What was up with 2000’s R&B singers using the same beat over different songs?

[shakobe]

I miss that late 90’s early 2000’s production like donell jones what’s up and ruff ends no more

Thx breh, I had totally forgotten about that joint.

 

[re'up]

Think the same beats/samples got sold to different artists on different labels sometimes

like the Montell one

but the Jaheim thing just sounds like straight out sharking Wifey to me lol never heard that one

So Gone, 213 version was like a rebuttal, like No Scrubs/No Pigeons

 

[Clayton Endicott]

I could have swore 'so fly' was on a mixtape where 213 was jacking for beats like gunit mixtapes but given how buzzworthy the song was, they put it on the album, similar to when Lloyd banks blacked out on his victory freestyle where it was longer and puff made victory 2004 an official release off the strength of mixtapes

It was. Ironically enough, it came on from my West Coast Playlist on youtube music on my drive home from work today . I used to scoff at the idea of living in a simulation, but with all these damn synchronicities I'm not so sure now

nah, the algorithm is pushed by public consensus and it seems like casual listeners aka white people just found out about the track

 

[itsyoung!!]

music used to be so good

 

[WaveGang]

Brian Michael cox

 

[Kingshango]

3 Pages and no harp strings?









I can go on.

Edit: Forgot one, from the one who penned some of the songs.

 

[The War Report]

That mainstream early 00s shyt aged horribly.

Brian Michael cox

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

in 1993

 

[Jerz-2]

Not the same as what y'all are talking about, but Mariah reusing Shook Ones blew my mind back then.

Man, that's been Mariah Carey's REGULAR m.o. for YEARS: jack a popular beat and make her own hit out of it.

 

[1986]

 

[Bleedin Gums Murphy]

This shyt ain’t new and is not limited to 2000s era r&b






Both released in 1975

The only reason Bowie didn’t sue JB was because that joint flopped hard on the charts.


BUT THIS ONE HERE….



NO SHAME
