Deconstructing Diplomatic Immunity

Diplomatic Immunity [The Samples] - The Diplomats
(Megaupload)

Inspired by the work of the legendary (at least around my neck of the interwebs) Ivan and Kev, I have decided to go diggin' myself and compile sample sets for my personal albums. Having come of age as a Hip-Hop fan in New York in the early 2000's, it's only appropriate that my first few sets are from Dipset. I'll eventually be posting the 4 ROC/Dispet albums. People tend to forget how soulful the Dip were and how great the Heatmakerz were so hopefully the soulfulness and eclecticism of this set will remind others (as it did me). Peace.

P.S. - Unlike Kev and Ivan, I won't be writing on the covers, rather I'll have a friend remake the covers thematicaly (hence pink stars and Purple stripes [||] for Diplomatic Immunity).

I'm working on DI2. It's pretty a pretty short set though, since the Heatmakerz only did a few beats for that one. I might do one for Doe or Die.
