Snoop Dogg calls out today's rappers for sampling other artists hit songs and f*cking it up.

[Capitol]

Did yall even watch the video? They both addressed that. And they were right. 100%. Matter fact. I feel like hip hop is too busy sampling other hip hop. Hip hop artists in the past had an appreciation for the music prior to hip hop like soul music, funk, rnb etc etc. So they were putting a new spin on the samples that wasn't there before. Thats damn near ENTIRELY missing today. Cats like Dre would go and actually get the funk artists and have them replay and interpolate the samples as well. There was musicianship and appreciation. Cats like Havoc would flip a sample so crazy the shyt wouldn't even be discovered until like 20 years later.

That has more to do with business and label politics imo

Nikkas ain't even chopping anymore they're just remaking the whole song terribly or using the same beat with some extra 808s added

Nah because like I said there's certain artists that still do. And they stand out for it.

 

[Mag Wheel]

Every classic Snoop track is a sample or interpolation of a sample. Shut your old skinny ass up.

I mean...I'm starting to understanding the concept of looping as some samples are just that fire. Plus you got to factor in the drums already laid out and so forth.

It's all in mixing nowadays and not so much chopping.

Thats one thing someone like Kendrick does and it's so rare that it's extremely noticeable which is why he gets so much praise for doing so. It's not many artists willing to do what he's doing. Kanye used to. But he's nuts. Tyler does. Which is why he stands out as well.

That's why I like Curren$y, Krit, Kendrick, beats by Cardo

I gave up on this years ago. I remember when Torrey Lanez had ‘Say it’ and I was the old man yelling the clouds ‘he’s cheating!! ‘

To tack on a monster track and just make it your song is not ‘sampling’ that’s a mfin interpolation, a cover. Of course you gon have a hit

Snoop literally said what I've said in here many times, verbatim. Hip-Hop's relationship to reinterpolations has typically been taking a great song production of year's past and then simply having someone replicate or offer a play on the original chorus while inserting rap verses between. This often resulted in watering down the original song ... As nothing of creative merit was added to the SONGWRITING

The great's built and expanded upon the samples they touched on

Rappin 4 Tay when he sampled I'll Be Around - what a lofty task, to build and expand upon THAT song .... Tupac did this often

This is different then your song coming out like a half-baked tribute to the original - where you added nothing


From an element of songwriting,

I've posted this before, and you can see how readily I can summon a full understanding of the subject right here, whereas many will hear what he just said and beyond perceiving the words they will have no perspective on what was said


It brings me a sense of validation to realize I have the same perspective that some of the most successful people in this field do

Female artists are the most guilty but I agree with this sentiment 100%.

The main factor is the genre

If you sampling an already popular rap song to make another rap song, you're literally piggybacking off of the originals success.


You can't really make the same argument when the sample comes from another genre or a song that wasn't blatantly a smash hit

 

[getmoney310cpt]

Peep Dre face when snoop said that bullshyt lmao

He even said “we did that too” before letting snoop say that dumb shyt…

You think everyone was happy with how Dre remixed the hits? That look he has tell me he heard similar things when he was sampling back then lol

I'm still tripping about dudes sampling full blown rap songs. I mean, if it's like old 3 6 Memphis stuff with a filter ala phonk, it works. But word for word .

These new rappers weird man.
