Description
90's MPC Sample Pack is a compact boom-bap drum kit from Beatsmith, distributed through SoundPacks. It focuses on gritty one-shot drums and supporting bass, accent, and FX hits for producers building golden-era hip-hop patterns in a DAW, sampler, MPC, or pad controller.
The pack contains 222 WAV samples in a 43.69 MB ZIP. SoundPacks breaks the kit down into 63 kicks, 38 hi-hats, 61 snares, 24 percussion hits, 7 bass samples, and 23 accents and FX, so the emphasis is clearly on drum programming rather than melodic construction kits.
The source page describes the sound as inspired by Madlib, J Dilla, Wu-Tang, MF DOOM, and similar underground hip-hop references. Most of the sounds were recorded directly to an AT-LP60XBT turntable, which points to a deliberately worn, sampled, vinyl-colored tone instead of a polished modern drum-library finish.
Use it when you need fast kick-snare-hat building blocks for head-nod beats. The limited melodic content keeps the pack focused, but it also means producers looking for full song-starter loops will want to pair it with chords, chops, or bass material from another source.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in 90's MPC Sample Pack?
SoundPacks lists 222 total WAV samples: 63 kicks, 38 hi-hats, 61 snares, 24 percussion hits, 7 bass samples, and 23 accents and FX. The pack is drum-heavy, so it is best treated as a one-shot kit rather than a full construction-kit library.
Does it require an Akai MPC?
No. The pack is delivered as WAV audio, so it can be loaded into DAWs, software samplers, pad controllers, and hardware samplers that support WAV files. The MPC reference is about the musical style and beatmaking context rather than a proprietary format.
What style of hip-hop does it suit?
The official page points to underground and golden-era references such as Madlib, J Dilla, Wu-Tang, and MF DOOM. That makes it a natural fit for boom bap, lo-fi hip-hop, crate-digging beats, and sample-based rap production.
Are there melodic loops inside?
The listed contents are mainly kicks, snares, hi-hats, percussion, bass, accents, and FX. Producers looking for complete melodic ideas should expect to add their own samples, chords, chops, or loops around the drum kit.
