mehhhh

@@tex10krunner I’m not talking about sampling, yes sampling is a huge part of hip-hop, I’m talking about the way that you sample, there’s a big difference between the way Primo & Dilla do it compared to Puffy & Hammer.

RenR70 facts bro, puffs production hit cuz he had songs people already liked and he didn’t do much to them.

Original hip hop sampled EVERYTHING!! the first recorded rap song was a sample

53-year-old Diddy claims that he's still paying Police front man Sting $5,000 in royalties every day for sampling the group's hit “Every Breath You Take” in 1997. Apr 10, 2023

He even invited sting to sing in VMA when they sing this live

@@okirrama3587 Sting might as well guest sing at the VMA since he gets 100% of the royalties (around $730k/yr) because Sean "Puffy" Combs never got his permission to use his music.

MTV generation we listened to everything they played

I was hoping somebody mentioned this ...

love

Im a huge fan of Faith Evans

Oh crazy i didnt know that

No shit sherlock holmes

she was fukn big poppa

What, I'm confused. Sting was friends with Pac. Wasn't Pac the mortal enemy of Big E Small? Sting should have been pissing in Big E Small's grave if he was a true friend.

@@John_Locke_108 Is taking all the proceeds from Biggie's tribute song by the label that was built on his back, his producer / friend, with the hook sung by his widow; and any chance of any of that money going to his family (but ultimately not really because Diddy is selfish af too) not enough?

@@mimoe7587 Good point. I retract my comment.

@@John_Locke_108 After Biggie was killed, most people realized the beef went too far, cost too much.

@@John_Locke_108 You can be friends with someone and not have beef with their enemy. Sting isnt from that world. Hes just a fellow musician, that was cool with Pac. Its not like they grew up together. Theres no reason for him to hate biggie.

Guilty conscience maybe? Many still believe he had something to do with Tupac's death. Idk, js. And wasn't Faith married to Biggie? She might actually know the real truth.

The key word there is "samples". Puffy didn't use samples in a subtle way and mix them. He just ripped a track whole and laid garbage flows over it. It is all he does.

@@adgato75 For sure. That makes sense. I'm not saying he's a goat or anything at all, I'm just putting into context why they're hearing all these songs they didn't know were actually other songs, or from them other artists.

Great idea as The Spaghetti Incident album by Guns N Roses would be good to do as they did awesome covers on that album.

Yes!

That would be any of Led Zeppelin's early catalog.

quote of the night!

Don't forget the beat from Led Zeppelin Kashmir for the Godzilla soundtrack Come with me.

@@trinitraveller2592 but he had learned by that point to ask. Which no doubt saved him a lot of money- Sting took ALLL the money from this one.

lil more than sampling. . pretty much all he used

@@trinitraveller2592 yeah, but he got Jimmy Page to play on that one.

@@katherinemorelle7115 he still makes around $730k/yr from it.

I was born in 93 and I definitely heard this version all over the place first while growing up. I don't remember my parents commenting on it either, my mum liked this and never said anything. Same with Ghetto Superstar, noone mentioned that and Islands in the Stream in the same sentence around me. Ghetto Superstar I only connected the dots myself in the last 10 years if I'm honest 😂

yes great idea

Good idea!

I LOVE covers ❤

Judas Priest did 2 covers I know of, Diamonds and Rust and Green Manalichi. The Doors Alabama Song (Whiskey Blues) is a cover from 1920's German song. Wrathchild America did a fantastic cover of Pink Floyd's Time. Just a few I can toss off the top of my head.

Love it! Can I suggest Bill Wither's Grandma's Hands vs Blackstreet - No Diggity?

Reunited and it feels so good!

So funny, I thought that too. I used like when my mom played that song on her 8-track when I was little lol

I was thinking the ice-cream flavor.

And he’s a perfect mix of his mum and his dad, that one.

@@katherinemorelle7115 *mom Short for MOther. My dud and my sus both agree.

@@arby3162 not American. I spell it the way all other non American English speakers do. We spell it the way we say it. It’s also not an abbreviation of mother. Are you saying that Ma (another informal word for mother) should be spelt Mo? And should dad should be faf or fad for father? Mum is its own word, just like ma and dad. It’s not actually an abbreviation. Also, USians have no room to criticise on the spelling of abbreviations anyway. Mathematics is a plural. Maths.

@@katherinemorelle7115 Your comment made me laugh because my father and his siblings called my grandmother Mo instead of Mom or mother. But then they also used the word mummy instead of mommy. Both are unusual for Americans. I'll concede the point that maths makes more sense than math, but the way y'all configure dates (day/month/year) is just weird.

@@crucialtaunt5717 it’s not weird at all- smallest to largest. It’s also far more useful given that the first thing you see is the thing you need. The day changes every day, the month not so often. The other way that makes sense (especially for coding) is year/month/day. But at no point ever is month/day/year useful or sensical. I get why USians do it- it’s because they say January 8th etc. but there’s no need to change the way it’s written just for that. And even Seppos say it the other way around sometimes, when they say “the Fourth of July”. There’s no excuse. 😊

They're using my 'teen/childhood' songs for friggin TV commercials now...oh it sucks

i love stuff like this because its great seeing great artist inspire other great artists, plus the people always find their way to the original which is great :)

@@RussellRobinson971 yeah now that io get, thats just really shitty

Lol we all know diddy put the hit out.

Both great suggestions

Good one. Let’s throw in Waterbaby and Bloodsport.

Yeah , the difference between that album , or any decent mix and Puffy's junk style is striking.

HAIL MARY! RUN QUICK SEEEE. WHAT DO WE HAVE HEAR NOOOW
