| What do you think of rap songs with old-school samples in them?  | | | |  Has anyone else noticed the abundance of (mainstream) rap songs on the radio that use samples from older "classic" songs, keeping a similar melody & beat but obviously changing the words? What do you think about this? I have a trouble time deciding myself. Some songs, I feel, do a good job at re-vamping the older song and putting a hip hop twist on it, but other songs just RUIN the older version.
Some examples of "newer" rap songs with samples:
T.I. & Rihanna's "Live Your Life"
Flo Rida's "Lips like Sugar"
& so on.
So which do you think, generally? Do you think rap stars using samples is a good thing - in that it re-vamps the old song and allows for cross-genre music? Or do you think that these songs are generally a disgrace to their older, and usually better versions?
What are some GOOD "sample" songs that you can think of off the top of your head? And the worst?

| | Ha yes. I wasn't saying that I liked or approved of rap..But I was just bringing up the fact that a lot of rappers are so unoriginal that they have to use a sample from an oldie. It's weird. | | | | | | | sampling Find sampling Online. Free Shipping $50 on 100,000 Items! Target.com/FreeShipping | add comment | | | |

| |  Although a lot of old songs are brought back by rap through sampling, I don't like the idea perpetuating the style. It's not that it brings disgrace to the older and better version, it just tells me that younger artists of today are not ingenious or creative enough to make their own original music.

| |  Maybe they are thinking old is gold. I think it's also for the sole commercial purpose, If people liked it in the past, why not play it again. There's a lack of originality in that sort of music. I'm really not into this type of music, I listen to music no one speaks about but that is full or energy and originality. I'm into atmospheric stuffs, progressive metal, metalcore.
