@djdreamproductions: i get that...but don't you see (with all due clarity) that piggybacking off old music is not the permanent answer to the creation of music for the rest of our lives? If it weren't for those artists who had the gift of playing instruments (& singing), you and many other people would be left with only cans and sticks to beat them...on 2nd thought, make that electronic equipment to SIMULATE music. Paying homage to past music can't be used as an excuse...(still piggybacking)

@btinsley1 any beatmaker knows of the infinite tracks that could be produced off of sampling just ONE song. Ive been sampling for years, and i honeslty dont think that we could EVER run out of material. I use an MPC 2000xl, and i very much consider it to be an instrument. Filtering and chopping and changing the pitch of each note can create a never ending supply of material to use. plus with software now, people are sampling the tiniest part of a song, and then adding original notes to it.

@djdreamproductions: no, no, nooo! that is not what I meant regarding what those two love in a given track. i am saying what they loved in a particular track was clearly the level of skill that made it a groove they felt could be used. There is dwindling skill as we are using the sampling method to guide our future. We need to begin learning to play instruments...case & point. get it? think about that... ponder this as well, as i said before: WHAT HAPPENS when we have squeezed the last drop?

@btinsley1 ok....to say that DJ Premier or Madlib or Dilla didnt "love" a particular track that they sampled is outrageous!!! This track for example, I know from watching a Ma Dukes interview, that she said her son (J Dilla) was very excited for her to hear his remix to this because it was one of his favorites. Also, real hip hop heads are quick to find out what a producer sampled, and alot of the time that in itself becomes the "giving back" that you sat producers dont do.

@djdreamproductions: Really? And what, pray tell, in my statement is illogical? Music, as is with many earthly entities, is finite. What did DJ P or Madlib LOVE about a particular track? How many times can "artists" such as that pull, & pull, & pull from existent compositions, all the while never giving back ? This once fine art is being minced, & minced & minced into samples. What happens when all the "host" songs are used up? Please be aware a host requires the presence of a parasite.

@btinsley1 I'd like to see you say that to someone like DJ Premier or Madlib........i'd be very interested in their response

learn to play an instrument...otherwise, we're doomed...we can't sample forever, as it is a temporary music fix to a permanent problem of skill...peace
