Here is what DJ Parler had to say about the mix.

"My latest project is similar in vein to past Samplology mixes - this project contains some of my favorite love-inspired hip hop tracks, their samples, and love-inspired originals to some of your favorite tracks. No track listing, one mp3, enjoy..."

Samplology ( A Gangster Chapter) - Mixed by DJ Parler

I've got to say that the American Gangster album is one of my favorite albums of the last few years. I love the concept and how it was inspired by the movie, and I especially love all the sample-based music thanks to Puffy and the Hitman (yes, Puffy). Below is a nice mix of the samples used in the album.
