great

wow 2 days ago.

awesome

I just got it recommended today

Not if you experiment with microtonal music.

@@laustcawz2089 Still only 24 notes if we're only counting quartertones because, let's face it, most people can barely discern something feeling odd about quartertones. Cutting it further down would be indiscernible to most people. I suspect that eventually given a few hundred years this process will repeat itself with people having the same qualms about 24 tone music and it's limits.

@@Bryan_Hagan Well exactly, I agree that octaves should make music more expansive. But in reality, like you said, most people get lazy and use the old 4 chord progression, not even bothering with chord variations or even rhythmic changes. So while they're should be a lot of possibilities, most will barely scratch the surface of what microtonal music is capable of.

except euro-centeic music theory doesn't represent the entirety of the world's music

@@catman6089 boom. There are different notes in other cultures. It’s like trying to say that ROYGBIV is the entire spectrum of color. Nah we just picked those and some people call the sky green

@@J.PC.Designs bit my reply too is a remix of your comment which is in turn the the remix of sm budges comment thus also being the remix of the dictionary which means the remix of all three comments

Does that my mean my name is now a producer tag too.

@@TCangie does that mean that my testicles r burning 🥵🤭

Unless its a lil xanax song

@@J.PC.Designs his reply didnt have a j, yes i know im fun in parties

Yeah I think Death Grips use samples in a really transformative way too

Beastie Boys used sampling perfectly as well

not just old, ANY Daft Punk discography has at least one example of incredibly detailed sampling to the point its an instrument in itself. The best examples are defo found on Discovery though

Their song Face to Face off of Discovery is a great example

If the clips are no longer than 6 seconds then they should be okay.

He's brilliant

Found out about him through Better Call Saul! "I Got the..." was used very prominently in one of its montages.

I found out about him via I Wonder by Kanye very clearly sampling his stuff

Now listen to Isaac Hayes, Bootsy Collins, Curtis Mayfield, and Baby Huey

​@samt3412 Yeah, thanks for letting the world know he "clearly" sampled him. You're a genius.

clever 😁😁

Under pressure

It's not stealing....their song went "ding-ding-ding-dig-a-ding-ding....ding-ding-ding-dig-a-ding-ding", mine goes "ding-ding-ding-dig-a-ding-ding--ta-da--ding-ding-ding-dig-a-ding-ding"....clearly different /Vanilla Ice

And Chas from Chas and Dave played the bass line on the original recording (will assume that will only mean anything to Brits over a certain age!)

I just saw that clip of Dre talking about it and then this video came up the next day!

Also just a banger in it’s own right

Not-so-fun fact: the drummer who played that drumbreak died basically penniless and forgotten. Inspiring new genres of music is nice and all, but maybe some compensation wouldn't have hurt ya know.

Actually, whales do remixes, too. Melodies become popular and widespreaded and other whales add their own tunes to it. Until that song goes out of vogue and the next one emerges.

Leroy Sinclair highly doubt that

Except they absolutely haven't been.

Combination of notes are one thing. You also have combinations of notes and rhythm, rhythm and timing, bpm, song structure and arrangement. There's so much more to music than just the notes. Music, like language, is infinite and evolving.

Good way to test this: Take the number of possible notes and the number (or range) of notes needed to make a song/melody (admittedly subjective), then plug those numbers into the formula for permutations (it's been a few years since I've taken statistics so I don't have it memorized, but you can look it up online), and you can calculate the total number of possible original beats. It should be a VERY large number, but if you could find a way to account for beats which are similar and those which are not aesthetically pleasing to most people... AND factor in how long humans have been creating music... Idk, all of the best beats might already have been done.

Pete a problem that arises is, how large does a combination gets to be? 10 notes? 100 notes? an arbitrarily large number? I don't see how you can bound the numberbof combination of nodes unless you restrict it to allow only a maximum number of notes in each combination.

Pretty sure he did his research. Can't confirm that he listens to any of this music.

yeah, i've learned a lot about music history in class and it's astonishing how much is influenced off of African American culture

So cool. Credit is always due

not to mention appropriation.

Don’t say EVERYTHING that has come since because every song here was sampled into a hip hop/rap or R&B song. So I would say that gospel and early R&B which was developed by black peoples is what evolved into modern hip hop and rap, which is a majorly black genre, which has already been a very well known fact

I mean, this video is literally just link Gospel to rap...Wouldn't exactly call that everything lol

How I'd do it: 14 years of protection from unauthorized for-profit adaptation & sampling. Clips for the purpose of education, analysis, parody, or discussion are fine, as are not-for-profit adaptations (fan-fiction). Once the 14 years are up, it's fair game for everything except reproduction in whole (singularly or aggregated). And that coverage only applies to the original creator or an authorized representative actively producing based on the copyright or patent.

@@cryofpaine If only that were so in writing...then there wouldn't have been Saul Zaentz to give permission to New Line Cinema so Peter Jackson could make the Lord of the Rings movies. Tolkien had been dead almost 30 years by then. Once an author or artist is dead, any work of theirs should move into the public domain.

Agreed. This was both funny AND educational.

Kayobro123 check out "everything is a remix"

we do!

I recommend Amber Run’s cover of Hide and Seek. It was the first version I knew.

yeah and that SNL skit is satire based on an episode of the OC that uses the song when a character gets shot!

right like its abt divorce

The Imogen Heap song blew my mind after growing up hearing the Jason Derulo song on the radio so much! 🤯

That scene in the OC was iconic.

If you like that, I think you'll also enjoy Pachelbel Rant by Rob Paravonian! I still get it stuck in my head all these years later and it's hilarious

He didn't know. But then someone told him there was porn online, so I'm betting he's learned. For real. He had a huge DVD porn collection and was showing it off to an interviewer. The interviewer talked about how cool it was to go vintage for that stuff, with all the porn available online, and then Eminem forced him to show him. He just got big at a time before the Internet, and didn't ever really need to learn about it.

Kenny Elyse Look up everything is a remix by Kirby Ferguson.

Bro It was sampled by both Just because it was also sampled by young mc doesn’t mean that he is wrong

Aditi Dubey yeah bit of a twist there

ikr xD

Aditi Dubey I like how that addition illustrates the cross-continential manner of remixing as different cultures take on different musical elements that appeal to them, really. Like how an Belgian electronic pop song samples an French opera (Stromae's "Carmen" and Bizet's "Habanera"), or how a German baroque piece brought the foundations to a Malaysian hip-hop number (Pachelbel's "Canon in D" and Zizan Razak's "Bawaku Pergi") for example...

jakmanxyom it's truly incredible

Omg hi Aditi! Hahaha. I was literally just thinking this.

I think new songs should include references for older pieces they sample. So that I don't feel so shell-shocked when I recognize something on a 60s station and realize my whole life has been a lie. Maybe it's dumb I feel betrayed when I realize I never knew a song's true origin, but it happens nonetheless.

I love all of those versions. I was 9 when the Carmen version came out and all my friends and I sang it loudly into our hairbrushes 😉

I am just reading Parzival for my German literature studies, so cool to read a version with comments about why and from who the author took his inspiration from. (Chretien de Troyes, other stories from himself, other stories before his time, other languages and so on) SO COOL!

Anyone who enjoyed this episode should definitely check out Nardwuar. He's a master of digging up musical history (so long as his odd style doesn't bother you).

I don't think it's blaming so much as wondering where Dr. Dre found the track to begin with. In pre-widely used internet days it's even more interesting to find out where someone found, was inspired by, and then sampled a track from.

I guess they forgot about Dre.

Tom's Diner was the track originally used by the guy who fine tuned the first mp3 encoder.

Yo, same! Only I found tom’s diner by accident, guz it played during a random playlist I turned on, on Spotify

m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bcqgqa-b2bqbmn0.html There’s also this sample by a rave collective called Ratpack in the underground rave scene in thd uk in the early 90s.

I dunno if this makes me very old, but Tom's Diner was a HUGE hit when it came out (I was a small kid at the time but I remember hearing it a lot). I mean. Sort of. Because..... PLOT TWIST.....the single was a remix! The original recording by Suzanne Vega is just vocals and (I think?) some finger clicks. But a few years later (in 1990) 2 British producers took that recording, added a down-tempo drumbeat and various moody synth and string parts (it sounds a lot like Massive Attack but actually predates them by a year), and released it themselves without asking permission from the artist or her record company. The record company heard it, but instead of just suing the producers, they saw the commercial potential and released it as a single. It was a huge hit in the UK and Europe (and was apparently pretty big in the US as well), 3 years after the song was first released! But in a weird way this whole story is a perfect example of what Hank is talking about in this video. Just layers and layers of reinterpretation and reimagining art. Sharing ideas. Just humans doing human stuff.

I don't know if I was just listening to the wrong version but on spotify there's no instrumentals or humming, it's just the woman singing followed by awkward bouts of silence...really weird

Yeenosaur join the navy

That song cracks me up because she’s obviously never been to Cuba. You know who really fucking hates Cuba? Cubans.
