For all of you think sampling, is stealing....
Let’s visit first, literature...
Let’s visit first, literature...
The ILLIAD and The ODYSSEY, two works that samples from each other. A ton of 18th and 19th century literature takes the sample liberty, taking earlier works, to create new works, time after time, century after century.....even to the point that our movies are all, samples
Samples and bits and pieces of earlier works. Ray Charles...”I Got A Woman”, was a complete take from a song recorded in the 1920s...a “loop” if you will. Thousands of COLLAGES hanging in thousands of museums across the globe, are made from different mediums...
Even if you are a student, sitting in a classroom, studying to become a teacher OR producer, or a player that becomes a coach, a vast portion of your ideology, your thought process, and your instruction is derived from “loop”, that you were taught, but reformed.
Reformed, or texts and content explicated, to introduce that information to a new generation....it’s called “repetition with a difference”....
In short...our whole culture is a sample, our government, our buildings, holidays, our way of life....we spend our day saying slang and using terms that were NOT create by any of us, but saying it like it’s ours....
Miss me with the idea of stealing.....know that when the NY public school systems in the early 70s took arts programming out of public schools, that black and brown people did exactly what we always do...make something out of nothing....
We made our own instruments, we created our own bands, we did exactly what people NOT our color has been doing for generations....making creations and calling it theirs...
Learn, go read and research about probably your whole fucking existence is bits and pieces of some shit you saw, heard, or mimicked..
You walking, fucking sample.
P.S. Read Ulysses.....wit’ it’s looping ass....
