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

Aren't Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, and Chappelle Roan all zoomers lol.

I agree everything moves faster but it's still a 20 year gap, and in both cases you have parents playing that music for their kids as they grow up. Should they delve deeper? Yes. It seems like collectively the farthest back a lot of these young producers and artists will go is like....90s r&b. Jodeci samples and shyt like that.

You're also right about the weird way they don't interact with anything past a certain point. I saw a clip of an NBA rookie saying he tried to watch The Godfather but turned it off after 10 minutes because it was in black and white (????) and was too long. The lack of artistic and intellectual curiosity is stunning.

Everything is being designed to kill attention spans. One of the many things I enjoyed about the Kendrick/Drake rap battle was both not giving a fukk about that. Family Matters is a 7 minute song. Meet The Grahams is nearly 7 minutes, and Euphoria is over 5 minutes. Those are the longest songs a lot of kids have ever heard. Do I think that's gonna usher a return to an era where radio often played long songs like Purple Rain or Kashmir? No, but anything that shows these dumbass kids that other shyt is possible is good in my mind. You have to push envelopes because somebody is gonna catch it and carry it on.
The Godfather ain't even in black and white. These young people won't even listen to their own fav artists old music past a certain point. I've never seen anything like it before. Its like happy ignorance.

Hip hop has always been built on sampling


Unless they were legacy hold overs.
to the boi king era.
Or ol school to new school way of thought hold overs.


It generally has always been frowned upon.

To sample other actual emcees music.
in rhe new school way of thought.

Pops used to say when Dre made a million just looping parliament and Clinton, Snoop might wanna sit this out :snoop:


Erick sermon is the best p funk producer by a mile tho.


Dre is praised for being an rnb sonic clarity eccentric audiophile, in the rap indusrry.

Triple six is better at gangsta rap than dre and will go down as the best rap producer all time.

I said this twenty years ago.

That it still rings true.

Plus all modern music is based off triple six production. Even if they beat battle biters and nefarious details concerning. A number of their early grassroots Memphis work.
As their timeline eclipses Dre's output.
by volume of work.
As well as modern consistent influence.
region to region.
era to era.
as well as landsxape to landscape Sonically

Agreed. If you're going to sample, it better be hot.

Ariana Grande sampled one of the dopest r&b tracks only for 2 Chains to drop one of the weakest verses ever :comeon:

Now J Cole or Drake would've killed this.

Does Tyga think that was a Fabolous record? Seems like he was paying homage,but to the wrong nikka:dahell:?


Was that a Fabolous record and Im wrong? Couldve swore they crucified the legend known as Lil Flip for that record. I tried to block it out,id rather remember him from the Lucky Charm suit days:francis:
It’s flip but I don’t really remember him getting crucified for the record besides the milk line. It was a pretty decent hit at the time:ehh:
