[SkyCity009]

@vidform yes yes, of course respect is due to everyone involved in creating beautiful especially the one who originally created it himself, Lamont Dozier

[nialldcrowley]

@specsmenace Thanks. Yes you're probably right. I'm just tired of viewing great tunes on YT and seeing the threads all about how someone made a great sample. It's frustrating that contemporary music is so derivative and not bringing much that is new to the table, despite a wealth of technological advantages that previous generations didn't have.

I'll try and take a deep breath next time I read a similar thread.

[nialldcrowley]

@specsmenace There are plenty of ways to find good music like this without having to listen to samples by talentless hip hop folk who have to rely on other people with talent to get their ideas.

@nialldcrowley how? in this decade, i mostly go through my dads/moms records, but lots and lots of the music i love the most are songs i've found through sampling. how are there "plenty of ways" to find 60-70s music for kids growing up these days? it's not getting any other promotion than through sampling. personally i prefer the older originals myself, but bashing hip hop in that sense is just plain stupid if you pretend to know stuff about music. you'd know better than that.

[nialldcrowley]

@Silenzius For a start, most old soul and jazz-funk is on CD, on the internet, iTunes and of course, on YouTube. When I discovered this music as a teenager (I would have been about six years-old when this came out), it wasn't even out on CD. If your generations is learning to love this music (great news) then why are most of the comments about the samples than the original songs? Finally, I don't care about sampling or copying if people learn from doing it how to make great music...

[Silenzius]

@nialldcrowley i'm just saying, if you were six years old when this came out it had some if not great popularity somehow since it was new. if i as a teenager were to buy a record of old soul/jazz/funk today, how would i know what to look for? i listen to a lot of music, and check out everything i can find but it takes a great amount of time to come by some greats because i don't know what to look for in the first place. some of my fav artist are artist i found through sampling, so it's promoting

[Silenzius]

@nialldcrowley and people are just simple minded i guess. although i produce some stuff, i only listen to music that my age have no clue about. i'm an old mind in a young body perhaps, but i don't see how people can miss such beauty as in the originals that are sampled. this has been in my playlist for months and i'd rather have the good old songs than whatever people are chewing gum and bobbing their heads to today

[nialldcrowley]

Fantastic tune by one of the greatest singer-songwriters of the last 50 years. Depressing to learn that the sampling vultures have been at it though.

[docbaddoc]

although he's not the most lyrical person in the world Slim thug sampled this song and it wasnt bad!!!!

[nialldcrowley]

@docbaddoc And do you actually have an opinion on Lamont Dozier and HIS song?

[docbaddoc]

@nialldcrowley no 

[HipHopiz4Real]

Inspectah Deck also sampled this. check out "All I want is mine"

@ ronaldartwell : if you crave

instrumentation paired with HIPHOP to create " intricate melodic bodies of work'' pls check out THE ROOTS, and by the way The Roots crew have been" taking music to a higher level" from day one. . . which BTW started about 20 yrs ago . = )

[jimidre71]

funky maaan very funky............

[travlrstone]

@ronaldartwell listen to the Justice League. they play alot of their stuff. if they do sample they either recreate it in a distinct way or incorporate the sample and play over it.

[KPrime05]

@travlrstone and of course steal other folks ideas while in the process.

[BOPZINK]

@KPrime05 :

you mean like Led Zep , the Rolling Stones and Elvis stole music riight ?! ; )

[KPrime05]

@BOPZINK of course, It's the american way!

[BOPZINK]

@KPrime05

and that's what's up . . . ! LMAO .

[KPrime05]

@BOPZINK I bet you were expecting me to argue with you on that point, I'm well aware of your boy elvis robbing folks of their musical ideas. It's practices such as those that are still going on in this day and age.

[BOPZINK]

@KPrime05

well I really wasn't looking for you argue with the statement I made because it's a known fact where the early rock acts got their mojo from and yes your totally right about hip hop kids pretty much doing the same thing in return. Sampling is indeed a fine art within it's self that many have yet to master.

[nicechomiq]

Also used on Deck's "All I want is mine"

[ronaldartwell]

I wish hip hop producers of today could play instruments and create intricate melodic bodies of work, like Lamont Dozier. Combine that with their production skills using new technology, and they very well "could" take music to a higher level.

[gravesg]

@ronaldartwell they do .. he's called Bink! .... youtube the phrase champain in the studio with bink .... watch part 3 ... your welcome
