Are samples getting lazier today?

[dodge]

the most popular songs from the jiggy era (96-2001-ish) were copy and paste samples tho

Facts….the P Diddy era

 

[dodge]

Not exactly....alot samples back then were more creative....this shit here is copy and paste

Early 90’s was the golden age of sampling genius

And early 00’s

Truthfully mid 2010’s were creative too it was just met with poor lyrics

I’d rather they do it than someone else

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

Sit on youtube and look up some old ish. That's what I did. Came across some . Phyllis Hyman, Pennye Ford, Angela bowfield all had some heat and the original songs were dope.
Gotta do your own research

I've been complaining about this since the Bad Boy days, but it definitely feels exponentially worse nowadays. There's no creativity to the sampling. Mfs are taking shit that's been used 1000 times already. Sampling shit that was already a hit back in the day. I haven't made beats in quite some time, but I always used to love to sample old, obscure shit, international shit...chop up instrumentals and re-play it to add my own flavor...etc. I liked sampling shit that a person would have to do their own digging to even find where I got it from. Nowadays it's like these producers aren't even looking for new shit to sample like there's not new, original music being created in other genres.

He ain't lying, but at the same time this is coming from a nigga who is more likely to be found in a random foreign nation frolicking with a flute like a pied piper than in a booth trying to actually make some good music. So his idea of art in music might not line up with the average person's.

That’s why I have only listened to Kendrick “diss” once, that lazy ass sample pisses me off

 

[SeaSnake]

Most annoying sample

 

[Nah Son]

They are but its not only in hip hop, shit the majority of mainstream music is covers of pop songs from about 20 years ago

I dont listen to the radio often but whenever I do every other song is a copy of a song from the early 2000s
