The beat to Eminems "My Name Is..." is stolen too... peep

[EazySteve]

Yeah, it says in the book "Contains an interpolation from 'I Got The' as recorded by Labi Siffre, published by Chrysalis Music."

[Rag_J]

^ Yea, well dats what it says in da credits......

I really dunno about Dre's shit being legit, most of his shit is stolen from other songs with no credits given to him.....I heard "Kill U" waz some Old French Artist's beat too.....

When we're at it, it wasn't Dre who wrote Still D.R.E, S.Storch did. Dre programmed the drums, though

[Don Seer]

Storch did the keys... thats only a portion.

the producer is the controller of the music, not the musician.

[Murrow]

I thought we were talking about the Em/Xzibit JD diss track!?  You guys are talking about Em's first hit...oooooooooooooooooooooh.

[EazySteve]

I found out about Whats The Difference bein sampled from "Charles Aznavour" not long ago, (thanks Lil Jay),

What's the name of the Charles Aznavour song... also whats the name of that new song with a girl singing to that beat?

Its old news that the beat was sampled westwood played the origional song on break to the beat about a year ago. Also around the time of the song being released eminem himself talked about the sample himself it was in an interview and he had to change some of his lyrics so that he could get sample clearence. it was "my english teacher wanted to fuck me in juniour high, the only problem was that he was a guy". eminem changed it to "my english teacher tried to flunk me in juniour high...." don't remember the rest u all know. the person he sampled was gay or something and was offended by the lyrics, although eminem always does the other version live.

Okay first things First, Hip Hop was started from sampling from the very beginning and it is part of our art form whether you choose to like it or not.From The Bomb Squad to Eric B to Rza to Large professor to Puffy all the greatest producers have done it at 1 time or another from sampling portions to sampled full songs to little less known producers who dont get the same xposure as Dre or other top name producers ,it is not a crime to sample ,I can understand if you aint giving proper credit this is not the case and nobody is trying to pull the wool over no ones eyes real music people know whats up and those who dont thats why the booklet is there with creditss,hence the term credit to give credit where credit is due but since Dre credited for being the best producer in the game to having the most success in the game he is the target for hate and the scapegoat for someone who samples ,look here it is 1 thing to be able to sample a track but is another to have the idea to actually use that track to create a masterpiece a real producer or someone who has talent and has the ears of a real musically inclined person knows what works and what doesnt ,you still have to be able to know what will work and how to make it work ,these samples are so obscure and out there as displayed by the lack of knowledge on this board and others for the originals it just shows that hey this dude must have a lil talent to come up with the idea to use that and have the vision to incorporate that into his thought process,a producer isnt someone who just happens to know how to make beats or play the instruments thats a role player in the studio because you can know how to make a beta or play the keys but have no direction on where a beat comes in or works this is the producers job he creates the song direction and how things work he orchastrates where things go and how a song should sound and how it will work,there are plenty of other producers out there who sample who cant claim to be in the top 50 producers in music sampling means nothing especially if your working with a 50 year old sample and its from a totally different genre and you dont know how to make it work with a whole new generation, how many people do you know that could have made half of dres samples work ,how many people even came up with the idea to sample them I could understand peoples complaints if it was already a Hip Hop beat and it had worked before this is a beat which came from right out of left field so give props where props are due,real music people know how to create something special no matter what there working with as isnt just displayed with dre but with any of those other producers mentioned above
