However, they do not sample other producers.... Gettin creative wit someone elses production creativity is wack.. End of story...


I don't know how any of you hope to become great producers or anything if you have to jack other producers for drums... Come with something original...


For the record, if u sample stuff from anything that was previously recorded, you are sampling from a producer...so your comment about sampling from producers is really crazy...a sound is a sound, you can take the drums from Grindin, and if u make a song, I bet it still won't sound like Grindin...

THe problem for me is that they are your contemporaries, I'm gonna go to everyones My Music page and jack your open loops and drums, maybe even copy some of your verses and rearrange them and have some retarded 6 year olds rhyme them and say they wrote the whole thing.

Building hip hop from hip hop is incest and hurts the culture if you value that any more than a dollar,

I'm sampling drummers, horn men, bassists, vocalists. If you sample my shit, you're sampling from a producer, or if you really want to get anal about it, a samplist.

It's funny because cats get so mad when people say "how do I get Madlib's drums" or"Kanye's sped up vocals" people say find your own sound. Yet some of these same cats think it's OK to sample these guys, next time there is a thread like that and the bellyachers start up, they should say what they are saying here " You want Madlib Drums, sample Madlib"

That shit is still geigh to me man.

So you're telling me when Jay-Z sampled Nas' "World is Yours", that was wack? "Dead Presidents" is a classic. Or when DJ Premier sampled Chuck D on "Ten Crack Commandmants"; that was incest of hip hop? What u speaking of homes? Or when Kanye sampled the drums off of Dre's "Xxxplosive"? The list goes on duke. And i would love it if somebody sampled my ish, that just means it's hot as Hell.

If it's older it's a bit more acceptable, if it's an homage or part of a battle it makes sense, but still weak, old sounds scrounged to make a pound.

Yes it's wack, your examples are hardly the tightest beats those producers did, it just cashes in on the familiarity of the previous track.

All lazy and geigh efforts, cept premo, he's sampling a rapper, not a sample, can people please get the distinction? Vocals you are not sampling a sample, old hip hop vocals or new aren't really a problem, except that most new ones s u c k!

why cant ppl just dig for drums like before? jackin drums off of sumones album is wack IMO[/quote]


What you just said has no point. If you found drum sounds on a record from 1978 and i found some from 2003, um whats the differences. Are you telling me 30 years from now people should still look for records from almost 50 years ago to get drums.[/quote]

so u would jack drums from Jadakiss's new album or kanye west? sh!t thats fukin wack to me homie! i aint talking about other genres of music,im talking about hip hop albums!

sorry if i didnt make it clear in my previous post....but if ya didnt know now ya know!

That's the dumbest thang i ever heard. Where do y'all come up with this stuff? you're sayin that samplin a new hip hop album's drums is wack but samplin the vocals is not; what the fuk sense does that make? so how old does an alubm have to be before you can sample it? please give us the cutoff dates so we are all in compliance with the standards.

I dont give a fukk so if im wack, thats your feelings but you know what we will never meet anyways so why should i care what you thinka bout me.

This is what im talking about! The people who follow the so called rules are so ass backwards. How can somebody be a sampler when it comes to making there beats but put restrictions on what is and not allow.

Let me ask yall all a question. If you was to meet your fav. producer and yall talk and he decided to give you some drums and he said " I have made alot of hits with these drums do you should be straight". Would you take them or say no thanks!

By elmacaco Tue Aug 24, 2004 10:15 pm
OK, follow me slowly, Sampling a SAMPLE from a recent or oldish hip hop record is lazy and geigh. A vocal is first generation, and only available on that album.

Get it?

and thats how djs get down. What u gonna cut? Its diff thats like makin a vocal for a song, a scratch, its not a beat or sample of one. I just think its hella lame casue why u gonna use some shit thats allready been pushed and pulled and processed and altered? when u can have a blank canvas with a old drum sound that hasnt been ran thru $150,000 ssl consoles with millions of dollars worth of mastering and all that crap? its just lame. do what u gotta do. if u feel drums are that important to jack your boys or ur peers then do u, but i would feel like a jerkoff doin that.
