Sample Snitching - did the term start here?!
kicks79 said:Nice to see you back O'Dub.
I co-sign on the DJ Premier angle. That was the first time I heard someone openly discuss sample snitching. So 98 right?
My guess is that folks were using the term prior to that but it's hard to imagine a more public forum to introduce the term than how Premier did it.
As I'm often reminded: the UBB series could have sparked off a very similar debate at some point in time, way earlier. But part of the problem is that unless it's a phrase written down in some kind of archived source, finding an "original" source for the phrase will always be fuzzy.

Sample Snitching - did the term start here?!
Hey everyone, it's been a minute.
I'm working on a possible paper on the ethics of "sample snitching" and as part of the research into this, I was trying to locate where/when the term first came into use.
And lo and behold, as I was digging around, one of the earliest mentions I could find brought me back here, March 2006: https://community.soulstrut.com/discussion/17670/
I found another mention of the term on the Gearspace forums, also from 2006, but not until May (and I seriously wonder if that person was all on Strut): https://gearspace.com/board/rap-hip-hop-engineering-and-production/58615-j-dilla-drums.html
Personally, I assume the term existed earlier than 2006; after all, Blaine Armstred's original Rap Sample FAQ (which WhoSampled 100% took from) dates back to frickin' USENET groups from 1994. But nonetheless, I'd love to find earlier uses of the term on the off chance that anyone here has suggestions on where to search.
(On Strut, it doesn't exist earlier than 2006 from what I can tell, using the search engine.)
Thanks fam!

Soul Strut 25. This is the End.
Wanted to chime in my appreciation for everything that Soulstrut gave me and others when it launched. Even though I've been incognito for years now, this site was a vital part of my record education back in the day. S/o to Raj and all the Strutters over the years.
Most of all, I will miss the graemlins.

FUNKYOU! ON EBAY
RAJ said:Just heard about this the other day, figured folks on Strut would have heard too. Pretty shocking since he was only 42.
As I think the Strut archives suggest, Jason was a pioneer when it came to the eBay selling game with soul/funk in particular. RIP.
