Of course. It's never gonna be all grown up, but I think that there is a significant change in style, and audience range that takes palce when samplers come into the game.
You'd would say its entirely the sampler? What about videos? What about Drug Money? What about Industry acceptance? To chalk the game up to Hip Hop after/before samplers is too simplistic to me.
Its funny that during the sampling heyday, turntablism became very pronounced.

Right, all that stuff contributes to change, but I think the effects of sampling are more deeply rooted. The music in videos is sample-based, or takes cues from the style of sample-based hip hop, drug money raps are spit over sampled beats, et cetera. In the end, you can't take any piece of the history of hip hop out and expect it to stay the same. I'm just particularly interested in how sampling plays into that.
jesus, after reading this i want the last half hour of my life back...
dude played a beat live on a mpc and did it pretty well. however, it was just a bunch of drums sounds on different keypads tapped out to make a solid drum beat. so, in essence his sampler just became a drum machine and people have been tapping out beats on drum machines live since the invention of the drum machine. nothing new at all. nothing that pushes the boundries of music. big effing deal.

The extended loc length is clutch because it displays the comma that follows the word 'period'.
