I never end up finishing these videos, because I end up looking up one of the records and get sucked into digging online then end up making a beat.

[Tim]

you can tell Just Blaze really is passionate about music and digging, great to see that

[JimLigon]

Probably the best episode of Crate Diggers I have seen so far. Wow! Just Blaze gives up a lot of info. Thanks, Just!!!

[localremedy]

[Emileganja]

Haha Lord Finesse was like, why the fuck i paid so much for this Stark Reality, cant do nothing with it.. and Just Blaze be like, TONS of samples and shit, haha

[gregc]

Please please please please please bring this series back its so dope

[JankoFrancisty]

! That studio is isolated like a tank ! I could actually HEAR the SILENCE !!!

[SupaDaveBeatz]

Records take up a lot of space my pops got a pretty nice record collection. I gotta go thru them and get some dope samples. This video is very aspiring for a producer

[DisssArm]

when he jams the records back onto the shelves the plastic sleeves sticking out gives me anxiety haha

[amvaudio]

Those Mandre records are heat. Pure classics

[jahblessin]

In high school this guy was just as popular and talented as Dre, timberland and Neptunes. Still one of my favorite producers to this day. LEGEND

[LATQueens]

That Pookah record at 2:25. J.Dilla sampled that. Turned it Madlib - Take it back.

[mathiasbanan]

I love the statement of Just being the best producer of all time in a certain frame of time :)

[andersingram]

Just Blaze always seems like such a sound dude in interviews ....

[rollinstormz]

I find it funny how @ 2:26, he says "there's something really fresh on this one" but the album cover would suggest otherwise lolol

[bballlife]

my dude. I think any successful person would tell you to never give up. i don't know how old you are or your situation, but fruition only comes from never giving up. it's never too late. just go do it and work your ass off.

[nod_eezy]

its called digging for a reason, once you get into it, its hard to get out.

[conman]

he pulled out a Can album. that one has dizzy dizzy on it

[infyouth]

@merocket
I can't say this for every hip hop producer, but for the most part they are actually fans of the music.
Me personally... I own records that are just dope and more than likely won't get used for any kind of beat.
My motto is "dig for good music and the beats will come".

[OverlorBeats]

LOL ... "As soon as you think your out they pull you back in" (Vinyl) Great!!!
