300 Classic Hip Hop Drum Breaks, Samples, and Loops

For those who don’t know, breakbeat samples are the lifeblood of Hip Hop and Rap music.   They have been the basis of virtually all of the classic hit that you hear today.  Nowadays many producers have preferred to use more prechopped and engineered or factory drum kits, but there will always be a group of folks who choose to sample and chop records by hand.
