Albini is such a sanctimonious tool. Heck, his rudimentary punk band even used a Roland TR-606 instead of a REAL drummer. What a dick. And half the bands he's produced did little more than slide a power chord up a guitar neck anyway. That's REALLY easy.
at 14:12 my man has book in the background and all of the people in this are smart...if any of the new trap dudes were in this they would be smoking weed accting the fool .....my point is I LOVE REAL HIP HOP
Good documentary. Even though some artists didn't get paid for their samples, they still got their music sampled. That's exposure. It's not like an artist that gets sampled completely loses out, like some of these lawyers are saying.
So what does this mean for a group like The Avalanches? Or if you don't know of The Avalanches, what about the more popular Girl Talk? What are the implications?
good documentary, this. I'd say that blatant sampling is usually a bad thing, while editting, cutting and processing samples is fair. E.g. cutting up breaks to give a new funky motherfuckin' groove. Oh, and it would be so much better if people acknowledged who they sampled from. That way, people who hear the new record and the sample are able to track down the sample's origination. Its sad how uptight some people can be over getting sampled. In a way it is a compliment; as their music was
good enough to use. On the other hand, we have people like Clyde Stubblefield. He's a really decent guy. As he stated, he 'didn't get a penny', yet he just laughs it off and views others using his god-damn-funkiness as being 'cool' (while other stinges try to fuck your record and oput you out of business). One last thing - Clyde suffered kidney failure in 2009, which is a real fucking shame, I'm not sure if he's had a transplant yet. Respect the man!
If I put Campbells tomato soup on a canvas to make a piece, do I owe them royalties? Am I not a "real painter" cause I don't use paints? This argument is all about money, period. Artistry has, and always will, come secondary.
Not to mention that sampling is at the forefront of music theory, the last album Miles Davis did was a hip hop album! Regardless of your opinion on his work, that man was always at the avant-garde of music.
bullshit!! bullshit !!bullshit!! your making and taking! money from musicians, instead of learning music, learning an instrument, and recording your own music, you are blatently stealing other peoples music and then making money from it, and thats why music and the music industry as we know it is bound to die that will be a sad day because so will heart and soul!!!!!!!! asholes!!!!!!!!!
@tyson1ize The music industry is dieing because of illegal downloading, not because of sampling. Furthermore, I play keyboard, and I also sample. I can say first hand from someone who does both, that sampling is more difficult than simply playing a jam on the keys. It is much more challenging to make it work with your other elements.
does anyone know where the horn riff at 46:42 comes from? It plays over Sgt. Peppers and has the same chord progression as Just by Radiohead! Also great doco, thanks for uploading it!
Foreal Fuck the record companys that sue over copyright , that shit makes music better. I can understand if maybe a MUSICIAN wants to sue but a company sueing is bullshit. ALSO, can you get sued for just using a sample on say a underground mixtape or can you only get sued if you use it & sell it for prophit?
as a guitar/bass/synthesizer player trying out sampling, I can honestly say, sampling makes those look easy, it actually requires skill and a shit ton of patience to create something incredible, it should be an artwork left alone...
Hiphop is the only music that was influenced by laws. I miss the 90s drumloop+sample beats. Most of that 808+synth stuff from today is just annoying. And: fuck that lawyer in the end, he'll burn in hell!
that lawyer fuck at the end has the most ridiculous analogy, likening sampling to breaking and entering a house to help yourself to a glass of milk.......
what puffy did in the 90s = obvious sample/looping border line theft.....well i guess you could say those "hits" where more like covers.....
what DJ Shadow did with Endtroducing =ART..!
sampling done creatively and with true originality should be legal......its time to change the laws
It went bananas when artists saw hip hop negro musik gaining popularity and sales.... so turtles sued de la ,...every judge did not understand the culture but the law of stealing songs instead of frequencies being use.... so thank you to all the labels and hungry greedy artist for trying to kill hip hop....
@PoliSciHipHop James Brown was well known for stiffing his artists when it came to payment...and then would put them through hell for it. Keep in mind, that's the primary reason why Bootsy Collins, Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker left James Brown for Parliament Funkadelic.
Just watch the documentary movie "zeitgeist moving forward" here on youtube. You'll see much better way for many points in people life, and spread the word that things are going to change
@ollieill: I think Metallica, Guns n Roses and Rick James, God rest his soul, make enough money without us paying them for tiny clips of there music blended into ours. They should take it as a compliment.
Why do people watch youtube videos and then talk shit about them. If you don't like sampling, why the hell were you watching this video in the first place. Personally, I love all genres of music. That is the beautiful thing about hip hop, I can blend all of these amazing styles of music into one.
This is an informative film especially for those who don't know about some of the landmark sampling albums, but it doesn't provide enough of the anti-sampling side or artists who were sampled and approve. Footage of James Brown and Rick James' opinions should have been included. I can remember Rick James was pretty cool with Hammer's success. Axl Rose, Metallica, George Harrison's opinions are needed so fans can see where they are coming from.
Everythin's a crime when we touch somethin? Learn history (gun laws, dope/alcohol, jobs (that's why they made unions), the numbers, and many more). Elvis, Rolling Stones, and America shoulda been charged for their crimes! What about The Winstons Amen Break? Did any one pay their estate? So called rock and roll was Chuck Berry. When we gone get paid for our families free labor? Like Public Enemy said the Anti-Nigger Machine. Israel's ours so why are we in America actin' so soft but bein' hard?
@HowlaRecords I agree YOUR people should be paid for free labor, but only the ones that actually did the work, not lazy people looking for the fastest handout!
