Hot Take: Paying money for hip-hop sample packs is overrated.
Because hip hop, unlike genres like EDM or pop, is more about how you use the samples than the actual quality of the samples, which means you can get such professional sounding results from hip hop samples. Free as well as from sample libraries that cost an arm and a leg.
