    this is why i love sampled music. it's not about just making a musical pattern. the best part about music sometimes is the literal artifacts of the natural world, right? crackling in the music, people using voice in creative ways. what better than to restitch all these beautiful sounds into something bigger? to not repurpose sonic treasure is some reductivist pipe dream.

    Most don’t even know that most music ever made by blacks have a church influence. When Little Richard created rock and roll that was a derivative of the church songs he grew up singing. This same thing can be applied to many other artists like Aretha Franklin and many others. In hip hop we have kept that same lineage. We sample those classic songs and riffs. We also continue to dig back into church songs for inspiration on riffs, chords, and in some instances lyrics!
