That was a stupid response.
Much of the the black and urban music artist, and even white Pop music artist uses loops from other records today to make their biggest hits, and even from the beginning of hip hop until today's Pop music. Live music works when you are a funky R&B producer. For hip hop, they desperately need the machine and samples and loops to regain that old school 80s-90s and 2000s quality. Hip hop was born on people in your words too "lazy" to come up with something original to make a rap record. So they copied somebody else and modern rap was born. And the greatest hip hop still thrives on using loops of other people's materials. As for other genres many of their biggest hits are from machines and samples out of their laziness I guess. Sampling out of laziness brings back the funkiness in today's music that was has lost. Live playing is dead and what made hip hop the boring failure it is today with soft R&B lines or a simple played beat and a live played boring keyboard part.
Even great artist like Jimi Hendrix's biggest songs were from him being lazy (All Along the Watch Tower), a copy of somebody else, etc,etc Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Rolling Stones, Beatles, all some of their biggest hits from being lazy and just settling for somebody's else ideas. Your anger and mental frustration is all in your head, and not at the recording artist.
Every well known artist with big mega selling highly acclaimed albums used samples and loops or ideas from somebody else or a machine somewhere that inspired greatness. Music may suck today because artist like you may be wack from the start, with or without an instrument, or loop. All today's music sucks, because most of it is original, and they have no funk, no soul, as in yesteryear. In hip hop all the new artist are making original music with no funky samples now, and it all sucks now. Drake, suck, Lil Baby suck, NBA Young Boy, Savage21, Future, etc they all suck and most of their music seems to be original with no funky samples. Being lazy again is what the industry needs to find and sample funky records that will never be equaled. Then we'll revive that funkiness lost from the 90s music. 1960-80s original funkiness is dead and gone because of rap. And unless rap die, urban funkiness will never ever return, because those funky musician no longer have soul and funk artist anymore. They all migrated to dead original hip hop that play a wack beat and a simple keyboard part. That's what every likes now wack beats and music from Drake and the ATL artist that don't use loops and AI to make something funky.
We need hip hop to go back to the days of sampling records and loops from old school funk. Because original funk music genre died from old age. So the only funk life line left is the 80s-2000s style of hip hop where they sampled mostly. Force them to get back to laziness and sample the funk! We need AI too! Akai if you're listening bring us some AI to save the funk! To help them inspire funky rhythms for those that can't create it themselves. If I want to be lazy I'll just be like a Dr Dre, or DJ Premier, or Marly Marl, or Eric B, or Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and all the other producers that sampled all their songs to create mega hit albums and loops to make mega hit albums. I'm striving right now to be lazy like them, because that where the money's at, and the funky loops and sounds are at. I'm digging through crates right, I'm lazy, like Africa Bambatta said, I'm searching for the perfect beat.
All that other b.s. issuing out of your mouth out of stupidity is just that. b.s. Anybody can use any tool they want to be funky, it doesn't matter if it's played live or coming a from a sampled record or machine. You still gonna buy it. And if you are wack, nothing is gonna help you. You're just haters of technology and crying like little women about the progress of technology. Much of the new music today is mostly original on the radio, and much of sucks. Because they don't sample to make funkier rhythms in today's music, all we have is original garbage being played on the radio. Average musicians making average to less than average original mediocre music. And that original average music and beats have trashed the funkiness of urban music forever that the MPC helped to build from artist using samples out of laziness. I'm sticking with all the greats that were lazy though, we would've never got a Jay Z, Kanye, Rakim, Run DMC, Nas, etc, etc, without producers being lazy to rather sample and use machines over playing live. Rap would be dead if all producers had to play original music. We wouldn't have gotten some of the world biggest hits from much of the R&B artist also, if it wasn't from sampling out of laziness as you all call it. I mean just crying for nothing, just shut up, let the artist do what they do regardless of how they do it. It doesn't matter if it's AI, a loop or machine, we need funky rhythms because that's lacking in today's music with people using a simple played drum beat and a simple played live boring non funky keyboard line.
