another thing i hate with the music industry-song sampling

Yeah you are right there. You know this J.Lo song On The Floor, I think the melody are taken from 1 thailand song or maybe some asian song which I listen from TV in early 90's or late 80's. Too much artificial music nowadays for my liking. Why they keep doing it? Because MTV like. MTV have ruin music industries. For me non of the mainstream music are good. Some yes but not many. No originality, sound all the same, more publicity than worth, and pure trash. One things that annoy me, remix. 1 song was done very well previously and then they remix it by add a rapper to rap between the song. Come on. Come with something new. If cannot, just stop making music. And because of their lack of music quality, many of them not last long. Then we wonder why bands like KISS and Iron Maiden are still alive and kicking since the 70's until now. That is because they make pure music and no gimmic. Learn from them. Long live Metal music.

Well, sampling is a fine art which can lead to great results, or not. You see, sampling has been around since the 80s if I can recall correctly, it's just that now it's used in mainstream music a lot, in a bad way (looping mostly). Chopping, another style of sampling, is completely different, it's like rearranging the pixels from a picture to make a new one. It's done a lot in Hip-Hop. I can show you some good examples if you'd like me to.

I agree with you. I don't know but it seems less and less originality comes out of music. I hate it when people just revive songs. I mean, can't you come just come up with new ones? I hate it even more when a new song sounds so much like an old one, like it was just rearranged to sound like it is new but in reality, there is nothing new to it except the lyrics.

I agree 100%!! I'd much rather hear an artist pay tribute to another artist and their song by doing their own arrangement and covering it. I hate hearing pieces of one song mixed in with the lyrics of another. Rhianna forged her career around doing this. Most of her original "hits" were sampled versions of older songs (the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Maneater, but I remember working in a record store around that time and all the Rhianna songs we played were sampled from something else).

I know what you mean here, i wish these untalented manufactured artists actually hold a damn pen in their hand and write some new material. I've wrote my own songs and busting my gut finding the right chords for it and there they are ripping someone else off and putting it as their own. Do they even know what a pen and notepad is? do they even know what a music note is?

hello capt, Well,sometimes it sounds good because they're reviving old songs. What makes it bad...when they even tried to changed the whole songs..like singing too differently from it's original version... making it a bit rap...or slow rock and ruined the whole song
