Wow, I'm an idiot man. When I first started making beats, I thought using samples were whack because it isn't your own piece of work, but now I'm looking beyond that. My friend gave me a CD with a whole bunch of samples like a month ago but never popped it into my computer until now. Been messing with them for like 20 minutes and wow, I'm seriously amazed at what I've been hiding myself from because most of the samples were originally recorded live and it's hard to get that feeling with just playing a melody on the keyboard. And then when you combine other dope samples together, they make a beautiful piece of art, for real. Thank God for showing me this today, but I still can't get this MPD16 to assign audio data to each pad so I can have more fun with the drums and bang em out a lot harder.

I know what your sayin Seoul. While using software I never thought using samples were fun. in fact while using software I didn't think it was much fun in general. on the other hand, the 1000k really opened my eyes to samples. I chopped my first two records 3 days ago and truly understand the power of the sample!!
yea man im in the same boat i just started using records etc and its defiantly dope i think knowing, understanding and utilizing every aspect wether it be keyboard, sampling ect is good for producing in general. Even Kanye was sayin that "samples are so much bigger than just me" (talking from ye's veiw), such as the Diamonds record or "hard knock life" off jay zs vol two, he mnetioned.

I dont thin its stupid, ive just recently unlocked the power of sampling(and combining it with composition)
Before then i would stay away from it casue i felt it was limiting. In certain aspects i still think its limiting but when you use it right it can be dope
I talk bout it in detail here...

Sampling has been in hip hop since people like Kool Herc began to isolate breakbeats on the 1 and 2s. Digital sampling is just an extension of that, it's hip hop at its truest form. I feel people tend to criticize without knowing their history.

sampling is like a slaughterhouse, preying on victims.

If sampling is wack then I guess 98.9247% of Hip-Hop is wack.

what I notice is majority of people that dont sample or never sampled just started getting into hip hop production within like the past 3-5 years
both sampled and keyboard beats are dope if done with some skill
or on the other hand they started out sampling back in the day and then moved into doing original composition
it also depends on where u from most southern and west cats favor keyboard beats because of the bass music roots

What I like about sampling is that I put together melodies (and sounds) that I know that I wouldn´t if I didn´t sample.
