In the Scratch documentary I mentioned earlier (which I recommend everyone watch before they diss hip-hop altogether (rap is a subgenre of hip-hop btw, just to be clear)), Shadow does most of his interview from the basement of a record store where he finds all of his obscure samples. It is literally a maze of vinyl stacks and Shadow won't reveal where the store is or what it's name is, because it took him 5 years of cajoling the owner before he was even allowed down into the basement.Office Space by Mike Judge of Beavis & Butthead fame. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant comedy, of which the screen capture is the best scene.I might have that, but I have to check. Feel free to email me, or PM me on NKL if you want.Also, for the person who recommended Dr. Octagon, I would go a step further and pick up The Instrumentalyst: Octagon Beats instead, which is all of The Octagonecologyst minus Kool Keith's vocals. Very cool background music from Dan the Automator & DJ QBert. Also Dan & DJ Shadow did a project together called Bombay the Hard Way: Guns, Cars & Sitars a simply amazing remix album of a bunch of crazy Bollywood films from India.I could go on and on about turntablist music and old school hip-hop, as well as any number of other musical genres, but I'll leave it at that right now. Having worked in book & music retail for over 20 years and owned my own store, it is a passion of mine, so I need to know when to stop <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />I love metal & country too, btw... just not the mainstream stuff, which is exactly like my tastes in hip-hop. There's plenty of good stuff out there that Mtv and radio don't play, you just have to work to find it.Feel free to ask questions,Jaymirthcard [at] yahoo [dot] com</blockquote>
