Why Do Rappers Keep Using 70’s Samples?

Because the 70’s is probably the best decade in the history of recorded music.

It’s a black genre and that was a peak era in black music if we’re calling a spade a spade. even if we don’t listen to it ourselves most black americans have heard these 70s classics from and OG at one point or another.

much love! great analysis of layers, always loved 70s since i started sampling almost 20 years ago 🍒

Great video! Would love to see more of these :)

🔥🔥🔥🔥bro. Straight gems. 💎

Great sauce! I've recently just started trying to sample and this video is very imformative. Keep it up!

It’s when Hip Hop started, if Hip Hop started in 1973, even a break like “Funky President” actually came out after Hip Hop. So something about the musical values of Hip Hop are rooted in that ‘70s music. Even the electronic aspect of Hip Hop started in the 1970s with Kraftwerk and other bands. If you study the original breaks you basically have the formulas for Hip Hop.

This one was a great video and concept. We appreciate all the value you give us.

Your videos are always remarkably relevant to whatever I’m working on in music production. Thanks a ton man 🙏

This is a brilliant way to explain when you broke down the melo, we appreciate this awesome work man

Brilliant breakdown

Fire vid 🔥

Great video as always (and as a metal singer with that type of sound it’s far from a given 😊

kavi this is a fire video as always. good work. Could you make a video on how to profesionaly mix a master trap beats for selling ? Theres not many videos on this on yt or they are trash and dont tell you no secrets. I think lot of people would appreciate this bcs without good mix theres no good beats.

70s and Motown is the greatest sound to date for me, will always love it.

Great video

3 main reasons: 1. 70's music is relatively lo-fidelity and almost completely uncompressed, which leaves headroom to alter and make gains to the mixing; 2. All 70's music was made by people who actually have some semblance of musicianship. You couldn't book session time (which was expensive) or get an album released by a major label if you couldn't play or sing. Contrast this today with people making diatonic melodies and chord progressions by clicking and dragging in piano roll without understanding music theory, how to actually play an instrument, how to use accents and fills when playing, etc.; 3. There were a lot of totally different movements and genres all happening at the same time in the 70s, so there's a lot of material to choose from.

The 70s was fueled by psychedelics and acid! So a lot of that music is trippy and out ot this world, the sound captures the drugs of the era!

Even producer didnt give enough credits to producers in the title 💀 Are rappers using the samples 70s or their producers do? And what rapper has to do is to say "yo this one is aight ima take it". Then spit same bars about drugs and hoes/girls like 376428 times before

fye

I almost ways use what You listed in My music, Piano, guitar, Strings, Trumpet, and Simple basslines and never quontise anything. I wasn't trying to emulate 70s records, I just wanted it to sound more real and so chose to use more natural sounds because they sound good to Me.

hey bro how u liking logic pro 11? i love the stem remover

Any era could be considered golden its about timeless music hip hop was founded off sampling with technology we are way more advanced than ever dont ever rush your art for money or for fame you can make a impact by doing you

Throw 21 on Dere 🔥

The ‘70s definitely had synths and they were utilized a considerable amount. The thing is that, with exception to Stevie Wonder’s songs, they weren’t the dominating instrument in songs back then.

Short answer : Musicianship

@prodkxvi, where can I get the orsixbeats EOT kit?

I’m a menace in your discord lol 💀

Because they sound good next question

Wow did you get all this through logic’s new stem separation?

Its because all the musicians were very "inspired" ✌️

Could I use a sample on here and sell the beat on BeatStars? And if so how would that work?

The sound is passing through real air and us humans relate to natural sounds! It’s that simple

does AI write your videos

Because the ppl that made 70's soul are the same ppl with the same struggles and make their music to resonate specifically with their ppl. This is not rocket science. It's the same as when westerners refer to Europeans as the "greatest philosophers" because they are the same ppl. The big question is, why does everyone care about our music, and not the struggle and the ppl who the music is about?

60’s sound very pop and gimmicky, 80’s sound very synthetic and full of reverb 70’s soul was pure magic, competition was fierce.

Tracklib catalog is so limited...better go crate digging.
