Wax Poetics
New magazine dealing with beats. Will be in print in the year 2001.
Jump Jump MusicThis online store out of Portland, Oregon always has a large supply of soul and jazz LPs, and of course the famous Beat Bin is always stuffed with beats.
Dave's RecordsA great used LP spot out of LA. Dave is a wealth of knowledge on beats, but the prices always stay surprisingly low.
REHASH....beats for daysYou know I hate kids who are able to dig up the super rare joints in the back of some warehouse while I'm spending my paycheck on eBay just tryin to keep up with the funk. I hate those people! You know who you are, you dirty rats!
Sample FAQThis is the quintessential Beat-Head1s Bible. Use it with consideration.
Phat DrumsThere needs to be more sites like this one (and like mine!), where the layman can listen to famous breaks. I mean, not everyone has $100 to drop on the Incredible Bongo Band. Fat site, much props. Go to his main page and check out the other wave samples of funky beats and funny words (a la Chris Farley and Swingers). Great stuff
SampleHeadBoo-yaa, we got goods, we got beatz, we got skillz, we mad crazy!! Foo', you bes' watchit!!!
Soulman's World of Beats Hopefully you've already found this site without my help. I just wanna give a big shoutout to Phatso because he's done a huge favor for us all by putting Soulman on the net like this
ROCKHOUSE...Music Mail ExpressWhy you buying that wack LP by that American rapper? Get your fat French hip hop right here! This mail order store in Holland came through for me in a big way, and now I got all the French hip hop I couldn't find anywhere else (IAM solo albums). Of course you're gonna pay double import prices, but you don't have much choice livin in the wack United States. They also got some European reissues of hip hop not in print in the U.S., so check em out.
M.I.C.A.H.The Music I Care About Homepage is an ongoing project of reviewing and archiving rare funk and beats, including crazy obscure 45s. This man likes his beats hard and his basslines phat. His knowledge is overwhelming, and when his archive grows, it will be sickening. Yes, the beats will overcome!!
The Switchboard
Mike Dagger's site of hip-hop, producing and beats.
