The Beat Debate: Sampled or Original?

When browsing the net for Hip Hop Instrumentals there are two main categories of instrumentals to focus on. Those categories are original beats and sampled beats. A lot of hip hop artists tend to lean towards sampled beats for their style of choice. If you are doing this then here are a few things you may need to consider. The main focus should be if you are working on your album or a non for profit project (mixtape, etc.). If you are working on an album with a low budget then you should stay away from all sampled beats. Most sampled beats that you will find on the internet will not have approved sample clearance. Without sample clearance you are not allowed to use these instrumentals on your album without paying for the clearance of the samples and this can end up being very expensive. So when making the decision between sampled or original beats make sure to take this into consideration before purchasing.
