Lil Wayne - Help

Help by Lil wayne, Copy of the hit beetles Track

Update 5/23/10
Look to everyone that hates/loves this video I thank you for watching it!!

But to my friends that hate this video
Please just keep it moving.
No one is holding a gun to your head making you listen to this

Many people have left good comments discussing the concept of sampling and how it relates to old music.

Look
1. Nothing is above a sample
Music is music
The Beatles are not above lil wayne
and wayne is not above the Beatles
its is all equal
also to think that the beatles are sacred or holy. \
is wrong
and that to think that some how there material is sacred or holy.
is wrong
and to think that is wrong to do anything with there material
is wrong

By lil wayne flowing over the Beatles dose not destroy or forever change the original song

the Original is still there
it is not gone
You can still buy it at the store
and you can still play it at home
and no one is going to force you to get rid of it
or buy it again

look this is the digital age.
we have all the OG copys of everything on the internet
or even on OG LP;s

so calm down


2. Sampling is not wrong
would you tell people that they cant take anything from any song period????
Well you better copyright notes and cords, cuz people copy all the time

Musicians throwout history listen to other musicians and get inspired

and look if you think sampling is bad
than you must think that covering is terrible

Cuz at least with a sample you take the original and manipulate it to suite your needs. or to make it sound the way you want to

whereas with a cover you sing another persons song word for word.
not much is changed

that is more of a copy and paste than sampling
and more bitch made than sampling



But the beetles have covered tons of songs over the years

you gunna ride they dick over that?????


MY point being that I think that sampling is more honorable that covers

But it is all ok
Music is music
ITs all good

neither are bad in my book

Weezy probably looks up to the Beatles
thats why he sampled them

the Beatles looked up to Elvis
its all relative


SO please enjoy the music
and education one self before speaking

Because words are powerful
they can create and they can destroy

@beatlesfreak329 Jesus man. The Beatles arent fucking sacred. Its called sampling. He took 9 words from their song, remixed them to a different beat, and sang over it. Get out of the '60s. People can freely remix whatever the hell they want. Dont like it? Dont listen to it, and stop bitching over your precious "revolutionary" music being altered.

This was my favorite AND I'VE FINALLY FOUND IT THANK GOD

[suzieque469]

No

[kickflipsk8ter456]

this is legit and believe it or not but by saying his song is awful u are a hater if its bad dont watch it.

[livy36916]

Okay, I listened to the whole thing, and it's (in my opinion) awful. I'm not hating on Lil Wayne or anything, but he could have done better. I'm a Beatles fan, but I could care less that Lil Wayne used it, I agree with AppleCorp3. The rapping is awesome, but together with the music it's awful. It's giving me a headache. :/

[taaaylor1234]

you honestly spelled "The Beatles" wrong? and sampling is fine. it can be brilliant, but most of the time it's annoying. and this is a prime example.

[SexyVistaNerd]

@Jpach33 How about you shut the fuck up and just let people reminisce about their music. No one wins on the internet dude, no use bitching about it.

[AppleCorp3]

I found this a bit boring and repetitive and wished he'd incorporated more of the song. That being said, I think this type of thing is awesome. This doesn't harm the Beatles in anyway, in fact it only increases their status as legends. At the very least it gets someone interested in hearing the original after it's been sampled. I think even McCartney came out in support of the Grey Album from a few years back. So, good for Lil Wayne here!

[coffeechops]

I don't think people have a problem with this song being sampled - it's just that this remix is textbook horrible. I can almost guarantee that if this were the same song with another artist's name on it, people wouldn't like it because it sounds like it was created by some bored kid with a mac book.

I guess most artists have some songs that they just royally fuck up on, and this is one of his. I'm not saying he's not talented, but to think that this mix is good would be idiotic.

[dadeeo44]

The Beatles have been my absolute favorite band since the late 70's (when they were generally considered out of style) But I like to hear others cover the songs I love. Most I like, some not so much. Wayne is a prolific fucking genius, and this song is COOL!
