listenin' to the man machine by kraftwerk this mornin', that thought arose
for those that don't knkow
the man machine is the sample for rockin' it, by the treacherous three

like, to me, isn't that the essence of black folk music?
we hear some shit we like
and think we can rock it better, the way we like
so we take some song, and treat them like they're our session musicians
and we go in over it

i mean, isn't the original music just a bunch of session musicians anyway?

why pay the artist or owner more than what they paid to make the song?
lol
fuckin' capitalism, you got to love it
of course, when you get into copyrights and all that
it becomes murky
but a wonderful world of hip hop this would be if you could just pay for the sample like it was just a bunch of session musicians
