Why did Murder Inc. have the laziest samples?

[Uncle Baby Billy]

At least today, recycling 00's hits is almost 20 years away.
Murder Inc recycled Bad Boy Hits that weren't even a decade old....smh how didn't this annoy anyone.

 

[African Peasant]

They followed the Bad Boy process. Riding the wave of a recognizable hit.

Murder Inc was a mini Bad Boy that tried later on to become a mini Dead Row.

It could've made way more music but Gotta made some weird choices. Just like Death Row.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Nah today’s sampling is WAY worse lmaooo. See: Saweetie, Latto, sometimes Megan

 

[Breh Obama]

It’s literally just 3 Ashanti songs.

Rain On Me which sampled Can I Live
Foolish sampled One More Chance
Baby sampled Mary Jane

 

[Deltron]

It’s literally just 3 Ashanti songs.

Rain On Me which sampled Can I Live
Foolish sampled One More Chance
Baby sampled Mary Jane

what about:

Ain't it funny - flava in your ear

 

[Breh Obama]

what about:

Ain't it funny - flava in your ear

That’s a JLo song. Even tho Irv produced it it’s not technically a Murder Inc song

The Pledge which sampled So Many Tears

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

[Breh Obama]

The Pledge which sampled So Many Tears

That was a travesty. Notice how no one ever brings that song up lol

 

[Tflasha]

"laziest samples" you say? most of the songs sampled from that era would be considered "lazy", all those producers took main riffs and ran with it

 

[Deltron]

That’s a JLo song. Even tho Irv produced it it’s not technically a Murder Inc song

it's called the murder remix for a reason

 

[get these nets]

OP

The name of the label was literally taken from an organized crime outfit that were paid to make ......... hits.

Irv and crew tried to make accessible records that would get mainstream radio and video play. Sampling recognizable previous hit songs and melodies was their way of doing it and making hits.

 

[DAT NICCA KELSO]

Young Berg doing the same now

 

[letti cook]

it's called the murder remix for a reason

i was bout to say....the first words of the song is "murder inc"...and its the first single from Irv Gotti's album
