Producer Nitti says sampling is wack..

and I quote from the interview...


HHDX: Why do you choose not to sample that much? Is it a personal choice?
Nitti: Because it takes up too much time and to me sampling is not original. I don’t get impressed by no producer that samples a lot. To me you are taking something that was already a master recording and you are using someone else’s ideas from scratch. To me being a producer is coming up with something from scratch. Don’t sample nobody’s melodies, make your own. I get in there and make my beats from scratch all the way. I don’t get impressed by sampling Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, that is A, B, C shit to me.
HHDX: When you say time I assume you mean for clearance?
Nitti: Yeah that takes both time and money. You know if you sample a record and Earth, Wind and Fire are sampled, they are probably going to look for 75% of that record and they actually deserve 100% as it is their record, as it is their song behind it. You took something that belonged to them that sounded good before you started recording it. I think they should make a law to ban sampling as then all the real producers would come out and until then all the producers that sample, I will respect them but they do not impress me as they are doing nothing new.

Not to restart the sampling vs composing debate but thats plain ignant...I see where he is comming from but still...

here we go,,,what a doosh.

 

[Relic]

Yeah this thread should not focus as much on the sampling-v-composing thing , but learn how to conduct an interview type focus..Shit like that makes classic cats start hatin on you ..lol..

 

[SlickVikNewman]

Maaaaaaaan fuck Nitti! Same synth sounds, Young Joc findind and losin', all in the videos dancin' azz. I do both so I dont feel more for either one. Makin' a beat from scratch and choppin a sample both take time and creativity.

LMAO !! My thoughts exactly!

 

[StressWon]

samplin is an art form as much as composin hip hop beats. Neither are easy so he should watch how he comes out his face. Word.

 

[slik da relic]

i wonder if he would even recognize this if i didnt tell his azz... of course wouldnt... im a JEDI!


da relic

 

[J Rilla]

Whats funny is he says the only producers he respect are Dre and Tim....who both sample..idiota!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[KurtisRich]

It seems like he doesn't know and understand the history and the art of sampling.

 

[DJ Excellence]

"To me being a producer is coming up with something from scratch."
Also he doesn't seem to understand the meaning of producer. very sad

there should be a law that bans producers that no1 respects from being able to voice their opinions on producers that are better than them

 

[manguino]

That dude doesn't like hip hop.

 

[Sacred One]

wow, idiot

 

[Agent Smith]

there is just an overall level of disrespect in the game right now. heatmakers sample but they were quoted in an interview saying that after they sample a record, it means nothing to them, they can step on it or smash it. it's coming from both sides of the fence.

 

[Fade]

AHHAAHAH what a homo. He's probably only saying that because the samples have to be cleared. Basically by what he just said, he just sucker punched all the vets that made it possible for him - like Bomb Squad, Premo, Pete Rock, Buckwild, etc. Fuck him and his melodies.

 

[Ominous]

I can't even comment on this cat. Sometimes people really show what they don't know when they open their mouth.

 

[static]

that nigga sample that "its a nitti beat shit"(but i guess thats an intro)
but on a more related tip the muh fucka use's arp presets to do his melodies.....

 

[eXampuL_oNe]

Who cares, nitti sucks anyways.. Same synth sounds and drums on every track.. He's got some nerve sayin that...

 

[StressWon]

who is this clown anyways.....?
