Soul Strut

<blockquote> <blockquote>This kind of goes back to the Black Eyed Peas / Stark Reality discussion we were talking about. If one of our fellow Soulstrutters is sampling Stark Reality, nobody really complains. It would probably be seen as a sign of good musical taste and a respectful nod to Monty & Co. When someone like Black Eyed Peas sample them, it's considered biting and angry fingers are pointed. If one of our fellow Soulstrutters bites a Minor Threat album cover for their mix CD cover, nobody would really complain. It would probably be seen as a sign of good musical taste and a respectful nod to MacKaye & Co. When someone like Nike bites it, it's considered a travesty. So when is OK to sample something and when is it not OK? How big or popular do you have to be before sampling or biting someone's art becomes a sort of "crossing a line?" Thoughts? </blockquote>It's like being straight edge and having some drunk dickwipe tell you, "I totally understand where you're coming from." </blockquote> **Checking mental rolodex to see if I said that to Bam at my birthday party...
