Song isn’t that bad

Hatin ass

Doesn't seem like he even used the melody that much

Lmaooo

yung bans invented

oh you a dumbass

This is actually well done tho

Rubin, Dre, Q-Tip and Jazzy Jeff all had recognizable samples when Diddy was just an Uptown Records employee

Rhyming over a basic sample is the backbone of hip hop

Lil tjay a goat

april fools is over

Ahhh yesssss

I’m not anti sampling at all
Sampling is incredible

I’m anti the nostalgia farming and lazy sampling of incredibly popular songs to create some base level of recognition for the listener
It’s just detrimental to creativity

the worst

highkey

It’s not “debating history” if you know what your point is. It’s one thing to say that Diddy made a career out of flipping samples into mainstream hits, but it’s a complete other to say he is the genesis of it. Tons folks even other than the one I mentioned had tons of hits based on nostalgic sampling.

A lot of breakout rap hits were literally that lmao

I’m agree with you to a point but saying it’s a “trend” is just wrong

I guess it’s easier to just shut down a conversation then admit your moving goal posts

Whats your favorite song of wick city?

NY niggas been ass for years this is nothing new

Hip Hop before Diddy used sampled in a creative way barely recognizable way (chopped, slowed, background noise, etc) and a lot of samples were lesser known songs

Jackson 5, Kool and the Gang, O’Jays, Rick James and Queen are “lesser known”? These samples are “barely recognizable”?
