Be aware, though, if your music gains momentum you
might experience that
the fellow hiphopers you took samples from demand royalties for the
samples used. Even more so with 70s/funk/etc artists who don't realise
that the main reason they're still selling records is that they're being
sampled. You can solve this problem by only using samples from works
with permitive licensing, for example one of the Creative Commons licenses.
To me I realise my music is illegal, so that's why I've called the
collection "Illegal Musikk", and I'm ready to take any consequences of
that - call it art ;)
All of my samples and tracks are under the WTFPL, with the rider that if
you use my work in whole or part I want to be credited. If you make a
million-selling record and become very rich, you can pay my electric
bill or something. Or buy me some beer.
