    Depends - are they making crazy paper off sampling you? If so, then I'd be hollerin "finders fee"

    That is the only reason to care.

    In that case, sure, why not? I mean, if they're a close friend, it's all love, right?

    I don't see a problem at all. I think this is pretty common even with people making money. You can't own every record, so people have to help each other out. Now if they are just total bums, but you wouldn't be hanging out with them in the first place then.

    Depends. I don't make beats and probably never will so I have never had a problem loaning friends records to sample. As long as they come back to me in good shape I'm easy. Now if the records takes off...

    Pete Rock's chihuahuas took a piss all over my Mexican moody's

    Seriously though I've done this for 2 different soulstrutters and I don't mind it. one of them hit me off with some rackords and the other one...he scares me too much so I let him do it so he won't beat me up with his conan wrist bracelets.

    i mean, it's all cool, but if the dude ends up being a leech or parasite, you best to send him to the dollar bins to find his own shit...



    dude should also buy you a dinner or two and let you fuck his wife (j/k)...



    peace.

    I enjoy letting friends who are into constructing the beats in on possible fodder. It might be a different story if I was way into it or it was my profession/vocation/passion. Otherwise, it's all out there anyway.

    If you want to do the dude a favor, then do it. If not, he'll just get em off limewire or soulseek

    Johnny,

    Remember that reggae-vibes track I left on your phone about a year ago? I got an extra.

    I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one.



    Watching someone drunk trying to make a beat with your sample = fun

    Watching someone stoned trying to make a beat with your sample = usually not fun

    A friend of mine did this! I didn't know that he wanted the tracks for sampling purposes, but it was all good. He is a much better producer than I am. I like his stuff. But I was totally pissed, when he gave samples of mine to popular German Hip Hop producers.

    I would feel different if he would have released tracks with my samples for puplic consumption. That'S what the hip hop producers did with my samples. ::sonned::
