An example of one of the most common Samples is the drum intro in "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin.
A few artists that have used this song for sampling include The Beastie Boys, Dr. Dre, and Eminem.
Sampling is a great way to show how one song can affect such a large
amount of people. Led Zeppelin’s song
had a large impact on the rock and roll world when it came out in November 8,
1971. Music has a different affect on
everybody and this one song, is just one example of just how big of an affect
music really has on people. This one
example was powerful enough to inspire to some extent the Beastie Boys song “B-Boy
Bouillabaisse,” Dr. Dre’s “Lyrical Gangbang,” Eminem’s “Kim,” and the list
keeps on going.
Sampling was and still is a major part of hip hop. I think it is awesome how one piece of music
can inspire hundreds of other pieces of music.
Sampling originally was generally only used in hip hop, today sampling
can be seen in almost every genre.
I really enjoyed this blog and I liked how you put actual examples to demonstrate sampling. I think your blog demonstrates the very unique culture of hip hop music and how sampling has influenced all of the hip hop world. Your blog was entertaining with the YouTube videos and fun to read.
ReplyDeleteThe last paragraph really made me think. It is amazing how one song can impact so many people and have such a great influence in pop culture. Sampling helped certain songs become icons. Songs that were written years ago are still remembered today simply because of the way they were produced.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about this topic because it is something that I wasn’t very familiar with. So I learned a lot of new things about sampling, and it really is true how you can hear it in multiple genres today other than hip hop. It’s cool how one genre can do something totally different and then other genres put their own take on it and make it their own. I also liked how you put youtube links so we could listen to examples of sampling.
ReplyDeleteI agree that sampling now has an influence on almost all of today's music, especially the DJ orientated genres. The samples create a universal theme and can represent hip-hop well.
ReplyDeleteI find this topic very influential. It's incredible to see how sampling began in hip hop and inspired people so much that it can today be found in other genres. I also liked the fact that you put in actual examples of sampling so people can really hear what it sounds like.
ReplyDeleteI found this topic very enjoyable. I also agree that sampling is still a major factor in hip-hop as many artist still use it today.
ReplyDeleteI had a lot of fun listening to your samples so thank you for including them :) Once again I think that deeply analyzing the relationships between different genres of music is fascinating. All genres really do take from one another to ensure that they are continuously growing and changing as time goes on. And sampling proves just that!
ReplyDeleteSampling is definitely a cool concept that opened up a lot of new things for hip hop and other genre's of music. It's a huge part of music today that i think is still growing.
ReplyDeleteSampling is one of the major influences in the hip hop industry. It just shows how universal musical composition is and how it connects people. Often at times if I really enjoy a hip hop beat I go on whosampled.com and look at it's background, and as soon as you know it I'm listening and enjoying an album from a different genre.
ReplyDeleteI thought the examples you gave of sampling like Zeplin fit very well. The way you described the technique and importance of sampling was both correct and also elaborate. The fact that you brought in a genre like hip hop where sampling has always been extremely important brought good support to your blog post
ReplyDeleteSampling has brought the genre to a very unique listening experience where artist can take bits and pieces to compose a part of their song or in the case of a lot of mixtapes simply rap over a song with original lyrics. This is a benefit to amateur lyricist who can simply sample beats however lets consider the effect on budding dj's and producers. i cant help but wonder if sampling has an effect on them...
ReplyDeletesampling is a connection that links the difference music worlds together; without it the music industry would lack diversity and creativity. the best songs with regards to lyric content are usually sample songs.
ReplyDeleteI found this blog to be very intriguing. Many great hits had samples in them, such as Juicy by the great B.I.G.. I love hearing songs with samples in them. Sampling brought a new flavor to Hip-hop and still does in songs today.
