Isn't sampling a part of producing?My point here is that Quik did in fact have something to do with King Kunta if that song was inspired by Get Nekkid, which was produced by DJ Quik. If A = B and B = C then A = C. That's all I'm saying. Also, Suga Free was clearly the inspiration behind Kendrick's flow on the song as well. Free spoke on that during a Vlad interview where he said, "I heard myself." None of this meant to knock Kendrick, it's just interesting to see how people reinvent beats and rhymes.
sampling is a part of producing, but, for only for producer who samples. that doesnt make the owner of sample a co producer for that song. do you remember addictive song of truth hurts which is produced by dj quik? did you see any sample credits on it? do you remember the trial which cost a lot to both truth hurts and aftermath.did you buy any dj quik album? check the booklets and see if there is any co producer written because of the sample he used.
I'm not sure if you wanna go down this road. Do you feel the songs Quik sampled from old songs are not produced by him?
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking but sampling is a part of song production by definition. Producers do it all the time as we all know. Sampling doesn't make you less of a producer. If you use a sample as part of producing a song, it's obviously your song. Original samples from original artists are noted. Does that clarify?
It doesn't appear I'm being properly understood. This whole conversation began because someone said Quik had nothing to do with King Kunta. My position is that he did, specifically because the beat was sampled from one that Quik produced: Get Nekkid. Therefore Quik had something to do with King Kunta by default. To address your comments: samples have to be cleared and listed in credits by law. So yeah, I've seen plenty of that in song credits over the years from Quik and many other producers. As far as asking if I've ever bought a DJ Quik album - I'm glad you have a sense of humor haha.
