Sample text
When did you get into buying older records? In '87. I went into the only used record store in Davis and bought records like "Dance to the Drummer's Beat" by Herman Kelly, which is a classic break-beat, and James Brown's Payback double album. All these records were $3.

" I'd play him a few things that I was working on, some samples I thought were cool. And he'd say, "That one sucks. That one sucks.
