What's wrong with sample-spotting again?

2. Some samples do not have New Orleans origins.
3. Soulja Boy "Crank Dat" > Gang Starr THE OWNERZ.
4. Sample spotting is a dead giveaway of unwillingness to accept the south's complete dominance over rap in the 2000's b/w NY rap is dead b/w you sound like you've never been in a southern rap club.
5. Havoc seemed kinda gay in that video.
That's not saying much.

a. I am better than you for I bought that record because it's awesome in its entirety.
b. I am better than you for I wasn't suckered into buying that album since beyond the said sample it's tepid.
c. I am better than you because I already owned that record before it was sampled and I just sold it to some newbie like you for 17 times what I originally paid for it.
d. I am better than you since I don't even like rap music and therefore samples are completely off my radar.
e. I am better then you because the internet says that I'm better than you...now deal.
I don't buy records because they have samples on them,
but I still like when I buy a record, play it, and find
out it has a sample on it. Happened to me just last week
when I finally got Sly's "A Whole New Thing" LP (which I
really should have owned years ago) and heard "Trip To
Your Heart" ... when that sample came on, I was like "HOLY SHIT!"
I had no idea that was his first record. 1967!!! Mad early. Must be at least semi- or it could be that 'reigonal thing'..
I have only ever seen 3 copies of this, 1 having a different cover. such a dope record too, probably my favorite Sly Stone piece..
Very hard to find the first cover in mint condition, but it was a bit of hit and had major label distribution so it is far from raer. Mostly turns up in rock collections from that era.
must be that regional thing then. I never see it anywhere. Which one is first, the black one with his face or that white one? I got the black one, and the cover is kinda murked, record's okay though.
I dare you to try and name one sample that does not have New Orleans origins.
Have you even heard Mardi Gras?
Exactly.
So what?
These days I'm really not that into buying records for just one tiny bit of sound that is familiar in rap music though, but if it has good music, and I like it, i buy it.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah but really, it's all a grey area.
I mean, would a newbie really buy a Sly and the family Stone LP solely because it has that "aww yeah" vocal grab from Public Enemy's 'party for your right to fight' on it? I mean, would they hate the rest of the record and then say to themselves, because this record has that one vocal sample, I have been persuaded to now buy this record.
Do you know what I'm saying? Finding a sample is usually gravy I reckon. Who would really just buy a record to hear one bit of music that has been sampled? You might like other stuff on it, or you might wanna use the break in production or DJ-related activities, or you might collect that artist or genre or label or whatever.
I'm just saying this is all a theoretical perspective - in real terms, I don't think people really only buy records because of a sample.
Do not hatt on my lowly $18 dollars. It is obscure_addict's world, I'm mearly trying to live in it.
Funny shit.
The king hater, cashes in on the sample craze.
I'll bet you were listening to one of your Dilla beat Cd's when
you realized he sampled Dionne right?
For shame crink!
Stealing the knowledge of the internets for your own financial gain.
Not everyone can spend $104,000 per year on records while
working in a position with an average median salary of under
$60,000 per year ... it takes hard work and a lot of lying.
The one you got is the OG. I have the 1970 one
That record is fucking incredible tho. Definitely one of my favorites of his.
Je*f, you hate kings?
what did royalty ever do to you?
are you a descendant of Anne Boleyn or something?
"You have selected regicide. If you know the name of the king or queen being murdered, press 1."
obscure_addict is the new Pap. Yeah, that just happened.
Shit, that cat ain't no BALLER
Or was it necro? Who cares...but one answer is: ASSHURT
I agree partly, but just ask yourself where James Brown would had been without the end 80s sample crazyness ???
I dont want to take anything away from him, just asking the question.
And James Brown is the role model for a lot of careers that where re-vitalised through sampling.
Ask David Axelrod, George Clinton, Bob James and so on.
Even HipHop artists now can live just of being sampled. Milk D is bragging & boasting about it since "I Get Money".
Those artists are not only living through the fresh publishing and royaltie money, they get new work too.
