MIXTAPE COMPILATION TO BE RELEASED DECEMBER 4^th FEATURES THE SOUNDTRACK & ORIGINAL SAMPLES

(November 28, 2007) — New York, NY —SWAGRICULTURE is proud to present the SAMPLOLOGY mixtape series, a mixed compilation of music & the original blends that inspired them. Each chapter highlights a select artist, producer or genre.

Continuing the legacy of the SAMPLOLOGY Series, DJ Parler (pronounced par-lay) brings you A Gangster Chapter.  Inspired by Jay-Z’s American Gangster, this phase blends the soundtracks songs with the original samples used to create them.

To be released on December 4^th the project coincides ironically with Jay Z’s birthday and the release date of his forthcoming acappella release of American Gangster. 

When asked to comment on the state of mixtapes and sampling usage in Hip Hop, DJ Parler remarks “This compilation isn’t intended to substitute the actual CD nor its samples, but to complement the album and excite those in search of good music. I’m hoping that after hearing my mixes, people will want to dig deeper.”

Additional SAMPLOLOGY Series include The K West Chapter, featuring material that Kanye West has appeared on as Producer and/or MC.   And The J Dilla Chapter, highlighting music produced by the late James Yancey a.k.a. J Dilla.

Some people find it hard to understand my man Jay-Z’s decision not to let iTunes break up his American Gangster album and sell it as single tracks. They say he’s fighting the future and losing out on sales from fans who only want to download singles. But I say it was a stand somebody had to take in the music industry. Jay is speaking for all of us.

He’s not the first. He’s not the lone cowboy in all of this. Radiohead and AC/DC have turned their backs on iTunes for the same reason. Doug Morris, the CEO of Universal Group, has been fighting Steve Jobs on this for a minute now. But Jay is at a level people are going to pay attention to. He’s had 10 number one albums. He may run Def Jam but he’s also an artist who put his heart and soul into something that he wants people to hear all the way through. As the creator and investor, he has every right to demand this.

In my personal opinion, $7.99 is the right price for a full album release.  It’s good to see that some labels/artists are starting to embrace this price.

Freeway (Roc-A-Fella) released “Free at Last” today and it’s listed for $7.99
