Maybe not new but it seems to be happaning more often these days.

After over 25 years of hip-hop music there are fewer and fewer samples that haven't been touched. Using a rare sample happens less and less.

Example....

the one blood joint by game was done by RZA one the W

the new hov joint was done by Rass Kass

The isley brothers joint used for biggie then more recently jim jones and the gwen stephanie. etc etc

Anyway is the trend that it is acceptable to re-use samples as long as the joint is hot.

I think if it was done by the producer/beatmaker without knowing then it's kind of ok.. If you know about previous use and just try to redo it "better" then release it, that is kind of frail.

Opinions???????????????
