Wild misinformation and unnecessary pontification in this video fam. None of these songs or artists are "Hip Hop" this is "Rap Music". You gotta know the difference first. And, the fact that you even pose these questions lets me know you dont really understand what Hip Hop culture is and how it operates. Perhaps you are not qualified to speak to any of these issues until you do the education for yourself. Respectfully.
I don’t think sampling is lazy if you don’t turn the song into an entirely new vibe and idea. Like the way back sample to prices is a completely new sound versus Nelly to NLE wasn’t good at all to me. Somewhere in the middle ground is like I’m sprung by T-Pain and Jerry Sprunger w Tory Lanes. That I argue is just Tory adding some features not creating a new sound but it still sounds good
I jst watched another video of yours right before this that had some Diddy drama (it was about sampling rights for "ready to die")-- just thought it was a notable coincidence. But the "special delivery" version having him dancing and yelling without contributing to the song is s PERFECT example of what Suge said at that award show about himb😂😂
Can you speak on how Justice made their "Cross" album using early Garageband and Cubase in the mid 2000's era of DAW's? Even how the album still sounds epic to this day.🎧✌🏾
love the workflow and the techniques in arrangement. Just starting out and this has been the best I've seen in working with fl studio and arranging. thank you. Just don't have all the other tools yet, only stock. But a learning lesson in using the tools I have to have the same effect.
the thing about these rejected beats stories is, its way more rejected beats than u would think really i got the chance to work with a producer who has a few notable young thug placements and he told me about this session he had with thug where he fulled up with legit 50 brand new beats after working all month to make a pack. and they just sat for a half hour and flipped through the folder. if thug didnt say anything by the time the first drum loop ended, it was a miss. time to skip to the next beat the way the story goes. homie flipped through the whole pack and was getting hella nervous. thug didnt pick anything until the legit *last* beat in the folder now if any of those other beats get a placement they can say they're "rejected thug beats" haha
I became a hip hop head in '98, my senior year in high school. I grew up a indie / punk rock kid, and I remember thinking that the beat for My Name Is sounded unlike anything else I had heard in rap. 25 (!) years later and it still stands alone. This video does a great job of digging into why that is.
I've been creating music with a computer since my Amiga in 1990 using Protracker, this is the same gatekeeping that has gone on until about 2011ish when Dubstep started becoming heavy in the US.
To me Hip Hop is sampling. Thtas what created the sound. For a person like me it was the samples that made me wanted to know where it came from. Sampling kept the old music alive. It kept the old artist relevant. Its the greed of record companies that destroyed it. I saay to all dont be afraid of these vultures. Keep that old music alive. Cause one day your music will be old too
I just wanna say i came here to hate on the video and you unlocked a major part of my childhood i forgot. I listened to the song and almost cried (deadass) because the static mixed with the eerie vocals of Kendrick sent a whole rush to me
the title of this is this most hypocritical shit with dre as cover art. DID YOU EVEN SEE NWA? DO YOU REMEMBER WHO THE BEASTIE BOYS ARE, OR, FOR THAT MATTER, RICK ROSS? DID KANYE NOT KANYE? THE BEAUTY OF USING SAMPLES IS REFLECTION AND REFRACTION OF ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION LEADING TO NEW GENRES AND PERSPECTIVE POTENTIALS TO EXPERIENCE. If producers hated sampling, splice wouldnt exist, and people wouldnt SAMPLE live sounds like foley, creating a massive deficit in creative ways to express a scene, or feeling in music or as a way to connect to the audience in a tangible way. Improv uses props. why tf wouldnt a producer use a sample. would you measure an inch without a ruler? samples are just frames of reference, within contextual use. Not being creative with a sample is just being a bad producer. youd dislike if someone used or represented your art poorly. fair. but thats hating being misrepresented not sampling
