Mixtapes are fair game IMHO, especially if the beat is actually jacked (not 'remade') and it's presented as such - a jacked beat.
Ive seen mixtapes that say featuing *insert famous rapper here* when theyve just laid an old accapella over their new track that also have production
credits for jacked beats
ie 'produced by dj premier' when they just spat over NY state of mind
wheres your god now?
Haha. Good point (and I was going to go into this too but couldn't be fucked at the time).
Yeah, of course that is just straight violating too. We've all probably seen at least one instance of this before and it's just so obviously
fraudulent that it doesn't really require any further explanation.
Also, re: Large Pro touching this one before PR and putting PR onto it himself, it's the very 'blessing' of Large Pro giving the go-ahead to one of
his contemporaries that warrants the permission (besides this, Extra P didn't even use the loop - must be kicking himself to this day despite
producing a great and classic remix). Further, at least anecdotally, Tom Scott also gave PR his blessing/approval to produce the track based on his
listening of it.
It's just lazy (as I think Lumberjack said) and reeks of that sort of obnoxious "hipsters trying to cash in on hip-hop 'coolness'/culture vulture sort
of bullshit" that makes me disappointed that kids can't respect the basic ground rules any more because they're feeble brats.

indentify with skateboarders with that get up smh
What's the real discussion here? Sampling or biting? Can a sample/section/whatever be used twice?
Every sample producer has used a previously used sample one way or another, but TROY is one of those samples like
juicy, anything of illmatic, the symphony, etc etc, was done so well the first time, you want to have a pretty good reason to do it. If you
flip the same piece of a song in a similar way knowingly yeah its a bite. Obviously if i found a sample of Giant Steps id skip that if some big
artists u know heard it flipped it the same what would your thoughts be?
I see it as two things if your sampling nautilus and you never heard it before you need to download some hip hop albums, if your copying someone cos
you "love that beat" your biting.
dj wtf..?
juicy fruit had all the cultural significance of a miley cyrus song and the biggie use of it was neither the first nor the best use of it.
I've never understood the obsession in melb with that song. it's ok, but def not GOAT material.
re; jumping on someone elses beat... who cares. even if it is lupe. pete rock had his time so did lupe. both seem like they're trying to catch some
shine off of this.

it�s very difficult to understand how he could stay on dope, because he knew it was suicide, that he was killing himself, but his other personal
problems were just such that he wasn�t physically or mentally able to stay off.
i'll assume you're talking about my latter comment.
For years there was criticism levelled at raps music that sampling/copying rock/soul songs was not only disrespectful of the original artist but also
diluted their fans enjoyment of the original song.
Pete rock was part of that generation that copped that criticism, so it's kinda smelly dicked when he gets upset over a younger generation doing the
same thing, albeit within their own genre - if you include lupe's sub genre and pete rock's within the broader subset of hip hop.

I know heaps of kids that have never heard the term. If anything, Gloomy using it might encourage people to trace the history and appreciate the
original usage for what it is.
massmc: fuck a blend brah.. just throw the tracks in like a fat cunt
So what you're saying, Bluebird, is that Lupe is a fag?
Agreed.

i just listed some well known beats. im not particularly attached to juicy. ive listened to the symphony about twice too tbh. A shit song can
obviously still make a good beat though.

Yeah that's cool, I still don't need to hear some turgid shit bag try to flip juicy the same way again anyway, no matter what version thier
tributing.
all i'm saying is that the original is a totally disposable piece of pop trash, biggie certainly wasn't the first to use it and other certainly did
better tracks with the same sample.
