You also have to remember technically you have to credit/get permission from the original artist to make money off a sample. Under that paradigm it's definitely not stealing

It’s honestly dead now,producers now are either too uncultured in music to be good at sampling or dudes like Alchemist just don’t have the backing and money to sample like they use to. Pretty much why Hip Hop is so lost sound wise now.

that first one samples one of my favourite Brit bands of the 60s The Small Faces

very nice

Sometimes it can be corny and lazy, like Saweetie with My Type and that new god awful Blow the Whistle Too Short sample

That s*** just whack

But sampling can be an actual art form, where you create something new and dope from something old

I knew it was over when music bloggers (cacs) started making articles about how "Sampling keeps hip-hop in a box" or "Sampling prevents growth". S*** doesn't even make any sense whatsoever

It was an obvious campaign by labels to save a ton of money by popularizing the much cheaper sounds of trap music.

One of the worst threads I’ve seen on this site

Did op just discover hiphop or something? How is sampling stealing

Of course nigga got a nick drake avi too

this guy has MF DOOM as one of his top artist...

I mean playing a guitar is technically stealing because every technique, chord is already created and there’s a theory that you follow

So you’re just innovating instead of inventing which is the same as sampling

“Plagiarism is an ugly word for what, in rock and roll, is a natural and necessary — even admirable — tendency, and that is to steal. Theft is the engine of progress, and should be encouraged, even celebrated, provided the stolen idea has been advanced in some way. To advance an idea is to steal something from someone and make it so cool and covetable that someone then steals it from you. In this way, modern music progresses, collecting ideas, and mutating and transforming as it goes.”

Spoken by the GOAT Nick Cave

Bruh reached deep in the boomer bag to find a topic

Sampling done well is difficult af

Thread should've been locked

How is that stealing when artists have been covering other artists songs for decades and putting them on their own albums without any complaints of "lack of creativity"

you must have never heard of Pat Boone

Idc if your doing what dre did with g thang and basically just taking the entire song. If your adding your own melodies and verses it's still your own creative work

horrid, but the zombies got paid so no its not technically theft. just lazy.

Who gives a f*** about intellectual property s*** aint even real
