Your best bet is to ask him... But for real, I hope nobody snitches in here. That is foul on so many levels.

If some thirsty lawyer was to see this, your throwing next man under the bus. There is one of the reasons he doesn't list it in the video or show the sleeve.

This is besides my opnion on using the same samples as someone else if that's why your asking. It won't make you any better. Finding your own stuff will tho.. But at the end of the day what you do is on you, no matter what anyone thinks. Including me.

But I stand by why I say this fully.

I disagree wholeheartedly StarOne. If no one ever knows the sample but the upper echelons. the only person who loses is the sampled artist.

How can one spread the knowledge of dope, older music if the listener has no idea where the original sample came from?

I realise why there is a clandestine approach to this and why it could be called 'biting' but that relates to a whole 'nother era of hip hop. When the DJ would scratch off the label to his records so no one else could rock his jams but in today's world DJ's don't take this approach, even the older cats who started this probably don't continue this habit.

At the end of the day, if someone wants to use a sample which has already been used and not flip it in a different way but still tries to pass it off as his/her own beat, then that is wack and anyone who knows a little bit about hip hop will agree. But if said individual just wants to expand their musical knowledge and try and recreate their favourite beat for their own pleasure, then there should be nothing wrong in using whatever sample they want.

my two dollars

it's like taking credit for a sample that you found. calling someone a biter for wanting to flip the sample different instead of realizing that you didn't create that sample in the first place. besides if you're that good then you don't need to try to take credit for something you sampled from a musician in the first place, because your beat should stand on its own. if your whole beat is just the sample on loop then you aint that tight anyway.

How 'bout this.

Dig for the sample like the original did then get flipping rights.

Nuff said, I'm out.

Hey!!! Thats the homeboy..naw man..can't blast the sample unless he gives it..just ain't right..hes a cool cat though so im sure if u asked privately he'd give it to yah..if he has a business/client/artist who is blessing it I don't think it would be right cause it could derail projects fast. Thats not a rare cut at all though..gotta do the knowledge. .thats half the fun of it:)
