Sampling early 2000s beats is so lazy

[M4T]

The 15,20 year old originals always sound way better with higher fidelity because they weren't high pass filtered to shyt on fl studio, and rapped on by stripper rappers

The samples wouldn’t be so bad if they actually got creative with them, but often times, it’s pretty much the very obvious sample plastered over an inferior version of the original beat. It’s also weird that it seems like labels are mostly having the women do this.








I’d rather they just rap over the original beats than rap over watered down versions

Worse when they just take the original songs melody/hook. This shyt is basically like a Top 40 cheat code

I mean this is what the old heads from the 60s and 70s were saying about hip hop in the 90s....not comparing the creativity in these modern joints with what producers were doing in the 90s, but i mean if you look at what Diddy was doing just looping 80s classics it's just as egregious.

 

[I love Latina women]

the issue is the producers ain't doing shyt with the samples

they not flipping, looping or chopping shyt

but then again, the audience of today don't care, so im sure the producers and labels like "if they don't care, why should we?"


you can sample a beat from the 2000's or last year, it's not about what you sample, but how you sample it and what you do with the sample.

the lack of creativity among many is what hurting a lot of the music but it's been this way for a long time now

That jack Harlow song is so horrible,bro couldn't even be bothered to write a hook and the beat sounds like a depressed great value version of the original

2000s sampling was basically

• Chop a sample to hell (no melody or cohesion)
• Add a shyt load of drums
• Maybe one bass line
• Sped up the sample
• ???
• YEAHHH!
• AYEeeee!
• Profit

 

[Pressure]

Just a biproduct of everyone selling their catalogs and shyt getting cleared easily.

It's lame as fukk beyond being just a nostalgia grab

Sampling 70s records in the 90s meant you had access to string sections, horns, brass and all kinds of sounds you would never be able to recreate without tons of resources

Sampling 00s records in the 20s means you're looping up Fruity Loops presets and cheap stock VST sounds which can be easily recreated even with an app on your phone

It's pathetic

Y'all sound old.
It's disgusting.
Go sit down and listen some rawkus/def jux records. You can't police change.

Ol' hip hop ain't no music ass

If you read the previous posts and this is the only conclusion you came up with, you may be the old dusty person here.

nah this shyt is different cuz the youth they are trying to appeal are listening to the 2000's r&b/rap songs being sampled. you see the female rappers doing it cuz gen z girls like to dance to r&b songs like Goodies on tiktok. Or even 2000's emo/indie rock. these new rappers are feeding off nostalgia in a way most 90s/00s rappers were not. obviously there were exceptions like Puffy and Wyclef

white kids in Nebraksa that bought Chronic/Doggystyle were not listening to Parliament/Funkadelic lol. most people weren't listening to the jazz songs being sampled by Pete Rock.

ITS NOT THE SAME WHEN ITS
THE SAME GENRE THOUGH....
THATS WHERE THE LAZINESS GETS HIGHLIGHTED.

IT COMES OFF AS A MIXTAPE TRACK
RAPPING OVER OTHER nikkaS BEATS.

PUFFY RAPPING OVER A STING TRACK
IS STILL CREATIVE BECAUSE NO ONE
RAPPED OVER THAT TRACK BEFORE.

RAPPING OVER ANOTHER
nikkaS RAP SONG THO?

Their demographic wouldn't even know those songs really. I once asked some girl if she knew You Stay was a Puff Daddy track about J Lo and she looked at me like I was out of my mind. Or that Rihanna one, with the Wyclef sample.

She would have been about 30 years old, and I was 34. What is going on in that Meg video? There's a dude with his throat slit in the bathroom?
