this sucks! should i do it anyways?

[Cold Truth]

well i was searching through the entire marvin gaye catalog ( i have raphsody and access to a massive amount of music for free) and found an ill sample to use ubt it sounded real familiar and then i realized it was the same sample 9th wonder used for the "thugs mansion" remix.

its such a dope sample, and i want to use other parts of it as well but the main riff i want is the "oooohhhhhhhhh" part from the beginning.

so what do you guys think, should i do it anyways? or should i pass it up?

 

[MIKELABZ]

I HEARD THAT AS LONG AS YOU DO 5 THINGS TO CHANGE THE SAMPLE THEY CANT HOLD YOU FROM USING IT AGAIN.

 

[Cold Truth]

huh? i'm lost... who cant hold me? the label? or 9th wonder? and what are these five things?

i really wasnt thinking in legal terms.... just..... it was used recently and i dont exactly want to come off as a biter, so i was wondering, what do yall think of that?

 

[Formant024]

Word just do it, I sampled the drumroll ( which pretty much the only useable drums in it ) from trouble man at the beginning, nobody recognises it anyway. I also sample a lot like that, certainly do it, just be original in terms of use. Good samples from known artist will be commonly used or have been used already but as far as blaxploitation material goes there's endless sampling material.

I would use it anyways, as long as your not gunna make money off the track. Do what ya gotta do to make your track hott.

Peace

Fuck that. Once I know a sample has been used already I stop dead in my tracks. That's just me though. You do you.

 

[StressWon]

Use it, just make it better then the original used, besides,,,,your not sellin' it world wide right? All ya really gotta do is get some MC's on it that are superior to the original cats on it. Now thats where ya gonna have a hard time,,,,

 

[eka]

I would use it.
I once made a track with a sample of the incredible bongo band wich premier used for grouphome.
everybody told me I flipped it better so...... go for it.

 

[DJ Reflex]

Yeah man go for it! what stuff of marvin's isnt used know wot i mean? incredible bongo band has been used more time than anyone cud imagine starting way back with Grandmaster Flash the DJ shadow! Look at Juicy Fruit, its been used hundreds of times, hell! BIG never did a dang thing to it! all he did was use the instrumental and spit on it and its one of the dopest tracks of all time! Go for it!

 

[hookiefree]

damn near every old school song ever made has been sampled at least once. fuck 9th wonder just make sure ur's is better.

 

[MIKELABZ]

WELL IF YOU WERE THINK ON LEGAL TERMS REFER TO MY LAST POST. IF YOU WERE THINKING ON PERSONAL TERMS. I SAY GO AHEAD AND DO A NEW BEAT IT WONT HURT. IT'LL BE A LEARNING EXPERIENCE AND THEN AFTER YOUR DONE YOU WILL HAVE A TRACK TO COMPARE IT AGAINST.

 

[Ash Holmz]

just do it..if anything else its a another good productionunder ur belt.. evry popular soul singer has been flipped numerous times anyways

 

[Streetwize]

WELL IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT. AFTER U CHANGE A SAMPLE 5 TIMES IT BECOMES UNRECOGNIZABLE IF: YOU FLIP IT, YOU CHOP IT, YOU CUT FREQUENCIES, YOU ADD REVERB, YOU OVERLAP IT.

SO IN THEORY IT IS CORRECT.

It's like like snowflakes... no two cats do it EXACTLY alike. So do your thing homie.
