Re-purposing a sound another artists created into something completely different, with it's own musical qualities (tempo,melody,whatever) isn't comparable to this...this is lupe rapping over t.r.o.y.


I see what you're saying but I don't think they're similar enough to warrant irony
Naw it's the same...the rest is semantics and splitting hairs

Happy he is actually back to music that has a hip-hop feel to it...

But should have left T.R.O.Y alone.

No disrespect to lupe fiasco and i like him alot but TROY should be left alone. Feel so violated,the beat is next to my heart and was made

TheRealPeteRock ‏@PeteRock
Outta anguish and pain. When it's like that it should not be touched by no one!

TheRealPeteRock ‏@PeteRock
It's so hard for folks to make original music, I possess that, but these dudes are scared of that and this is supposed to be HIP HOP?

TheRealPeteRock ‏@PeteRock
Man I'm a lupe fan and everything but TROY was my homie man. I think about him and Hev every fukking day!!!! Smh

TheRealPeteRock ‏@PeteRock
Who ever Re-created that didn't do a good job @ all. #nohate

TheRealPeteRock ‏@PeteRock
This business can be so lame, sometimes I make beats blindfolded with one hand tied behind my back and still these cats can't be original to

TheRealPeteRock ‏@PeteRock
So untalented and unoriginal. Makes me feel like I'm truly the best that ever did it. Yo hev and t-Roy I love and miss da shyt outta y'all

TheRealPeteRock ‏@PeteRock

TheRealPeteRock ‏@PeteRock

TheRealPeteRock ‏@PeteRock
I think lupe is a great artist, I'm that angry with him but it's a major label idea. I can feel it.

says the guy that built his whole sound/career on sampling music from the 60s and 70s :rudy:

idk.

shyt is hot to me.

And Pete Rock acts like he hasnt sampled mad shyt throughout his career. The producer shouldnt even get a credit for this tho really but oh well, this isnt the first time rappers have rapped over someone elses beat. He should be happy that people are still moved enough to fukk with his shyt.

Still, there pretty much makin money off the beat that Pete made years ago.

Some of you just don't get it.

Pete Rock sampling a record to make "TROY"....or sampling in general....ain't the same as this. Why? Because before the internet you had to actually go find samples, and someone like Pete Rock would go dig in dusty ass record stores for hours, just to find a 4-8 second loop. Which he'd then have to manually chop up, process, etc.

And nowadays people take shyt like Itunes, Wikipedia, or Sample Data Base for granted, but most of the time back in the day, you wouldn't know what was sampled. Why? Because they spent hours, days, weeks, looking for samples.

So for a producer in 2012 to just say "I'm gonna jack TROY"...."TROY" didn't exist before Pete Rock created it. The original song existed, but he discovered that sample. At the very least it's lazy as fukk, to an old school producer like Pete Rock, it's disrespectful.
