International and Newbie Friendly If you're new please email me and let me know you'd like to join.

No no sends within the last few months.

Now on to the fun stuff...

We all do it, listen to a song, and wonder where they got the beat, piano line, or what have you. Your mission is to put together a CD of the hip hop songs you like, and then find the original versions of the songs that are sampled as well. This will be a 2 disc set. One of the songs you like, and one of the songs sampled. You will have 2 partners for this as sending CD's is not very expensive.

I know for myself, I've found a lot of artists that I enjoy by researching where the samples came from.

If you need help finding the original artists, www.secondhandsongs.com is a good site for research. Trying to find the original may prove challenging.

So just to clarify:

International

Newbies welcome, as long as I am emailed BEFORE you sign up for the swap.

2 Partners

2 Discs -1 for the hip hop songs, 1 for the songs sampled, go to each partner. EDIT...

NOW...please include the song sampled BEFORE the song it is sampled in, I'd still like this to be 2 discs though...

I'm going to leave more time than usual between the end date and send date due to research.

I will ban anyone that I feel should be at the end. I've had to deal with too many flakers on both sides of the host/swapper deal, and it really sucks.

Thanks all, and have fun!

Woah, awesome swap idea! I was thinking of doing a swap of non-mainstream hip hop this morning, but decided not to last minute 'cause I hadn't found many people on swap-bot who seemed to like it. This is gonna be great though.

I always wanted to do an underground/indie hip hop swap too! I didn't do it because I couldn't find many people who enjoyed hip hop either! I'm VERY excited about this! =)

Hi, I'm a newbie and would like to join your Hip Hop History swap.
I love the challenge of searching for original samples and have a pretty good list going which I've been collecting for a few years now. I was interested in collecting hand made goods from others but this is a good one! Hope I can join! Thanks!

I honestly think I'm going to have to send 3 cds. This swap has been way too much fun for me.
