It worked, didn't it? I can't really call that lazy, there aren't many producers who would even think to include a Clash sample in a beat.


...also, I personally like Straight To Hell. Lyrically it's sick and the drums are badass.


it might work but that doesn't mean that it ain't a lazy sample...it's virtually untouched, are you trying to tell me that it's a shining example of creative sampling?

I almost got to meet joe strummer at his house once, touring with some rich dudes who went to school with his daughter. The party/show that she was trying to organise never materialised though, and by the time we were down there again he had died... :|


thats crazy

and i dont think its lazy at all, it was definitely touched. listen to the two side by side, i mean its definitely not a "shining example of creative sampling" but it was definitely cleaned up a lot.. it sounds cool

My vision:
In the future diggers dig for old harddrives, SD cards, USB sticks to get those unreleased tracks recorded by some really unknown band on a mac or pc in the livingroom.
A cool thing about that is that these diggers will get the multitrack sessions of those unknown bands ;)

peace

I never implied that it was a shining example of creative sampling. I think that using a Clash sample in the first place is creative.

Since when does every sample need to be chopped and flipped beyond recognition for it to be approved of by the beatmaking community.

Songs That Are Both Great and Use Repeated Relatively Untouched Samples:

-Can I Kick It?-A Tribe Called Quest
-C.R.E.A.M.-Wu-Tang Clan
-Get Down-Nas
-Hits From The Bong-Cypress Hill

There are way to many to name, those are just some that randomly come to mind.

Its gonna get even crazier, hopefully not lazier. I can see the next batch of producers keep creating different Genres all the time. For example, Benga and Dubstep & Wiley and Grime just to name drop a couple of Underground producers who have brought it to prominence. Myspace will be the crate of the future no doubt
I would love to sample Movements by Roots Manuva, but its too early to start ruining tunes of that magnitude.
Currently working on a project at college doing Scarborough Fair from Simon and Garfunkle...Wish me luck :o
