i def agree with u el. i'd NEVER even thing about sampling something current. shiiiit i hate to even sample anything after 1980. thats just me tho. buuuut what do u think about these r&b joints. u know how sooooo many r&b joints these days are samples of current or recent hip hop joints. theoretically, is that as wrong?? just wondering 8)

Think of how many hip hop joints are sampling new RnB joints!! Why is it that dreads always have that integrity shyt on lock? ;)

I'm not saying it's wrong, it's just incest. If you can't bring something new to hip hop, and you just want to nip at the heels of Just Blaze and such, then you sample the drums and stuff they used already, that's like taking sloppy seconds. I'd rather bring in some eskimo chick that no one has ever seen before and make them say DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!! than try and get kelis after nas, or a chick that looks like kelis and is hot and all, but is just a knockoff.

I swear, a lot of cats I think would be happy with a drum machine that just has the drums from curent hits.

Kanye owns no drums man, he steady rippin them off others.

You'd be surprised, I've seen a few MPC's that belong to famous producers, no turntable, but a cd player with new hits. Some of them even name their sounds like Rkelly kik, Destchild snare, mcnite gtar. These were not from people that produced those artists.

That shyt is geigh...

Maybe you're not the biggest Nas fan, but I recommend that you pick up "It WasWritten". A lot of artists that came from QB are good.

YUP!!!

I do that same thing vak. 79 and earlier. Sampling sh*t from the 80's has Puff Daddy written all over it.

I heard this song on the "Honey" soundtrack. Missy had something to do with it. They looped up the beginning of the song "Ya'll Been Warned" by Wu-Tang. You could even hear Meth's voice throughout the whole song.

Terrible. Just terrible. :cry:

[quote="Blue Haze"]

Check it out most pros send out 20 to 30 beats on a CD or whatever to an artist the artist may pick five or less out of that. If L.E.S the producer of the classic "Life a ****" from the Illmatic LP used that sample it was for a reason cuz NAS pick it or wanted to use it to maybe show his lyricial skills over Roc crew or to catch that Kanye Vibe too.

"Kanye Vibe"??

Ok I'm not mad atcha.

But first of all, it was a JayDee beat we were talking about that L.E.S. used for a Nas song.

And second,...I would call it a "Roots Vibe", a "JayDee Vibe", a "Hi-Tek Vibe", a "Mos Def Vibe"...hell, anything before I call it a "Kanye Vibe"

Listen...

Kanye is doing his thizzle, but I'm sorry man....that's definitely not his vibe.

DO ANYONE UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

what is it called?... like neo-soul or something??

Please respond to this if you know what I'm talking about.
