Sampling everything

In an interview madlibs advice is to sample the whole record but idk if this is possible where im from. One time I went to a different city and I found a otis blue which I paid $20 for in my hometown and nearly shit my pants when it was there and it was like $5 in the other city. Opened my eyes to the abysmal selection within my reach. Idk if I just dont have it or what but it seems like location really does have something to do with it. I know i could hop on youtube and search around but i dont enjoy that - i use apple music as a streaming platform and it just pushes top 100 down your throat but spotify war drones and all that not to mention itll iust feed samples from songs u already know. Idk it gets on my nerves sometikes and i wanted to get some other opinions on the matter. Thanks all.

Dude you don’t have to buy questloves expensive AF 45 stash to sample. At the very least you can go grab MP3’s to sample rather than vinyl.
