The Classic Samples that Built Hip-Hop [cover]

Booklet contains three and a half pages of notes on the featured tracks includings lists of the (mostly hip hop) tracks that have sampled them.

The breaks have been extended on several tracks by Jazzy Jay (either looped or beat-juggled).

Jazzy Jay was the first DJ I saw extend a beat only half a bar long live. His turntablist pyrotechnics were my first introduction to 'quick cut' DJing and turntablism. Jazzy Jay was kind enough to contribute some of his traditional edits the way he would do it live at the T-Connection. [booklet notes]

Although not credited as such, track 11 is the album remix including the clap your hands, stomp your feet line played by Kool Herc.
