"Name one HIT, or ONE good song that wasn't sampled, everything is sampled from the past, everyone you mentioned who inspire you, SAMPLE, and you know that"
Bling Bling
Back That Azz Up
Yeah!
Damn!
Ha
Shall i go on?
"Who said anything about heavily sampling?"
I did. WHat i am saying is that, the days of flipping old songs for albums are all but over. These songs are now mostly being done on Mixtapes. You should cop yourself some Wop, Cut C, Kool Kid, and see what i am talking about.
"Mixtapes ALONE are being neglected because there is an abundance of them scattering from every direction, and nobody is taking them seriously, they died out along time ago. "
Man....i should just erase everything i said, because you obviously have NO FUCKING CLUE what you are talking about! Mixtapes are still FUCKING HUGE on the East Coast, and down in the south, Chamillion(sp) just shipped about 10,000 pre-orders of his latest one. Joe Budden got his DEAL from doing mixtapes...same with Jae Millz....man, just....you are REALLY misinformed about mixtapes.
"There really isn't much "original" music anymore if you think about it. "
See the 5 tracks i just named. There isn't much original music because of people who think like you. That sampling "is always done", any hit song "was probably sampled" and that we "can't forget our roots", I mean come on.
"I highly doubt rap would of existed as it does now without vinyl, without break-beats and people like Kool Herc, Bambaataa & Zulu Nations"
To end on the most high point....Like i already said, that you seemed to gloss over, Prose and Music were bound to link up (and please tell me you know what prose means?). If it wasn't the black or latino man, a white man would have invented it. It was only a matter of time before someone set spoken poetry to music.
@Jomodo
Do you do any music at all? You should post something up for us to check out.
