Hip Hop Artist G-Eazy samples Good Vibrations in a track called "Endless Summer".  Im a hip hop fan I think the dude does a good job and serves the track justice.  Heres the link

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb5qybFOSKA

The whole mix tape is a mash up of a lot of older tracks he even does a video for the track Runaround Sue, which of course he samples Dions big hit
Here is the link for that

The sampling for thr g-easy track was well done in my opinion.

So looking forward to The Root's sampling of TSS - ?uestlove was raving about it when it came out.


In The Key Of Dee is amazing. J Dilla is amazing. Sampling can be amazing. Rap is amazing. Deal.

I guess I've just never heard any decent examples of a sample being used well. Most of the times it makes me cringe, a good example being Etta James' wonderful vocal from Something's Got A Hold On Me being used on Flo Rida's godawful Good Feeling. And no, I will not 'deal'!

That sucked aswell! Rapping a load of old bollocks over a nice sample to me doesn't constitue a good song, I don't get it and never will so I'm going to bow out of this thread before I upset someone with my intransigent position on sampling.

Why? This isn't a acid house, (or whatever it's called nowadays) site. It's a Beach Boys site. If anyone gets upset because you don't like crap, talentless music, created by idiots for idiots, then they're idiots.

Agreed, the rapping is a bit average but I thought the production of the track was quite good.  Overall I think its very hard to sample Brian Wilson produced track he put so many different progressions and intruments in his work it almost impossible because when you sample to loop a track your only getting a few seconds work of material to draw an audience in.  That is almost the opposite of what Brian Wilson does.

As for disliking rap its in the eye of the beholder.  There is some real good stuff out there but unfortunately it doesnt get the giant share of the exposure as the club/dance/r&b hip hop hybrid gets.

Hoping Dr. Dre's detox is any good. Funny how Dr. Dre has been tinkering and scraping material on Detox for ten years as his "SMiLE"

I'll never understand the reason people get so nasty about things they don't like, or about the other people who do like it. Is it so hard to just let (huge numbers of) people listen to (for the past 20-something years, the clearly dominant) music without the judgment?

I also blame Wiz for releasing the worst rapper ever, Mac Miller. He is nasally sounding rapper with no flow that sounds like he is doing karaoke live.

I'm not so sure, all Wiz songs I have heard have laughable lyrics about smoking weed (which gets really old, don't understand the anti-blunt message) and production is not great in my opinion.

Hopefully these songs open your eyes to weed rap lol ...If not then there is always Curren$y & Dom Kennedy.

[rab2591]

What about the non-urban folk, the wanna be producers and diaper rash remixers who attempt reconfigure or recreate the the Smile that never was? They flatter themseleves.

If it never existed in the first place, how can it be re-created or re-configured?

You answered your own question. 

My point being that these mixers aren't claiming they're Brian Wilson, or God for that matter , they're just making mixes of what could have been...never have I seen a SMiLE mixer profess a vintage recreation of SMiLE.

Ya know?! I mean, I think the Beatles are the most overrated band in rock history (performance part, not the song writing), but I wouldn't call anyone who thinks they are the greatest band idiots. Not everyone likes the same sh*t. But God forbid someone has a difference of opinion. 

[Puggal]

Both of these people should be hunted down and shot.

I'd rather listen to any Death Row or Bad Boy rap album from the 90s rather than The Beach Boys' abysmal post-Brian albums like Carl and the Passions or  The M.I.U Album.

Carl and the Passions>M.I.U

Now M.I.U and Keepin the Summer Alive thats a better pairing.  But I agree alot of music is better than those albums not just 90's gangster rap.
