I love sampling but I hate this mindset when it comes to them.

Soul sample beats can be just as generic as trap beats, and nobody seems to realize that

Imagine comparing the artistry and outburst of emotion of Sean Combs, also known by his stage names Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy, or Puffy alongside the great 112 to this s*** they're doing right now. You don't know ball I'm afraid

Kay Flock and Cardi clear

This channel is dope as hell

Definitely

Any and every rapper is elevated when they get on a sample based song

It definitely is, to the point that some people are annoying about it and look down on trap music etc..

yeah we def not talking about this s*** trend.

talking about the mo town chipmunk singing your soul out chops

Honestly sampling itself is timeless and is the key to music never having limits

There is a finite amount of chord progressions and s*** that sound good but there are endless ways that different people will sample the same song from pitches to technique to effects etc

In

It’s art this is not americas got talent or something lol

Art is still a matter of taste ,and there's good taste and bad taste. All art is subjective but alot of art can be considered "distasteful" and i think the art of sampling today is "distasteful".

When you got beautiful s*** like this as the tools at your disposal you're already at an advantage. It's not a lay up, but it's about executing imo

Example of a solid song that becomes incredible with a top tier soul sample

They're not common enough anymore in the mainstream to feel that way though

People are speaking out against oversaturation more than anything

How is it a sub genre?

I agree to an extent but back in the day popular songs were getting sampled too, whether it was a break beat or a vocal sample. I mean James Brown was arguably the most popular black entertainer in history at one point

Someone on here tried telling me getting on soul samples is reddit bait dumbass

U have every right to that take my bad for being hostile . I just think you’d enjoy the genre more if your perception of it was a lil less rigid & you enjoyed the sound for what it is on face instead of a preconceived criteria of what it should be . It’s a bit like expecting everything rapper to be a technical MC

• only exception is cheesy commercial interpolations & when you do something sacrilegious to the sample but that’s up to taste too ig

Im trying but i listen to so much music,im not necessarily saying how things should be,im saying everything now feels half-assed compared to what was done in the past. The sampling thats done today,if i feel its mediocre,i just go back to the stuff i know is better.
