I searched, so sorry if its a repost. I'm sure some people's opinions will vary from the authors, but an interesting way to waste some time nonetheless:b, 21b, 21http://audiotuts.com/web-roundups/8-most-overused-samples-in-hip-hop-history//a1

    I've been reading that (in one form or another) for the past 15+... Was that written on Oct 2nd of this year?b, 21b, 21put that topic in the List Of Bald Glasses-Wearing College Smartie Faux-Irreverent Lists That Catapult The Author To The NEXT_LEVEL (as called by said author), along with:b, 21b, 21Vinyl is Dead article.b, 21Jay-Z As Best Rapper Alive article.b, 21Internet Catapults Bedroom Producers to Stardom article.b, 21MP3 Revolution and OverCompression Killing Music article.b, 21b, 21f the internet...sometimes...b, 21b, 21and yes, F the Capitalizing Made-Up Lists Schtick too, I know...

  • I actually would like to see these used more often and it is kind of refreshing to hear some of these used in the current landscape... Especially being flipped in new and interesting ways.

    This was an offensively bad piece of writing. For one thing, it could have been written ten years ago, fifteen even - he's talking about "most overused" and I'm thinking, "when's the last time someone flipped 'Papa Was Too'?"b, 21b, 21Second of all..."Ashely's Roachclip"? Really? Isn't the fact that he could only list about three songs evidence that it actually has NOT been used so much? b, 21b, 21And third: I don't see how any rational argument can be made for NOT including "Funky Drummer" as the most overused sample of all time, just based on, you know, actual quantity.
