I totally respect wanting the younger generations to be introduced to good music, but what some artists are doing nowadays is just straight up stealing, some of them don’t even sample them, they just use the same instrumental and hook with some of their voices
Kanye will have the sample loops throughout entire songs tho so how is it not just him slapping his own vocals over altered samples? The only complaint y'all mfs have is "I recognize these samples but I don't recognize Kanye's because they're before my time" There's nothing inherently wrong with samples imo and I've listened to plenty of musicians who sample other songs that haven't even been around for a decade. It all kinda just matters how a sample is put into use rather than how old or unrecognizable a sample is.
I grew up listening to Glamorous by Fergie. When Jack Harlow’s song came out, none of my friends knew what I was talking about when I said “I loved the original!”…. 😕
This topic was actually discussed in my music theory class years ago in high school. There's a literal formula you can write to predict the future of how music sounds.
I think a big problem with sampling is when artists don’t credit the original artist as songwriters. They are taking something that isn’t theirs and turning it into something new without fairly crediting the original artist which usually ends with lawsuits. (Obviously not all artist do this but it’s still surprising how many do)
“Lets talk about the problem…” then talks about how its not a problem and is actually good? Bro is tripping
“They’ve already had their bar or bat mitzvah.” Got me good! Lmao 🤣
The fact that someone don't know fergie, but knows jack harlow just blows my mind
Jack straight up put whole Fergie song and called it aday

Kanye actually didn't produce or sample the song you featured
Here’s my opinion: if you aren’t a composer and you use sampling, you aren’t a musician

Older musicians would just blatantly steal and get away with it. Sampling is an art.

One of my favorite samples is Kanye West sampling King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man."
I may only be 14 but I grew up with those "old" songs 🤣

It's not just if they are classics, it's also how you can find samples from obscure media and various times to add unique flavor to it
This is the one time I wouldn't mind gate keeping.

This is what I been saying. Even drill beats used to focus heavily on chopping samples instead of just dumping the whole thing behind drums
