Agree. Been a fan since my homie put me onto them back in 2000 when I was 16. Coming straight out of the South-East Los Angeles area. We shared music knowledge within beats & rhymes through vinyl, mixing at the homie’s apartment. Today I’ll be going to the Double K tribute show in Downtown L.A.. that Thes One and others will be performing at. West Coast legend DJ BattleCat will be closing out the night.
@@thunderthumbz3293 Sometimes it's fun hunting, collecting and then manipulating to be something of your own. Sometimes it's about the way it was recorded, and that's not something you always can emulate or recreate. Sometimes you even switch it up so it becomes your own stuff (say sample a bass note from an ECM record and making a bassline with it. Is that really "stealing"?) I could go on about it, but sampling is a very fun art form if done right. and I think Thes One is one of those people who do it right. Check out more of their music if you haven't and how they have "stolen" stuff to make it into something else. Hope this made some sense. Peace
@@nic3939 I've listened to PUTS for a while because the way they put together samples. However at the end of the day its still stealing. They took more than just a note here and there. They took bars of peoples stuff, reassambled it and profited off it. Not exactly creative. It sounds good because the original artists they sampled from are talented. Buy your own instruments and make something original. Sampling is a lazy art.
@@thunderthumbz3293 What is your opinion on DJ Shadow / RJD2 early albums if you’ve heard them? or say groups like The Avalanches - people who make sampling into more than just a «lazy art»?
See everyone, it's just that easy. I do it all the time on accident. Me: Whoops my bad I just dropped a dope beat on accident without hard work. My bad. Industry: OK, I'll take all the money you made.
