Sampling in Hip-Hop..........?

-Do you think its dying?Not really, it's happening all the time. Especially with hip hop artists sampling from songs from the 80s and further back because their new target market don't know about these other things.

It is still an effective method because a good hook can make a hit. For example very recently Jason Derulo sampled a song called 'You've got to show me love' in his new song 'I don't wanna go home' and Jennifer Lopez' hit song 'on the floor' having a sample from 'lambada'.It's becoming less common among producers that are popular today..but it's not dying. For example, I listen to madlib on a daily basis, and he uses samples in all of his songs. and young producers who ive met on here(such as savage cap and stillill) they use samples a lot in their songs, but their influence comes from producers that sample heavily(dj shadow, Pete rock, j dilla, madlib). Sampling is becoming an underappreciated part of being a producer, that's why more popular producers do not sample and underground/less popular producers sample a lot. It's all in what draws a crowd
no i think it's still going strong in the underground scene but the mainstream doesn't seem to do it as much, they also never have scratches or cuts on their records which is a key element. i think the dj has been completely shunned out for the most part and they're the backbone of the culture...shame
of course it's been dead for years. I feel like its a result of getting a sample cleared is much harder and more expensive than it used to be and that southern rap took over and they relied less on samples in their music.
Yes, because there's more restrictions, more lawsuits, and less creativity.
I just think it's more prevalent underground then mainstream which is really unfortunate
