I never saw this movie until 2 years ago and when it first came on, my wife was asking me why I got so crunk *yeah I did* when I heard that. Had to put on that Undaground Legend for her....Banner killed it.

I'm not really sure how to phrase this, but here goes...
Sampling also serves to put whatever song use a sample in a continuum I believe, since the sample refers to a song that was created earlier, so the song using a sample is a "continuation" of the previous one. But a "continuation" that is new. It's the best example, imo, of "pushing the culture forward" : you link the past to the present, building on the good stuff that has already been done. So really the only way is up : the quality of what you sample damn near forces you to make a good song imo. If the producer has the ability to recognize a good sample and use it well.
Sampling precisely also expands the genre, for the simple reason that producers have to look into different genres and expand their musical knowledge to find the samples. So obviously, all kinds of different influences are coming into HH, which can only make it better. From kung-fu flicks to classical music to triphop, samples expand the possibilities of HH, which is why I feel it became the most universal genre and a genre that can convey ANY kind of story/emotion.
And finally, as I said samples are a link to the past and listeners can either just enjoy them in the song, or go and dig them up to discover the original. This is really important, I discovered tons of great music basically thanks to Rza, Kanye, Premo, Dre, etc (I'm not American so was less familiar with the artists that they sampled) so those producers not only gave me great music, but gave me keys to discover ever MORE great music by looking up who they sampled. So they're passing on the culture to the youth. I read a lot on the importance (especially for minorities) to transmit culture to the younger generations in order for them to feel good about themselves, and transmitting music is a HUGE part of that. I'm from Africa so I know damn well the social, cultural and historical importance of music (that link to music was brought to the US by the slaves) that is FAR more than "just entertainment". Lest we forget that minorities often don't have their own historians and have to just accept whatever the majority says about them/their history. Sampling circumvents that, saying "listen : this is the great music we were ALREADY doing 20-30 years ago. It's not only the Beatles and the Bruce Springsteens out there, we got our own amazing artists." I'm not sure if I phrased this well but I feel it's an extremely important aspect in transmitting the culture and thus giving the youth some kind of "foundation", even if they are not aware of it.

took that miniscule part of a song and made a classic out of it.

Some of the best beats i ever heard were made in the past 5 years...even though the 2010's era producers have alot less to work with...seems to me that they're alot more creative with their beats than alot of producers in the past...not all...but ESPECIALLY compared to a guy like Premo who would just take a sample and loop it without even flipping it or touching it up (like the song in the OP)
There's a higher level of creativity in making beats like THESE than a song like the OP
more sounds
more samples
beat changeups
more compllex drum & bass patterns
And they sound better
everyone of these beats does the same shyt with the hi hats

Superstar
dilla the most creative
1:53
0:17

i love sampling for the fact that it allowed me to find out about all this great old music when i look up the samples
everyone of these beats does the same shyt with the hi hats
No the fukk they don't...did you even click on any of the videos?
Even single one of those tracks did something different with the hi hats...the 1st migos track used rapid hi hats...while the 2nd, the hi hats were at such a low rate you can barely hear 'em.
What about the variation in sampling, beat changeups and drum & bass patterns in all those tracks? All are trap/drill songs but all sound different from one another...

Happy wars/sad love songs
Can't get that essence without sampling

The first four beats aren't great by any stretch of the imagination. But post the originals so we can see what was done with the samples.
