Hi,

Have just realised something, 10 out of the 15 tracks on the Blueprint 3 ALBUM have been sampled

Look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blueprint_3

The orignal "Run This Town" BEAT:

The Original "Empire State of Mind" BEAT:

Are you new to the whole hip-hop thing?

And I believe the sample in Empire State of Mind comes from The Moments' version of the song.

Erm yeah, this is hip-hop for you.
Everyone gets paid, because thats the point of sampling... Is it any different from a cover? At least there is SOME level of creativity in a sample.

When I first heard "Empire state of Mind" months back! Loved it

Now find out its not 100% orignal, as I first thought it was completly new!

The run this town is a complete rip off, sounds so similar to the orignal

That's because it sampled the original.

Seriously, how could you possibly be unaware that hip-hop production usually involves sampling? Did you not stop to wonder why Ice Ice Baby sounded like Under Pressure, or U Can't Touch This sounded like Super Freak?

Ice Ice Baby is nothing like Under Pressure, remember? Vanilla Ice even said so, with the one extra note in the bassline. That changed everything.

I'm not really a fan of hip hop but I think sampling is great. I introduces people to a whole previous era of music and all sorts of genres. Nowt wrong with that I reckon.

Full of samples or not, besides 1 or 2 weak tracks, Blueprint 3 is brilliant.
