About The Art of Sampling and what’s in the 3rd Edition

The Art of Sampling, 3rd Edition is the largest, most comprehensive study ever written on music sampling and copyright law, and it’s the definitive book on sampling in the hip hop/rap music tradition. Detailed, sharply informative, engaging, and intensely thought-provoking, The Art of Sampling, 3rd Edition is one of the most striking and poignant music studies in recent history.

Figuratively and literally speaking, The Art of Sampling, 3rd Edition is a Big Book! It contains 1768 pages and 27 chapters, and it includes an extensive index that’s perfect for music makers, educators, scholars, and hip hop/rap fans alike.

Having completed final production of The Art of Sampling, 3rd Edition, all that’s left is to do is finish the final copy edit and print up copies. Right now, my remaining need to pay for everything sits at $10,000. So I’m reaching out to you for your help. If you can pledge your support of $25 today, or whatever you can afford, that will help out tremendously.

Thank you for your support!
