Now, if you are talking about jacking "sounds" as in drums or a note or something other than a pattern, what the hell difference does it make where you get it if you are making something different?
Now if want to touch on the drum issue....Yeah yer right. But, thats when things get particular and you have to recognize this is my personal view on sampling, not everyone elses in the entire world or somethin, but anyways....So u do sample a drum hit. OK. Well whats the drum sound like? Is it some shit that i wouldnt be able to identify automatically, like "some ordinary sounds off a sample disc or a drum machine", or is it just something that could be anywhere?...Cuz i mean, theres all kinds a little shit that comes into play like that. Or say i took the snare from shynes beat and you would automatically notice it cuz it was distinct, or say i sampled a whole kit of sounds outa Blood Sweat and Tears...I guarentee that that kit sounds nothin like 90% percent of the drum tracks you here nowadays, hence making it an original sounding lift from a record. Now if i went and sampled that too just like the shyne snare, to me - that shits mad recognizeable cuz someone else already made that sound significant in a way that the original source didnt even use it. That in comparison with just some ordinary sound that is in like any fucking rap song any day is a whole nuther story to me, even if u did lift it somewhere cuz where the originallity??? Thats the point dog.
if you are going to sample, no matter in what form that you do it, you have no right to get upset when someone samples your shit.
Yo I was never was even talkin bout being mad at cats for samplin my shit, but as the story goes....I obviously got my own rule-set that everyone officially hates me for now on Ill, and thats fine....But if I have someone sample me, that can be fine and then it can be very fucking homosexual at the same time. Why???....Thats simple....All sources are different, theres tons a shit out there thats not just samples cut by the original beat maker, ..........theres sample cd's, stock kits, and a slew of others that are just nonnsense to get bent about becuase mad people already have that shit at there fingertips.
SO....If it were, say my BST kit that i carefully cut myself and set to my liking and used in a beat of mine, and then another beatmaker sampled my kick, or whatever it is - i wouldnt have a fit about it, but I definitely would feel that your a wack beatmaker for not gettin the "special" sounds yerself....Its all particular. I mean, if it was a Lil Jon kick its just not the same....all that guy uses is 808s...theres not a special attachement to those sounds, they come with the drum machine for fucks sake!
But thats why i tell cats that ima "music dick", cuz im mad particular about my likes and dislikes.
And thats just me, i mean, seems like its a 50/50 ballpark here so i cant call it...and these are just my views expressed through me, but learned from older shit that taught me that way.....Im not one to say its right, but i also just dont respect it if it aint ORIGINAL....I mean, we could go in circles about orginality cuz samples are this and that, and your already unorignal to alota beatmakers that dont sample cuz you arent writin yer own shit, but whats the point of goin beyond the initial idea of the thread?
If anything, i totally admit whole heartedly that in the end it really doesnt matter, someones gonna sample u anyways....But that dont mean i should loose my ethics for sampling all over that!....Im still gonna personnaly put in the work that the original producer did to get to a equal platough. Like i said, i just dont feel its the same.
