Are samples getting lazier today?

[5th Letter]

It seems like for the most part they just use old instrumentals and remix a few lines from the original song and call it a day. Most recently.

 

[Eyerone]

No because the exact same thing happened in the 90s and early 2000s.

That’s how I felt about Bound 2

Like damn he ain’t even throw no extra nothing on this

You want them to dig in the crates when there’s no record stores lol

They can't be lazier than when Bad Boy was basically just using instrumentals for beats.

They've definitely hit a new low, but it has been going on. When DJ Khaled was butchering shit all throughout the 2010s I just tuned out music altogether.

 

[Bed$tuy🇭🇹]

It's over!

Oh shit you right I forgot

 

[Mr.LV]

People are noticing the laziness with producers in today’s Rap music

Buy 'em at second hand shops. They usually sittin' on a grip of vinyl. I've started checking out other types of music for samples and finding some really interesting shit to flip. I just grab shit 5-10 at a time and check it out when I get to the crib. I always find something to fuck with no matter who I grab (even found a lil joint on an 80's Bob Denver album).

Word but how many current producers are going to do that ?

You act like YouTube don't exist. There's channels out there that literally feed these new boom bap producers. If I hear Conductor Williams take something I found ONE MORE TIME...

The cats like Alchemist, 9th Wonder, DJ Premier, Beatminerz, et al never stopped digging. The difference is now they're buying from the few record stores left in existence, thrift shops, and yard sales. I got my copes of Shaft and Songs In The Key of Life at a yard sale for $1 each.

Word but I’m talking about the vast majority of producers and the mainstream ones that are under hmmm…40 years old
