Rap producer makes a beat with a beach boys sample (smile)

[buddhahat]

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.

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 know - baffling. I can understand it from some of the older fans here but some of these guys are younger than me!

And isn't sampling (when done artfully) just an extension of what Brian was doing with the cover versions in Smile - Gee, Old Master Painter/You Are My Sunshine, the ragtime bit in Look? He and VDP were inserting references to different genres and eras, creating unexpected juxtapositions to generate new meaning, which is one way that intelligent producers today use samples. Dismissing it out of hand as crap seems depressingly narrow minded to me.

And to add, Brian pioneered sampling his OWN music with SMiLE, and into Smiley Smile & Wild Honey. "Do You Like Worms", "Vegetables", "Little Pad", "Here Comes The Night", etc. Lazy bastard.

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

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

I actually liked these, I go back on what I said that ppl couldn't use BB samples and make the outcome good. Thanks for these link!

C'mon, you must know me by now. Something about Newguy's threads brings out my playful side. Didn't my previous posts about shooting them give the game away?

Ok ok, fair cop. I thought you were playing devil's advocate at the start but the acid house comment really threw me. Now I, too, shall bow out and spare the philistines any more of my prosampletising!

I like wiz khalifa's songs its cool,calm and mellow music you can smoke to and relax to.
this is perfect example of sampling...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=034FoeoeZYw....

I'm telling your mom that you smoke weed!  Wiz music is for really lame people who "smoke" weed.

smoking weed is lame?

Nah, Wiz Khalifa's material is the lamest stoner music ever.

you obviously only know his mainstream sh*t

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.

mac is horrible but he has a few classics...trust me man you gotta check out their sh*t..they have hidden gems just like the bb's do

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.

Weed rap like that isn't doing anything for me, I'm more into 1990s gangsta rap.
