hey jesse, easy explanation for you bro. . .to aquire a sync license is very expensive for example if you were making a movie and wanted to use the rolling stones "honky tonk women" you would pay a fee of about $400,000 dollars. some clever people came up with the idea if they made their own music they could sell it to filmakers/radio producers for waaaaaaay cheaper. the result is alot of really bad music on records although there is some really great stuff as well. but mostly bad. most library records come from u.k./eu there were a few in the u.s. look at www.vinylvulture.co.uk for extensive library talk. my favorite label to collect is music de wolfe. and for me the appeal of library music is that it was not made for sale to the general public. peace, stein. . .
get yourself a library card...and go check out library music...it's fun, easy...and best of all FREE!
When I was a kid, I used to check records out of the library. Sesame Street joints and the like. So one time, I did something stupid that pissed off my mom, and in a fit of frustration, she grabbed what she thought was one of my Sesame Street records and snapped it in half. "Um, mom, that was the library's record," I meekly informed her.

although the LP may not contain hip-hop music, any
record stolen from a college radio station is from
that point on considered "hip-hop" -
- because, stealing records from radio station libraries
is a vital branch of one of the crucial 5 elements of hip-hop,
which is, of course, STEALING.
You can do a search of past posts for the other 4 elements.
holy shit!
