      It wasn’t Damon the majority of these samples came from dan the Automator who produced (and for demon days its was dangermouse). That’s why none of the other albums sounded as good as the first two. Was also how Damon managed to get people like del and de la soul on the albums

      My problem with it was mainly the overwhelming vocal features (which I personally found pretty sub par compared to older features on other albums) and lack of Albarn's vocals on most of the tracks. While they always had a revolving door style of membership, it feels more like he was a "feature" on this album compared to the other artists. It still has Gorillaz style in the music, but the features were pretty hard to bear this time for me.

    • @tahu9759
      @tahu9759 7 років тому +12

      Personally, the Plastic Beach guests are more difficult to digest for me, because even that 2D sings a bit more (48% vs 43%) In Humanz is more homogeneous (3 songs that doesn't sing vs 6 songs in PB).

      @@delireent.3960 there were sampling rules in 2001. it's more because on the first two albums damon worked with outside hip-hop producers- Dan the Automator and Danger Mouse, respectively- who had really sample-based styles. on Plastic Beach he produced himself, and I think since then he's mostly worked either by himself or with Twilite Tone. Because he's no longer working with old-school sample-based hip-hop producers, that feel isn't in the music anymore. but every artist changes over time, I suppose

      @BirdmanDeuce26 3 роки тому +4

      @@delireent.3960 the rules were always there, it just wasn’t as common knowledge to the public at the time, since the only people who _needed_ to care were label/copyright owners and producers/engineers. If an artist wanted to poach a sample, it would be on the label to go and contact the rights holders of the original and get it cleared - if not, they just didn’t use it and would tell the artist so, or risked potential lawsuits. Paul’s Boutique by the Beastie Boys, released in 1989, had to spend almost $250k in rights and licensing for the samples used, for example. Many hip hop classics and hits of the era did legitimately have their samples cleared - my guess is that they happened with so much regularity, the impression to the public was that sampling was fair game for free use.
      But with the advent of online streaming and the ease of creating/distributing music (relative to 20 years ago), much more music is getting released without getting their samples cleared, and everyone - from the artist to their audience - has to be much more aware about proper crediting and clearing.

    I see a lot of you seem to be confused regarding the nature of sampling in music, so I want to clear up a few things.
    (sorry in advance for the walls of text)
    1. As far as I am aware, every song that I put in this video contains a sample. Sampling can mean many things and cover a wide array of media. For the first album, most of the samples were in the drums. I've seen a lot of commenters say that these are simply drums that sound similar and that I'm 'reaching', and I have to say that you're wrong. Drum breaks are very common in the type of music that was in Gorillaz's first album, and they aren't the only group to sample those songs. It may sound different than the original, but you have to realize that a lot goes into sampling and good producers know how to bend the sound of the original sample to better fit their vision. You can sample something and have it sound the exact same, sure, but a lot of the times you have to listen a bit closer to find the similarities. Most of these drum samples are from the 60s and 70s, trying to integrate them in a dub/hip-hop genre will obvious result in a bit of tampering.That is the wonders of producing and technology. These are ALL sampled.
    2. No, there is no 'Oh Yeah Mr. Krabs' sample in Ascension. That's just Damon screaming. Stop spreading misinformation.
    3. A guest vocalist or Damon saying the lyric of an older song in their Gorillaz track from a different artist doesn't equate to sampling it. That is interpolation. So something like the 'Push it real' in Kids With Guns isn't a sample of that Salt n Pepa song. There's a lot of cases like this in Gorillaz but unless it's an exact audio clip taken from the song, it doesn't count as sampling.

      I dunno, done properly samples can do a lot. A good usage of samples can turn something old into something completely different done as a celebration of the original content. Paul's Boutique and 3 Feet High & Rising are considered 2 of the greatest hip hop albums of all time by critics and use a TON of samples. Beastie Boys - Ladies uses an estimated 19 samples in a less than 4 minute song.
