George Clinton on Sampling

In early 2014 ACM students had the pleasure to attend a Masterclass with George Clinton hosted by Metropolis Studios. Most known Parliament and Funkadelic, Clinton is one of the pioneers of funk music.

he a real one... so glad he respects the art of hip hop.... i'm only 35 but i love all of his music... i just happened to stumble on this clip and it makes me appreciate him and his genius even more... I am a producer that uses samples in different ways... from the high pitched bars like kanye to the drums like everybody else who sampled funy drummer... would love to meet him one day...

How much did Dr.Dre pay out to P Funk.

[@chrisedwards3214]

Dre was sampling the p since his.nea days

this is sad..sampling is being to lazy to come up with your own music

[@xeropunt5749]

It hurt music playing/creating/collaborating/jamming. But it does have its good:
1. They paid the artists - great thing.
2. They extended the break, some records have only a few seconds of great music that passes by & never comes back.
3. They show you what artists to dig for.
5. Some collages of music is really nice, obscure records from various genres mixed artistically.
I think record companies hurt music with their greed & low risk profiteering of homogeneous music.

Well if you people didn't invent sampling in the first place and hadnt put us in the ghettos we wouldnt be sampling in the first place, also yall praise led zeppelin when they used to steal from blues artists, everything yall "make" is all stolen from us and we're taking back whats rightfully ours.

I know my comment is late, but I wouldn’t call it full on lazy. Iron sharpens iron & sometimes a legend can be sampled, and then a new sound is created & ends up being a new wave, which opens the doors to other future legends. 50/50 on it

No it isn’t
