Sampling sucks. Couldn't figure out why everyone loved that Emenim song until you realize you've had 20 plus years of hearing the melody from Aerosmith.

Cheating!


Just to add to the stupidity: I recall an interview with the rap chick (I'm not recalling her name) who sang with Sting on an awards show. It's the song about Biggie Smalls that sampled "Every breath you take" Sting showed up to sing with her and she told the press she didn't know who he was. She thought he was some hired singer. She didn't know he wrote the song.

I'd love to see someone like BigWillie Style come up with a new hit that didn't involve someone elses intellectual property.

And Fanilla Ice totally stole that piece. It wasn't sampled. It was copied. There's like one note difference.
