What Do You Guys Think About Sampling?
« on: June 14, 2010, 11:28:36 PM »
Hip Hop greatly depends on it, but some people argue that sampling is just "stealing."  The producers like Premo, Kanye, or Dre are just untalented because they can't come up with the musical talents that the artists that they're sampling had.  Basically, they're unoriginal.  And I disagree.  But there are untalented samplers, like Diddy, but we all ready know how bad he is.  What are your opinions on sampling, do you see it as "stealing" or utilizing parts of a song to create a wonderfully crafted beat?

No offense, but this subject matter would be more relevant in the late 1980's. Actually there was alot of controversy about sampling at that time. There is a documentary that covers the history of sampling very well, google it and you will find it. Really interesting stuff.

In 2010 I hope we are beyond the discussion of sampling being right or wrong. Imagine how many classics we would have missed if it wasn't for hip-hop producers who use samples  ;)

I like sampling.

I usually find out the original sample of a song/beat I like anyways, which in turn puts me onto the original performing artist.  So it's a give-and-take sorta thing.

And the proof is in the pudding, ppl always complain when a sample is replaced and replayed in modern era.  So if it sounds the best when the producers are "sampling" and not composing/playing it themselves, why stop?

I do however lower my ranking for producers who heavily rely on sampling/remixing, when it comes to grading them as a musician/composer.

In short, no.  There are plenty of creative ways sampling has been used.

I see sampling as a skill. And it has a big place in hip hop.

In some ways it is stealing, but some of my favorite hip hop tracks are from samples, so I'm all for it.

Its not really stealing, kuz if you put it on retail you'll be paying the person so its all good. But lazy sampling (just looping, and putting drums) with out any other creative input is sad imo.

i disagree with that last part 110% large pro is dope and on alot of beats that's what he does, my thing is if the beat sounds good you did your job, but i would say i would never rate no regular sampling muthafucca like a dr dre kanye large pro over a issiac hayes,prince or quincy jones bitch ass or any band like the bar-kays are parliment, take away premo's and comp's cd's and records they can't fucc with a band or someone that plays yell
