Lately, music has been dry..as hell.. Everyone pretty much samples music from other artists, seeing that everything has pretty much been done before. Not many artists can say that the instrumentals to ALL of their work are originals. Now, Kanye West is a dope musician, i like his stuff..but i'm going to use him as an example. His third studio album "Graduation" featured a plethora of sample from artists like Steely Dan, Labi Siffre and Elton John. I bet some of you are like, who the fuck are they.. but it's artists like them who provide a blueprint for music today. Mickey Factz for example takes alot of European house tracks and other underground musicans tracks and creates fuckin MONSTER tracks with them. Nothing bothers me more than a sampled song that sounds worse than the original. Birthday Sex by Jeremiah? He completley fucked up that "girl you know i..i..i.." for my man Stevie Brock. So next time you're listening to the radio, which i refuse to do, listen to a song..and pay close attention to it, because it may not be the first time you've really heard it.
