I've seen a bunch of hate for sampling when it comes to producing. That it's not original, or just copying someone else's music, that the producers aren't as talented.

But some of the GOAT producers sample. Kanye, Q-Tip, Dilla, Madlib, RZA, 9th Wonder. They all sample and they've put out some of the best hip-hop beats ever created.

So what's up with the sampling hate?

Not always true. I could "compose" an absolutely shitty beat in about 30 seconds.

sampling is an art itself

but making a beat from scratch requires more skill and is harder. e.g. Tyler and The Neptunes

 

[MegaKnux]

ok?

Which means it can be easier to compose than to sample at times.

 

[MegaKnux]

ok well i dont think were talking about making crap now are we?

It was never about quality, you just said that its always easier to compose than to sample but that's simply not true

 

[MegaKnux]

ok but obviously were talking quality

Eh quality's subjective. A beat that sounds like crap to you might sound amazing to me, and vice versa.

People who say that are young and ignorant. Hip-Hop is based off of sampling.

Sampling by far makes the best beats

Also it takes a SHIT ton of skill to do what some of the top producers do with samples.. flip them, etc.. like Dilla on "Waves" for example.. can't even tell it's a sample because he made something new. That takes just as much skill as composing tbh

Because sampling is easier than making something from scratch
