Sure, lots of songs wouldnt have existed without the use of certain samples, but lots of these 'musicians' who we sample from got seriously jerked by their lables back in the 60's-70's. Lots of the R&B artist that our parents know and LoVe are BROKE AS FUCK! Thanks to 'rappers', these tired old fuckers who we "robb" can pay their rent, keep the repo man away for another two weeks, and support that heroin habbit.
Its funny to hear people hate on rap music just because its the most popular music, and created by ******s in America!

I'm not "hating on it" neither because it is popular, nor because it is "made" by people of color. I hate it because it is nothing more than terribly recycled computer generated crap and it irritates the fuck out of me.
How quick of you to throw the race card in. FYI I do like Blues & Reggae, (forms of music that are black in origin, since it matters so much) these are true forms of music. I could listen to BB King play for hours, but give me 10 seconds of any of Dr. Dre's "creations" and I'll fucking puke.
If they have rights to sample, great, by all means do it and pay the royalties, but there is a reason Dre and others are involved w/ so many legal battles and it isn't because they are overly concerned about the welfare of their elders.
