Hi folks, I hope I’ll find the time to make a beat. Native Tongues is exactly my taste of Hip Hop! Here are my two samples:
Drums used in De La’s “The Business”
and since I have to watch a lot of animal videos in order to get my son’s teeth brushed:
Mos Def is a peripheral member of Native so I’m going to drop Polarizer from Joe Thomas sampled in one of my favorite tracks of all time which I’m sure you’ll recognize right off the top.
These are naturally occurring cave crystals being brushed up against inside of a deep spelunking cavern, hopefully that’s natural enough.
I made a wav out of it for ease of use, but this is the source of the audio:
I hope I can get something completed for this one, really enjoy what you all have been doing!
Used in queen Latifah’s U.n.i.t.y
Some relaxing water sounds from the place I’m vacationing right now.
Black Frost by Grover Washington (as sampled in Queen Latifah’s Wrath of My Madness)
Short clip of Fernbank Forest:
Here’s a nature sample, it’s from emulator stock sounds used on Pacific State
I was gonna record my own but I don’t think the roadworks with occasional shouts from the drunk couple at the end of the street that’s going on right now is gonna cut it 
Will find a song to post soon but here’s a short recording of a hailstorm in Montreal sometime late last year
I forgot about the natural sound part.
This. What a time to be alive
Time to lock in!
edit: Song is sampled in “Can I Kick It?” - ATQ
From Get a hold
And here’s some rain on a tin roof and bird noise from the Himalayas 2019!
Wow just wanted to say how great everyones contributions have been. I’m really excited hear what comes out of this!
Quick question…
You say we have to use two of the native tongue based tracks submitted.
Is that the minimum and we can use more or is it must use two and two only?
I came back to re-read the mission brief with the same question.
I read this as “at least the number specified for each category” so meaning more is ok, less is not, but it’s probably better to get an official ruling before getting too deep into it.
@shigginpit @Yabba yes that’s just the minimum. Feel free to use as many as you like!
woof i wish i could use this sample but i must provide it for the people, 15 minutes of George Clinton and The Parliament Funkadelic, sampled by De La Soul in Me, Myself and I
i feel like we are flooded with amazing choices for samples, im excited to get going on mine!
From De La’s En Focus
A lot of times a big part of the challenge is making a track with limited options or maybe not the most likely of sound sources. That’s why I pretty much made it so you could pick and choose from all the best of the best when it comes to music! We deserve it lol
I usually avoid picking classic samples cause it’s hard for me to unhear the beats that came out of them. Having every sample be a classic and forcing me to get more creative with chopping is probably good for me
From one of my top NT songs, De La’s Oodles of O’s
