How strange is this?

[Rhythmikal]

ok i downloaded a totally random track to sample, literally just searched a name and downloaded the track. anyway it had a nice brass section that had no drums. so i chop it up and make a beat. the beat turns out nice and im lovin it.

today i float over to allhiphop.com and see a new track called 'We In Here' from DMX produced by Swizz. i listen to it and it uses the very same sample, with all the same parts that i cut out! and its also arranged pretty much the same as my beat!

now im really pissed off coz swizz made lame use of it, and now if i put my version out people will be like shit you bitin' swizz beatz. i hope this track doesnt resurface.

 

[GRAFIK]

i've had this happen before, disappointing isnt it

 

[Big Tone]

yeah it happened with me too

 

[FistFulloDollaz]

thats just part of the game

 

[Relic]

been there done that and wrote lines only to hear Rakim spit them later.
You know your line is lost if Rakim says it.
I wanted to use the "dream on" sample since the 80's but Em got it, whadda ya gona do?

Think of this, its a small resorvoir on the net of actually diverse sampling material (especially if you going for some soul ish or oldies) if you limit yourself to looking for classics on mp3, especially file sharing networks...cats are overlapped on that shit bigtime all the best sampling out of that pool rises to the top and it makes certain joints commonly found (unless you join up to a good DJ Pool Site or forum)...my point is this, it pays to dig, find a record store with thousands and thousands of records and albums with unknow singles etc, there is a chance someone will find that same dope sample but if you go on one of those missions its good to be versed in what has been sampled heavily so if you dont want something like that like you mentioned, a lot of the dope joints have been exploited and plundered, not to say you wont outdo the original but most people gonna view that sample as a bite even though you flipped it differently......its unfortunate because it happens all the time....

I sampled 'Eddie Kendricks - Intimate friends' early on. Didn't know Kanye had sampled, arranged it, and programmed the drums almost the exact the way as me. Even the vocal samples were in the same place.

So I sent it to my friend, and he was only like "hah, why are you trying to send me a kanye instrumental claiming that it's yours?" Even to this day he can't listen to my beats without assuming I bit it.

See formant ,smokin that stuff DOES make you paranoid!!!!
But just cuz your paranoid doesnt mean they arent out to get you!!!

expanding on what Big D said... could this mean Swizz is downloading tracks off tha net too?

Could be??? LOL I know that I seen more than a few cats that make joints, sell them get credits and I ask where are your records....they look at me like......I dont own any....tell me...also think that Swizz bounces around enuff literally to be hearing cats joints and dont believe that thread that some folks think that known producers dont listen to the internet....I think thats completely untrue.....just like you and me are sitting here with an internet connection browsing between bars and concepts......in most of the studios that I have seen or been in they have nice fast internet connections and they browse the net, email etc just like you and me producers making lucci have that convenience and they surf and listen trust me....there is no difference except they are getting projects, placements and probably love the nice ideas they can get or develop from the millions of tracks floating on the net.....

I sampled that same song too, the one with the horns right, that Jin eventually ended up rapping on?

Organ type ish...which 213 used for 'Another Summer'. It has been sampled before Kanye, but I did it the same way. That was what bugged me.

 

[MarkN]

yea its bad it happened to me i used a track and then just blaze flipped the same sample a few months later !

 

[LonChainy]

lolol..i feel ya..the very, exact same thing happened to me with the curtis mayfield sample from Kanye's "touch the sky"...lolol..its some errie ish!!

 

[Sanova]

happened to me when nick cannon did that track for lil romeo. i did the beat wayyyy better but the vocal sample was the same. and it was around the same time, but nobody accused me, but i still discarded the track to the 'throwaway" pile

nevermind it was a diff. Eddie Kendricks track that I sampled, Jin ended up on the Kanye beat I'm talking about it wasnt a real popular song

 

[peter_neo]

Had that happen to me before.

Lonely People- Talib Kweli (Prod. Kanye West.)

Kanye straight looped that tho.

That Happened to me a few times. I did almost the same exact beat as 9th wonder for this Konfunkshoin sample, but my drums were hella doper.
