This week we have something special for you guys. EMPT got an exclusive interview with one of the pioneers of the art of sampling, the one and only Buckwild….. I know loyal EMPT go-ers pride themselves on knowledge of music, so if you’re not already familiar with this legendary producer, this is a great introduction. [...]
The 1966 film The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly was a classic western that tells the story of three men who dangerously pursue information about the location of a buried treasure of coins. The three characters, including a young Clint Eastwood as Blondie (“The Good”), go through several different stages in their relationships with [...]
This is the One Year Anniversary of Sample Saturday… and a very special one at that. This past week I lost a friend of mine that I grew up with, went to school with, worked at Applebee’s with… and built a lot of unique memories with. On Monday after his funeral service I spent hours [...]
Back with another Dr. Dre Sample Saturday. According to his words, the man had something major to prove with this project. For the last couple of years, there’s been a lot of talk out on the streets about whether or not I can still hold my own, whether or not I’m still good at producing. That [...]

I remember walking into Buckwild’s studio one night late last year just to bullshit with the master himself and talk music, and I asked as I always do “Anything been coming out that you’re feeling?” Â He asked “You heard that new Jay Electronica?” Â I had not – so he put me on. Â Just Blaze flipped [...]

When All Eyez on Me came out in 1996, I was in middle school, and was still getting familiar with hip hop as a genre.  For years, all I listened to was the east coast heavy hitters of the time, and it took me a while to really give Pac the proper attention.  I still consider [...]
Today’s Sample Saturday includes songs from two very prestigious recordings; Illmatic, one of the most critically acclaimed hip hop albums of all time, and Thriller, the best selling album in history. Illmatic introduced the world to Nas’ lyrical talents and established him immediately as one of the major players in the rap game.  The album did not receive [...]
Last year Kevin Casey gave Et Musique Pour Tous the exclusive release on his New York-centric mixtape Live From New York, and what a privilege it was. I don’t want to say much because this entry is all about the interview but we saw K.C. create this mixtape from scratch out of his studio in [...]
