Jazz Hip Hop Sampling

Jazz Hip Hop Sampling examines hip hop sampling of jazz music. While seemingly polarized genres, the two are deeply intertwined in both originating from black communities and both depending on similar structures - a good beat, improv, and soloing. In the video, every modern hip hop song is preceded by the sample it uses. The sample is fed into exactly where it plays during the hip hop song, to create a seamless transition that visualizes sampling in a way that just words cannot.
