Pete Rock Shades Modern Hip-Hop Producers For Resampling Records ‘MADE ONLY 3-4 YEARS AGO' 🟨 HipHopDX

[Tetris v2.0]

I don't like this take, something doesn't need to be old to be sampled. How you flip it, chop or loop it can be completely original and unique.

 

[HollywoodP]

i kinda agree with him. I be feelin a way about these lazily sampled tracks from less than a decade ago. I guess it depends on the effort the producer puts into it. Some of these songs yall bringin up are just vocal samples. I think Pete Rock moreso talkin bout nikkas sampling the whole vibe of songs. Im no purist tho, sometimes its done well.


So...

...make my beats...

 

[KingsOfKings]

Shut the fukk up and make my beats fakkit”

 

[Hood Critic]

This is the epitome of an angry old n*gga rant. Please sample my hits y'all, I need a check.

Shut up Pete

 

[NZA]

he is wrong on this one.

 

[Illuminatos]

Damn this some hating old head shyt.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Pete's one of the saltiest of the salty old heads

EPMD was sampling P-Funk records that came out a couple years prior

And songs like I Got 5 On It, Born To Roll and Doin' It were beats that were basically remakes of 80s rap songs.

Q-Tip used the Don't Walk Away bassline for Award Tour

shyt Three 6 Mafia sampled If Your Girl Only Knew like 5 months after it dropped



In general, any R&B song was fair game for sampling no matter how recent it was. Seems like Pete forgot that hip-hop started from looping the most danceable parts of the hottest records at the time. Now, what I DO think is weird is sampling other rap songs wholesale.

 

[Mike Wins]

They looped the same break beats over and over again in the 80s and 90s too

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Normally I keep my tongue a bit civil, but I hate this whiny, bitter old, dusty, wrinkled knockoff throwback jersey wearing, tweeting and IGing like an old ass THOT ass, fukking fakkit.

Sampling been on the steez he's talking about since Diddy was Puffy. Just because the game change for the better (and somewhat the worse), doesn't mean that somebody is going to go to a damn flea market or record store and get gouched in the ass with inflation prices for old ass gospel records.

When they can hop on Youtube, holla at a DAW, and call it a hit.

Producers were sampling songs that were 3-4 years old back then too



This samples Dr Dre’s deep cover which was only 3 years old at the time.



This was sampling songs that were only 2 years old at the time.

Pete is the perfect example of a stereotypical hating old head.

Hold up, that didn't sample Deep Cover at all . It sampled the same drum loop that Deep Cover used, yes, but it's not a sample of Deep Cover. This is the drum break:



And for D'Evils, vocal samples are an entirely different story from the actual beat.

Like damn I disagree with pete Rock's premise but at least argue against it correctly

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

They looped the same break beats over and over again in the 80s and 90s too

They even laced the lyrics by adding their own stance to it. Hell, Master P and em were known for changing the chorus and just using some shyt like "Its so hard to say goodbye to my dead homies" or some shyt.

Pete just flinging shyt at the IPhone 5 to see if it will stick, so he can have that talk of the day gotcha.

 

[The Connoisseurs]

You can tell he gets a rush of dopamine from complaining, criticizing and hating.

May God bless his heart so he can change his ways

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Y'all nikka know damn well you're reaching when bringing up vocal samples when Pete's clearly talking about the beats.
