The BIGGEST Beat Scandals (Explained)

[NavieD]

What's your thoughts and feelings on using premade samples?

The world needs more studio tales from DJ Quik. That 30 seconds of story telling was priceless 😂

[ChromeRockwell]

The drums in Addictive are actually a looped break from B.T. Express as well (besides the tambourine)

[letssee]

We gotta remember early hiphop was made by DJs. DJs played parts of popular records aimed at party people. The party people loved the familiarity.

The era of sampling is back, we have people who literally devote themselves to making original music to be sampled for music. namely Drumbroker and the samplelab.

We need a part 2 to this video...Great Job.

[metrobeatz]

great job recreating the beat..they actually recreated the beat pattern from 'BT Express - Do It Til You're Satisfied' which was a huge funk record in the 70s!

I remember hearing the Pharoahe monche godzilla sample when I was a little kid on the radio and was blown away, it was so dope. It gave me chills and still does

[SeaSquared]

I heard Pharoahe Monche on The Champs podcast talking about this. He said they were trying to sue him as an individual, his lawyers defense to shift the blame to the label was that it was like if you recorded the Superbowl without permission and then gave that copy to a friend (the label) and the friend made a bunch of copies and started selling them. It was a long time ago I heard it but that was the general gist, I think about that all the time.

[farraribeats]

I can imagine big producers who use very obscure parts from samples like Havoc, Madlib, or DJ Premier get pissed off when someone finds the sample and puts it on whosampled😂

You just earned a new subscriber... this may just be the best channel I've came across in a while!!

[shabazz]

Big Daddy Kane addressed sampling so well on his Young, Gifted, and Black verse, as did Stetsasinic with Tallking All that Jazz.

Navie I'm really enjoying these beat history videos so much. Your one of my all time favorite ppl in the universe.

I found your page on accident and I got to say you’re nice AF. I enjoy the way you break down music that I can watch and put it in a technical sense so everybody can understand that it’s not just Nawdy it’s really hard it’s really creative. Thank you for that.

[MvnStn]

Ughhh, all Classics! I totally forgot about that Addicted track and Truth.. Superb breakdown, Navie.

[dmasterify]

Man this video was well put together. And you not only told us about the lawsuits, we are also educated on how to creates beats!

[davud]

Sampling should be legal, making sampling illegal is taking away freedom of artistic expression from many artists.

[feralg]

This video is so well made! Great work

[dinogoldie]

A few more notable rap sample clearance snafus: Geto Boys "Gangster of love" (Steve Miller band); Snoop Doggy Dogg "Gs up Hoez down" (Isaac hayes); 2 Live Crew "Pretty Woman" (Roy Orbison); De La Soul "Transmitting live from Mars" (The Turtles); Buck 65 "Up the middle" (Metallica); Buck 65 "Bio/65 Buick" (Biz Markie).
