Alright, here are my thoughts on sampling:
I like music that sounds like real life. Not some sterile, shiny, overblown T-Pain bullsh*t. Sampled music is dusty, soulful, it's weird...it just sounds more organic – like real life. I mean c'mon, despite what the radio would have us believe, not everyone drinks cristal and grinds on fat asses all day long. That sh*t is fake as ****. I think people need to wake up to that, but that's another issue.
Also, sorry, but to whoever said "loops aren't creative" you're wrong. The beats of the highest caliber are loops. The challenge is having an ear that can recognize 6-12 second of gold from 30 minutes of vinyl. Not many people do, so there are a lot of mediocre looped beats. If you chop samples then you can pretty much take any old sound and chop it and replay it to your delight. But with loops, you can only sample certain ish, and all the elements have to be just right. And the loops will obviously sound better because it's played by an actual band and it's chopped to pieces.
