Dillmatic both got busy with that sample they did the same with 'Dollars Circulate' although 9ths version was much better


This is my fav kanye joint

That and the intro to Be

 

[KravenMorehead™]

Tough call

Madliberator.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Madlib easily

Listen to Beat Konducta 5-6. Best soul flippage yet

Kanye has the classics from the early 00's that we remember most and gets respect all day for that, but he never had the sophistication and dedication to beatmaking that Madlib and Alchemist have...granted Kanye does several other things

9th is a legend, my only gripe with him is that he stuck to a template for so long. Still, his original run of Listening, God's Stepson, Minstrel Show, 3:16 was insanity

Bink! deserves a nod. Even if he gets a bit overrated on here, he killed all of his beats pretty much. He never did a full project or more than a few tracks a year, but the level of production value in his shyt is crazy. He's able to maintain the dustiness and grittiness of the sample, add in live drums, and still maintain a hi-fi mix

This is one of my favorite beats

 

[Mowgli]

Dilla, 9th wonder, Kanye West and Rza on dust

 

[Mowgli]

kanye, rza. flipping is literally doing mad shyt to it not just speeding it up and being lazy. like these 2 nikkas chop the fukk out of samples and put em to make it sound like its only sped up. nikkas is gods man forreal.

Kanye loop the hell out of samples though...
