Need a balance of quality and price. (in other words i'm broke) Something I can record straight into the computer with. Gonna make some samples and they gotta be as good as they sound in real life...

For vocals, the rhodes NT-1 is a good low priced mic.
For sampling percussion and stuff, I think you are better off with a dynamic mic. I don't know much about them. Sure make good ones.
What I do know is that you will need a mic pre-amp. You might be able to plug it into the mic input in your computer but you won't get a very good result.

The Shure SM-57 or SM-58. Incredible general-purpose workhorse mic. Dynamic, so you would be best getting a pre-amp for it, but otherwise it may work on a normal mic line in.
I know nothing about mics but I notice that my DJ mixer has a 1/4" mic input. Does the mixer have a mic pre-amp it is using? I am thinking it might be a cheap way of making it sound better then gping directly into a sound card without buying more gear.
If you want the super ghetto mic setup. Plug your headphones into the mic inout and speak into the left ear piece! Oh ya! I love doing that (I just hope it is not bad for my headphones ).

You won't have any sound at all, as the NT-1 is a condenser mic, and it needs phantom power.
recommend a good/cheap mic.
