Why is sampling held in such high regards?
- Thread starter just my thoughts
- Start date
I wasn’t going address you. If you thinking sampling is just adding drums to a sample and then boom that’s it !!! Then clearly u don’t kno shyt about hip hop and straight up u shouldn’t be playing it . Also hip hop is not the only type of music that samples… rock, r&b, etc all do it
you a clown straight up and don’t kno shyt about music. Stop fukking posting
I usually don’t get tight about shyt on this site man but y’all non music ass nikkaz be clowns
also cats getting tight at dre for looping shyt in the 90s
a lot of that shyt was played over and looping a record back then was hard as fukk compared to now and also it takes a lot to dig and find that right loop to sample
You make beats bro ?
Problem with this, R&B and SOUL isnt listned to by the newer generation of hip hop and rap, which is why the vultures got they hand on this shyt

Sampling on here is praised depending on the type of producer whether good or bad

They say that a man has two deaths:
One in the flesh and one when they forget your name and with it your tale and your footprints in the game.
Sampling made immortals out of artists and genres that otherwise would've faded into obscurity and had their genius lie unrecognized, tucked away on some shelf as a dusty 45. I can't count how many new old grooves I came across due to sampling that blew my mind and expanded my horizons.
Hip hop, moreso than any other genre ever I'd say creates (or created) an immensely wide aural palette in the listeners minds because of how much source material you were exposed to thanks to the efforts of dedicated diggers. More than a few times back in the C-90 days you'd hear someone playing something by someone you never heard of and immediately hit the:
to find out who that was, cop the tape, rip off the plastic and pore over the credits to see who flipped what and then cop the OG to see what you could find. Ish was addictive and it wasn't unknown to be sitting there nodding your head with a grin when you spotted a break you knew, where a kick was from, the source of a snare etc.. It was like a secret producer language, way before whosampled and all that that let you know who literally had the chops and was built for this.
I'd be willing to bet that producers who sample have way better memories than the average general population purely based on how much you had to remember and how much of the human element was essential when tech was dumber and it was more about you playing the pads like an instrument using the sounds others had created to express your own symphony.

Who would've heard of Melvin Bliss?
Who would've heard of Synthetic Substitution?
Who knows how many of your favourite tunes used that?

I grew up on the sampling so I’ll always appreciate the sound. I do understand that the newer generation might prefer their sound and that’s OK. Both have their place.
In 2022 they sell plug-ins with countless chords progressions that you just drop on a piano roll and edit a little bit not to mention all the Piano rolls have some type of color coordination that keep you on key even if you’re drawing in your own notes. Or the push one key on the keyboard and stay in key plug-ins that make you sound like you actually know how to play an instrument or the sound packs from akai or native instruments.
Samplers were really limited back in the 90s and got better over time just like the programs people use today .
I respect both and enjoy both .

Everyone in hip hop should understand sampling. There were limitations in the 80’s and we made a way.
With that being said, My son is 14 and I literally see how his generation doesn’t know the 80s or 90s OG artists. Outside of some known groups like JB or Parliament, we never fukked with most of the original sampled songs so I can see the anger of some OG artists when ppl basically used their hard work with not even a nod or thank you.
nikkas acting like they didn’t think the song was original now

Well said…very thorough. To add, as far as playing live instruments, most people don’t have the money/resources to be taught or have their children taught to play instruments. Most producers in hip-hop who can play….at least 80% of them learned when participating in church or choir groups. Not only is instruction expensive, but some instruments are in the thousands…some in the tens of thousands.
Sampling laws have changed the way they are utilized and in some cases it’s a shame. What some source artists/estates don’t realize is exactly what you said….without sampling some artists and even genres would be extinct.
Growing up on hip-hip did the same for me as it did others…..we were exposed to different sounds, genres and different cultures just off backtracking to the source material.
