Some hip/hop and RnB classics should not be sampled. At least not now, wait a lil. Your lauryn Hill sample just makes me sad bro, you ruining her song. Now i just wanna listen to the original insead of this s***.

Lauryn was just an example, this s*** is everywhere

drake did it the best nice for what a classic

Ain’t a hot take but i agree.

if you need to sample a classic to make a banger beat you suck. Only exception is if you sample a different genre

same with certain songs being covered i remember when people kept doing lost frank ocean covers not realising the whole point of the f***ing song. jorja smith khalid etc doing proper overly serious up their own ass covers taking the bite out of the song without the bouncy instrumental a bunch of muted f***ing keys give me a f***ing break

I wouldn’t even say all that but sampling Lauryn has been run into the ground for sure. I don’t even wanna hear her music anymore lol

current lazy sampling trend going to lead right into AI made/licensed beats. they going to be super cheap rappers will take them like candies

I mean if it’s done right then it could make the song even better imo

On that note please stop sampling pop songs like a thousand miles, I’m talking to every nyc drill or Jacksonville rapper, yall ruining classics everytime

Well he didn’t need to

a lot of these new producers forgot the point of sample digging. you're supposed to find some rare s*** that nobody will recognize.

they be sampling a old throwback party song and try and it it their own party song which is embarrassing to play over the original …

The thing is the younger generation do not care. They don't have the same nostalgia/connection for the songs that we do

I don't care how you make the music just make it good.

The producers still doing this s*** right do continue to crate dig and surprise their listeners. I'll never get tired of hearing a great sample that I don't recognize, it's one of the best things about being a hip hop fan.

same with nina simone

Fans of 60s and 70s soul probably said the same when rap first started really doing this s***

I mean we know how Chaka Khan feels about Through The Wire lol

Top 10 Drake song for sure

the dead presidents sample should be left alone forever. let it be jay z’s find a new one

I think all of the sample takes are funny because this site completely glosses over how many huge songs Kanye sampled.

None of these new songs even come close to s*** like through the wire tho its all dog s***.
