What's The Difference Between Dre & Charles?

[Daftendirektour]

you dont have to do shit to the sample to sample...

sampling is an art, ya'll dont fucking understand.

[FrickenSick]

COOL STORY!

[90guy900]

all dre did was slow it down and add some drums

[KennyBfromQueens]

@90guy900 Yeh crazy huh. Listen to the original sample of ''C.R.E.A.M'' by the Wu. Rza did basically nothing to that sample and made a hip hop classic.

[dowseyuk]

There is plenty of sampled material out there in hip hop. The next episode is also sampled. Tune.

[bon3thug5nharm0ny]

sampling is part of the art its not that its copied or that rap is biting off its just a way to get something that is already something good, and just add that hip hop flavor to it. those who call it copying are just totally ignorant about this art

[EfendievKarim]

nothing

[Doumso]

mdrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!! looooooooollllllllll

[Alltimeboxing]

Dr. Charles

[Naclement1]

@Alltimeboxing lol

[robmh3]

There would probably be a bigger difference if you actually used Dre's version.

[THEOFIRE99]

i love hip hop rap beats but they are almost all copied

[rahulinho]

yep theres a lot of sampling in hip hop, dre just uses samples and really makes it into a different song and uses his samples really good so I can respect that, its a vision you have, he has produced much without samples as of lately also so he is a producer that can create beutiful crazy music without samples, so dre all day

[MajinVegeta989]

this is what almost all rappers do..

[thedexterbros]

this was sampled in a blue cantrell song that featured Sean Paul, i can't remember the name

[klotweev]

It's called "Breath"

[RickRomo]

I think all Dre Did was slow down the tempo a few BPM's without altering the pitch and then added his drums behind it... Pretty Simple actually.. He probably knocked the beat out in less then an hour... Chopping up and arranging the sample and all...

[impatientp]

@RickRomo dont forget the amazing synth lines

[NickTRecordz]

yea sampling has always been very common in rap and hip hop, so many tracks out there that u dont even realise have samples in them

[43GC]

I doubt that there is any hip hop tracks that were just made original from thoughts...I bet if you dig deep enough you can find a track that each song was sampled from. "MY OPINION"

[CmdrTobs]

Yeah, an awful lot of music is like that very few original bands.

[Teph87]

hip hop from the 80s was more or less original beats

though there was alot of disco songs sampled at first,

then the next big leap was sampling electro

now they pretty much sample everything

[impatientp]

@43GC thats just not true, you're obviously not looking in the right places

[djtee2k7]

@43GC Clearly not, there's a massive amount of songs that were produced originally and electronically, ayo technology for instance is an easy one to spot. If you hear real instruments etc it's almost definitely samples, if not its probably produced electronically, a lot of the brass and orchestral noises now also come from vsts like trillion or hypersonic too :)

[43GC]

@djtee2k7 I said Hip Hop...

[djtee2k7]

@43GC and I said what I said

[43GC]

@djtee2k7 and I said what I said...,basically you cosigned with me on most real hip hop tracks are sampled...and ayo technology is not hip hop if you think it is you're mistaken

[djtee2k7]

@43GC sorry? I don't think you get to decide what "real hip hop" is and isn't. I don't even slightly like ayo technology, do tell me what it is? I don't want any smarmy comments either like "its garbage" or "Pop"

[43GC]

@djtee2k7 lol does have more of a pop feel to it...like N'sync rap

[jj4319]

@43GC There's no doubt about it that Sampling is a big part of the musical culture of Hip Hop, but that statement is hardly true. Either way, what does it matter if it was originally thought up or not? How original are those thoughts? If you think about it, nothing truly is original. What matters more is the production of something unique.

[skinnylegzzz]

The thing with Dre is that he doesn't sample in the traditional way, he (and his musicians) kind of re-record it by playing the sample himself =)

[speckyben]

yeh thats true he re-records all the samples he uses and he is one of the few producers who uses live instruments when recording, thats why his instrumentals sound like nothing else

[Thitoss]

Sampling is very important in hip hop music. If you look on different hip hop albums on Wikipedia or in Whosampled ( . ) com, you can see that sampling is very popular an normal in hip hop music.

[KillaBeesOnDaSwarm]

crack a bottle is also sampled from a french singer: Mike Brant..

btw Charles Aznavour is a very open minded guy, he said like: if i like what a producer made from my song, i let him use the sample for free..

he's a real artist

[zebbedi]

The samples come from all kinds of sources but like you were referring to its a case of 'the rarer the better' for obvious reasons.

[zebbedi]

He has to admit it every time for legal reasons. Nothing wrong with it because everybody does it.

[ManThatSeesMovies]

it's the first 4-5 seconds that he samples, and it's a song from the 60's that's not played on the radio at all. It's completely different, and just brings more attention to it also.

[mouila]

It's played here in France and Sir Aznavour is very appreciated by the Hip Hop industry.

[nurzumspass]

Sickest sampling I saw so far, was "Smack my bitch up" by Prodigy! Look it up, there's a video about that here on youtube.

[DaveBeatz]

i read somewere that dre doesnt directly sample songs, but hires musicians to re-play the parts he wants and records that instead. Whats the difference by DRE is a sick tune with a dope beat and we gotta respect the original song he got the inspiration from

[evilma66ot]

He sampled it like he sampled David Axelrod - THE EDGE.

[Brotha633]

you mean dave mcallum

[zebbedi]

David McAllum?

[zack95]

wtf ?

[BdAdtkSS13]

look it up he smpled the beat from this

[VERS626]

Wow...speachless

[fuschnick99]

look every great producer samples the shit out of everything premo, dilla, dre cmon it takes skill to put it together thats y im not rich cuz i aint that good at it

[Corrupt140]

wtf man dres song is completely different, yeh maybe he was inspired by this or used the melody as a starting point but they are 2 very different songs

[getoffmybozack]

Dr. Dre can hardly make a hit without sampling the shit out of an old song anyways. Well the guy's got talent at doing it, but that doesn't warrant the praise he's getting imo.

[dick391]

Whats the difference?

5 bank accounts, 3 ounces and 2 Vehicles

[bowlofwater]

i guess who ever marked u down didnt get your comment

[stillsettinit]

HAHAHAHAA!!! best answer ever!

[reijerke]

Well for instance Dre has remastered the whole song and added some extra bass, horns and synths to it. And the lyrics of 'Whats the difference' are a little bit better than 'parce que tu crois'. And yeah you can always start at the penis.

[iai400]

This isn't a joke fool

[glasspig]

the synth whistle thing that dre put in, in the hook was tight though

[skaterdude14b]

yeah its a sample, but somewhat, its still hot as shit.  it does make me question what if any hot raps songs are original melodies.

[Eazyseph]

what's the difference between em? heh

you can start at the penis

[The1Goodwin]

@Eazyseph fuckin genius

[Vitilsky]

@Eazyseph hahaha funny omg you said penis, and dre omg haha funny its so funny hhaaha

[JayPirat]

Charles Aznavour stole it!

[benzoin1]

dre is one of the best, but i hope this is a joke

[mouila]

Are u sick? Chalres Aznavour wrote that song in 1965!!!

[meet7sos]

great loop . dr dre is a genius

[Scotlank]

Dre slows it down and Dre makes it better. Simple. Done.

[snowdjagha]

its not a matter of "doing it better"... thats two different kinds of making music! one is mkaing music from the scracth and other is remaking, deconstructing other songs to produce a new song. aznavour (or his producers) made this piece of art! dre knew how to revive it and refresh it! not trying to shit on you man, just showin my point of view.

[goldengod90]

its all about the universal love and flow of music

[nofxfan6368]

Aznavour's nickname is Aznovoice... Could fit for Dre too =)

[snowdjagha]

FUCK THIS!! always trying to shit on artists faces!! FUCK YOU ALL! sampling is an art man! trying to find pieces os music that fits good in a hip hop sample isnt easy... and one more thing, dre credited charles on 2001 album!

[REALGANGSTADOLLAZ]

ur right, i reckon sampling is also good cuz its like making a classic tune better and updated

[blackmanta128]

yu da man speak up!!!!

[Gumah89]

sampling is for lazy ass licking shits. If there was no music before hip hop dr dre, dj premier kayne west and other bitchies would be homeless now so plz cry.

sampling = no talent

[snowdjagha]

fuck off!

[karlosdre]

not bein funny it is actuly quite clever how they manage to make it more modern and appeal to the audiences of today and not yesterdays

[trilobug]

Its music...give it a fucking rest guys.

If you argue about whos better or who did what first you are missing the point.

Sometimes I just wanna leave Earth.

[offbdway]

HOLY! A rapper sampled a section of another song....oh wait..sampling is one of the earliest and most well known aspects of hip hop. Does Charles Aznavour rap?

[AyeDre]

People are so stupid...."sampling"

[japonczykiem]

lol title

[OrchidRose83]

I can't believe I never recognized that Charles Aznavour sample before... the same original song by Charles is used frequently on commercials for the sitcom "Samantha Who"!

Dre used the same beat in "Breathe" by Blu Cantrell in '03

[cisme]

What's the difference ;)

on the chronic 2001 ..

[bertrannnd]

She may be the face...

[funkg]

thats post-modernism for you. i love that way that hip-hop can totally reinvent somthing unrelated.

[creativemindsuk]

Charles was credited for it in the 2001 credits, so he would have given dre the go ahead to use it. It's just making both of 'em more money!

[DominikAlexander]

Lawsuit?

[drugg361]

hahahah lol

dummies , right

[mediumlarge]

its called sampling dummies

[hubdapimp]

c'est comme meme bien sympathique tout ca! Vive copy cat Dr Dre! Meci Charly!

[JazziMan90]

in the dre version its been made 4 semitones lower and made a lot slower

[JazziMan90]

reminds me of alton towers lol

[Caznavour]

too fuken funny - Dr stop jacking the beats from Azna

[youngromee]

fuck you
