Most of the time I sample individual chords off of whatever or run shit through a wavetable synth. At the end of the day the sound that I create off of a sample barely has anything to do with the original sound anymore. The sample is just a base wave I use to create my sound, much like your typical sawtooth on whatever synth you play. So I don't see how sampling is "stealing" given I could easily play the chords myself if I chose to.
To me it's only "stealing" when when you literally sample 8 bars, loop em, put a drum and snare underneath and then brag about it being your song. Not that rappin on loops is stealing in my eyes... it's more the act of being dishonest about it. Just call it a cover and it's all good.
