Rakim said it best in ‘88 “Don't understand? Here's an example On why MCs and DJs sample 'Cause we don't have a band, it's just my voice and his hands That's what hip-hop was, it still stands The records we use are from mom and pop's collection Find a break from a dope selection And go to the store, then buy one more So my DJ can mix 'cause that's what his hands are for”

One reason Hip-Hop is my favorite genre of music is because it got me into so many other genres through sampling, if it wasn't for hip-hop I probably would be as into jazz as I am, funk, and a lot of individual musicians from which I liked a sample so much I had to hear the source material. I don't even get mad at the people who say hip-hop is uncreative and unoriginal for sampling, but I can't stand it when someone claims producers and rappers "steal" beats besides a few rare instances where royalties weren't paid, I know these people don't know what they're talking about when they don't know that samples have to be cleared and royalties have to paid and besides a few tight ass musicians and their estates, most of them don't care and appreciate it especially if it's produces something good and they get their royalties.

the path to music mastery takes many different roads. creativity and making music that speaks to people's soul is what matters. HIP HOP is a way that youths in the inner city carved out to escape an oppresive environment and a lack of ressources. graffiti = using the environment to create art / break dancing = using your body to stay fit / hip hop - djing = using whatever equipment you have to create music without having instruments or music theory lessons. this form of expression has taken over the world. you can start with sampling it will lead you on a journey where you will discover many genres of music, open your mind and expand your taste and appreciation. I started with sampling, collecting records then moved to jazz and I am now learning music theory via the piano. I have a whole new level of appreciation not just for jazz giants and their legacy but also for the heroes of my youth: Peter Rock - DITC - Primo and also more recent producers Dilla - Madlib - Alc - DOOM etc... enjoy the journey and remember that: " If you can't pull it, all ya gotta do is Push it along, push it along"

Unfortunately, music is treated like a job rather than an actual art (yay economics). You don't _have_ to learn how to play the instruments you are lifting, sampling, what have you. And fighting over who is a "real" musician just invalidates somebody else's work bc of short-sightedness. Snobbery doesnt get you anywhere either, bc you think you're better than someone based on an arbritarily valued skill someone else can dunk on you for. Sampling is instrumentation, but in a new way. Learn how to sample is a skill much like learning the guitar. A controller IS an instrument, full stop. You build your knowledge of music theory using a sampler/controller, and theory is also part of culture too. Hip hop from Black musicians/producers came from urban life, social situations, discrimination, prejudice, generational trauma... but also values coming from your family and those surrounding you. Paying musicians to play on your project is also an industry standard. Session work is a real and valid thing to do, and some famous musicians are/were/did session work. And without hip hop, sampling wouldnt have been used and widespread. Just another way to do music. Both the geezer and RZA are musicians. Not one or the other.

This scene brings me back. My father, RIP. He worked and ran Jon’s just play music in Chicago in the 1960’s. He sold to all the up and coming bands and artist. Such as Chicago, Styx, Ides of March, American breed, Buddy Guy,REO Speedwagon, the list goes on. My father taught me the industry from a young age. He also taught guitar and played in a band that did weddings and high school dances and proms. Until 1970, my father knew his draft number was coming. By 1971 he enlisted in the Navy and was in Vietnam from 1971-1973. In 1974 he married my mom and put music aside to raise a family.

"That's not RZA" and "this not real Wu" my brother in christ, RZA created the show. I blame it on him and the producers, I think he focused too much on the wrong things getting this show to the finish line.

Both sides are valid. Sampling put a lot of real musicians out of business and killed real instruments in a lot of places it shouldn't have. On the other side, times change and things change with it. It took a lot of authentic sounds out of the mix and put a lot of musicians out of business, BUT it did put a lot of producers on. Where it lost musicians, it gained more musically inclined talent. The bitter reality is the beef is almost impossible to fix. Whether the song or sound is sonically good or better than the original, sampling IS taking the works of other artists and making it your own. Many musicians feel like they're not making real songs and samplers refuse to see it from the other side. The absolute truth is sampling NEEDS real musicians and not the other way around. What both sides fail to realize, however, is that both sides have already worked together on numerous occasions to get the desired outcome. The word of the decade is "compromise."

sampling has certainly not put a lot of real musicians out of business. case in point being things like Scarface's albums, or even the first Kanye releases. or Organized Noize for those first few OutKast joints. studio musicians still got hired to play on top of/in conjunction with samples, and very rarely do I think you'd ever find a situation where a sample is used to *replace* or otherwise push out a studio musician.
@dochudson9393
Ай бұрын
@@aiedyn But even in conjunction, previously it would've been entirely musicians, so there's still a replacement going on. The other thing is those are bigger groups that can afford to have musicians. There's certainly a ton of sample-only producers like Premier, Beatnuts, DOOM, etc. Pretty much all underground rap is either samples or synths. Was anyway, I'm old, don't know exactly what they're doing now. Hell even sampling probably getting replaced by AI-generated music soon, if not already.

@@dochudson9393 but sampling is so engrained into hip hop itself that I don’t think it would’ve made a large difference, outside of moving away from having bands interpolate things like Rapper’s Delight being a Chic track replayed instead of sampled (because I just don’t think they could’ve sampled it then). it’s tough to call because so much of hip hop IS innately linked to sampling. with breaks being what started it and all of that. i did miss that part about R&B until now however, that makes more sense. I still think if it wasn’t for hip hop’s influence then we wouldn’t have even gone down that exact route that would have called for samples replacing musicians

@@aiedyn Yeah, R&B is where these guys have a more valid gripe about sampling, at least as far as jobs. Exactly, Hip-Hop was borne out of breaks, so you can't really separate that part of it. And you're right, if musicians have a gripe about Hip-Hop's impact on their opportunities, it should be about how big Hip-Hop got and how it influenced basically every other genre of music in the world. I assume they would've been fine if it stayed in it's own lane like punk rock.

One of the reasons so many people complain about music now, and not just older people, a lot of younger people, is because so many people have left behind "real" musicianship. Repetitive loops and artificial perfect timing taking over music, makes a lot of the music sound dead (which doesn't mean it sounds bad. Music isn't so disposable now just because there's a plethora of it and streaming makes for easy access, it's disposable because a lot musicianship has been lost, especially within Black America, which has always been the true innovative force in music for the last 100 plus years.
