So i've been making some tracks lately and my vocal samples have been lacking. I know the samples come from Old school hip hop 80s to early 90s but i can't really find anything. I've been using sites like whosampled to see how producers like Acen and Liam Howlett sample different types of music but nothing is really helping.

Youtube rap/soul/funk etc acapellas. if it's only tiny snippets you're looking for you will find them.
Years ago, I downloaded this pack full of hip hop acapellas, I'd just load them into my DAW and flick through until I found a usable sample. Cut it, pitch to fit, boom.

Oh every time I watch a film I constantly have a ear open for samples.
A remix I've just finished has a small vocal from an old episode of Eastenders I nabbed off YouTube!
There's thousands of sample packs out there but you have to bear in mind they have likely been used loads of times. You just need to be patient, think outside the box and look for them.

The original is an old Jungle classic. Let me know when you have a finished result!
Will do Smoogie, lad. I only quickly started the project yesterday. I'll be on it tomorrow. It currently has all of the samples from the original and two breaks chopped and timed ready.
I have been working on a few Jungle remixes. Did these two last week.
The pad intro to 'Bird Of Prey' remix is actually the Toy Town stab/vox reworked in Padshop.

Wow that's great.
I'm not really into Jungle stuff but that's cool. I'm more into the Breakbeat Hardcore stuff
Just uploaded one of my Breakbeat Hardcore tracks to Youtube.

Love it!!!!!
Really like that "It's not the orginal" vocal sample
stuff like that i'm looking for. I looked up some Rap/soul/funk acapellas and found some good stuff. I really need to get to crate digging someday
Haha. That sample is off a Whatsapp voice note from a producer/engineer called Hattrixx. He was asking me about a track. I emailed the voice note to myself and converted the file to a WAV. I then imported the recording into Cubase and chopped it up. It actually worked really well.
