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

[Dameon Farrow]

If he was still moving records we wouldn't hear from him. I have respect for his contributions to rap but this old rapper babble is tiresome. And we know where it really comes from and it's not a place of concern

 

[Neuromancer]

Any word on the Nas lawsuit or whatever it was?

 

[TripleAgent]

WackMasters were shameless

 

[Deltron]

Anyone else remember when foolish dropped and on 106 and park aj was either talking to Ashanti or irv and slipped up and said biggie instead of debarge when he was talking about the sample. And I think either free or ashanti/irv had to correct him

Irv was even worse than Puff when it came to jacking beats if we're keeping it a buck

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

somebody tweeted at him about Dead Presidents sampling Nas from The World Is Yours as a "gotcha" and I seen nikkas cosigning when that ain't what Pete was referring to at all.

Producers did that in his era too

Yup...some of the earliest rap records were based on R&B/Disco-Funk hits that were produced in the same year lol

Pete Rock was so cool before he found the internet

Like half of these old heads

 

[RammerJammer]

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.

Jeezy sampled Rubberband Man which came out 2 years before My Hood

Pete Rock acting grumpy, but he's really targeting Hitmaka, Mustard (to some extent), and probably the guy who produced the Coi Leray song that samples The Message.

What Pete doesn't realize is that hip-hop's always sampled songs and producers always did it in the laziest way possible. It predates Puff. Not everyone is creative with the samples. Also, house music/EDM producers have long done this too.

Pete Rock gotta adapt to the times.

That’s coi Leray? I heard it on the radio and was and at the same time

 

[THE 101]

People posting examples of producers cutting in vocal snippets from hip hop tracks like that's what Pete means

 

[Awesome Wells]

For all of his bitterness over the years, everything he's saying about this is on point.

Just had a talk about this recently with a couple of producers. People today don’t dig anymore. There used to be a standard when it came to sampling and how you used your samples. It's definitely not creative anymore. It's more like recycling. And that's made "production" mad dry and stagnant, for a minute. It's all the same sound now, and no one is leading. It's just a bunch of people chasing the same vibe. If you're from the era of Dre, Tip, Premier, RZA, Showbiz, Marley, Pete, Howie Tee, Prince Paul, Diamond D, Bomb Squad, Dilla, Buckwild, etc, then you know what it's like to witness greatness when it comes to Hip Hop production and how much creativity and work went into cooking up all of those classics.

Pete is right about how there's a lack of effort and mastery in how it's being done today. It's almost like a joke. And that's why a lot of people from that era just can't f*ck with the music that's dropping today. The quality has declined to the point where it's hard to even take the music seriously.

I'm one of the main people in her arguing against Pete Rock's premise, the problem is you nikkas are picking the dumbest possible examples. Make better arguments.

What Pete Rock is talking about is things like this:

And this one dropped months later,



^^^ sampled the beat and interpolated the hook

Tired of this nikka.

do you ever post anything worth reading?
