Frankly, I'm sick of the notion that because you use loops in your beats you aren't talented. Or if you don't chop up your samples like minced garlic you can't be a real producer. I'm not here to give a history lesson or anything but MOST hiphop especially at the beginning of it all straight up used nothing but loops. But thats not the point. I know that every producer here has come across a sample that is so epic you just don't WANT to change the harmony...Or has so much potential on its own that you ALMOST don't want to sample it...But you do...and you love it. If not then you have probably taken a beat that could've sounded as epic as the original and chopped it into oblivion. And on behalf of those samples I shake my head at you solemnly. If you know about the music biz ppl who sample like this pay for their samples at the end and there is no love lost btw sampler and samplee if you do it right. And good music is good music. Don't take whole songs and call them your own but if the **** is great, give credit to the original creators and move along...please....and thank you...
