Let me be clear. I have a great sense of dope melodies and have a very easy time coming up with them. What im saying,is I COULD JACK A DOPE LOOP AND MAKE HITS OFF IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER. THE "POWER" in the melody or combination of melodies. Example: anybody could take the main melody from BETWEEN THE SHEETS and make a good to great sounding record. Some records might be better than others but its still the truth. Around 1994 big poppa FUNKDAFIED and THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IN THE WORLD all dropped. All the beats sound vastly different,but all happen to be the marquee songs for the artists that made them. About 6 years ago i created a folder of music that lined up various group of songs that used the same sample,hook etc. So i know this very well. Look at I AINT NEVER SCARED and FREAK LIKE ME. Jacked the same hook and both are the only hits for bonecrusher and adina howard. nikkas say im wrong for saying sampling is easir to kaoe hits with,but name me a producer that doesnt sample,yet has as many memorable songs asthese sampling ass nikkas. The majority of all revered hit making hip hop producers has made a career off jacking other nikkas melodies. Dre kanye timbo etc. I salute premo for not being a serious jacker like most but he's nobody outside the internet and eastcoast. Hes not a HITMAKER.IN 1984 GHOSTBUSTERS SOUNDTRACK wanted a song from HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS. He said naw. So they jacked his song I WANT A NEW DRUG'S bassline, and had RAY PARKER JR create the ghostbisters theme song (on phone cant link). Easy work. Im not sayinv sampling remaking etc doesnt take talent AT ALL. But making homemade lasagna is harder than hamburger helper.
is talentless theft of intellectual property.
