Really? I read all the posts bro. If you read the comments and responses to his tweet, he's talking about any open drums.


The entire thing is too vague, but the opening line to me implies 'other records' as meaning other hip hop records because why would anybody need to state "It's OK to sample drums from old records" when it's been that way for 3 decades?

Then the next part just sounds like a tip to cover the sharky chum trail...If it is cosigning open season jacking then it's in effect saying, "Take [Producer A] Snare but be sure to also shark [Producer B] and [Producer C] for your kick and hat, so be sure to commit 3 fouls..."

"@BINKDOG you mean modern records? Not classic breaks?"

"@circuitbrent either....I mean of coarse classic breaks are free game. But if u wanna make **** interesting"

So we're back to the original post. What's interesting here? Nothing. OP finds it interesting or thinks we should that somebody nobody knows from Adam named Binkdog says total shark mode is all good?

Or in the second one I just quoted, Is this Humble Monsta cat saying one's production would be more interesting by taking finished hip hop drums? Or is the interesting aspect just centered on if you can get away with it or not?

Between Golden Age's posts that never once gave an actual example of what he was defending (the dead opposite actually) and that one I really fail to see how anyone is trying to state the case that not doing this wack **** is how 99% of people roll and have for 30 years is not the norm.


That's what I'm saying. Bink is insinuating its okay to take hip hop drums as long as you tweak them or put kick a with snare b.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Bink, his catalog includes:

Black street- don't leave
JayZ- the rulers back
JayZ-1-900 hustler
JayZ- all I need
Mr cheeks- lights camera action
Kanye west- devil in a new dress
Hit boy- JayZ interview


That's just to name a few. I would say he's established enough. :Sigh:

If he made those joints or any others jacking his peers finished work he's a sucker.

:Sigh: ...to infinity.

We arguing the same point. I didn't say I condone his thoughts. I'm just saying that he said it. :hmmm:

My bad then homie. Most of the references like that posted prior in the thread where feeble attempts to condone it and you posted without much personal exposition so I thought you were defending it with the link.

So apologies for not realizing we're of the same mind on this topic.

Its all good. I have been following, but never said how I felt because I wanted to hear all arguments. I posted the link because I thought that it would sway some people's arguments. I know that I personally struggle with it. I dont do it, but I have done it once or twice. It made me feel like crap. :Sigh: I was like how could I take hip hop drums and make hip hop. Now, I learned my drums and sample my same trusty vinyl breaks (Isleys-Footsteps anyone) and tweak to what I want. :wink: It'll make you a better beatmaker in the end. I promise. It teaches you how to manipulate a drums through things like filtering, pitching, stretching, reverb, compression, eq, etc. This is shit you don't learn by simply swiping/snatching.
