The Art Of Sampling

I'm probably the one cat who's been getting the most slack from the media for "Sampling". In reality I've heard just about enough of it.
I get calls from my manager about doing interviews...my first question is:
"What's it about? I hope it ain't about me sampling. If it is fuck it!"

If only people knew how many of their favorite American joints are actually samples. In most cases the sample used aren't those that are familiar to the average dude in the street, which might allude them to thinking that what they're listen to is actually original works.

I've collected a few vid"eos to illustrate this and give ya'll a better understanding of the "Art Of Sampling".
I've used American clips to do this...since ya'll believe whatever they say over anyone else...

Watch and learn...
The Saga continues muthafuckas!

    Sampling - damned if you, damned if you don't.

    A video ripping Timbaland for his sampling:

    For the record, I like sampling, especially when it's something different that you never would've heard before. Like Nas's Represent off Illmatic; only a true fan of music like Primo would've dug up something like Thief of Baghdad.

    Swagga Like Us, that's another story. Especially when the song you're sampling is a hit at the same time your track comes out.
