Producers like Madliab and the Alchemist (which I’m sure many of you will be familiar with if you’re avid listeners of hiphop) are the two that really proved sampling songs themselves is a whole art. It isn’t “cheating” or “copying” it takes so much time and effort to make a sample work. It really is a beautiful craft of its own. A sample I’m particularly enjoying right now is Kayne’s “I wonder” which sampled a song named “my song”. Great sample.

Samples research is increibly fun cause you get the original song of course, but then you also get pretty much most of the songs that use it. Take "Alien Superstar" by Beyonce, you heard that chorus before for sure. It's a different take but the foundation is unchanged. You go back to "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred. Now you know that "Way 2 Sexy", "Look What You Made Me Do", and "Get Sexy" all used this sample. And then there's more, the original song itself also uses samples to make it. Next thing you know went from Beyonce to The Turtles in 30 minutes 🤣🤣

My favorite part about the Ray Charles song (and why I like that version better) is that it is the exact opposite of Kanye’s version. Ray’s version talks about how his women takes such good care of him and gives him money when he really needs it. The Kanye version is basically just, that women is only dating me for my money.

Sampling is amazing to me because it takes the musical themes that one person heard in a piece and it transforms into something completely different. Especially when I want to hear something expanded upon, I love it.

I COMPLETELY AGREE! I love remixes for this reason, along with mashups, edits, flips, redos, covers, all of it! It's a constantly growing collaboration between all musical artists forever. Not only do people build these songs using elements from other songs, but these people also listen to their own library of music they like and they influences how they make music as well.

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.

@jonasvogel3672

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.

One of my favorite sub-genres of the sample is the double sample, like you mentioned with Kanye’s Gold Digger. One of my other favorite examples is also from Kanye, his song Stronger of course sampling Daft Punk’s Harder Better Faster Stronger, which itself gets its main groove from Edwin Birdsong’s Cola Bottle Baby. It’s always funny how that chain can just continue and can end up with a song that sounds nothing like the original sample, yet still shares that connection

Im always cynical about people who remix songs, however, this video will challenge me to think differently. Great job👏

I love remixes and covers and samples. I don't think that people really give them enough credit. And, forgive me for getting my literature geek on, there's a long history of doing that type of thing. From borrowing sonnet form and content in the renaissance to Shakespeare writing new versions of old plays.

Another cool example of this is "Everybody Loves The Sunshine" by Roy Ayers. I've heard the melody be sampled on a handful of rap songs (Shine by Joey Bada$$, Watering My Plants by Larry June), as well as used in a handful of commercials. It's amazing the ability we have to turn existing work into something completely different.

Oh my gosh, I LOVE MAIN STREET! They're my second favourite Barbershop Quartet!!!

I feel that the best type of sampling is when a sample is chopped up and rearranged, pitched up and down in different spots and still sounds seamless.

4 minutes wasn’t enough! This video was awesome!

You’re right, it totally could have used that extra second!!!!!

I think it's cool that older more obscure songs get sampled for modern music, I'd just like to see more recognition when it's done.

There are entire genres based around drum breaks from James Brown's "Funky Drummer" and the Winstons' "Amen Brother".

One of my favorites is John Lennon's Happy Christmas. You know: "And so this is Christmas, and what have you done?" It copies the exact same chord structure, and pretty much the melody, too (of all things) a traditional song done by lots of artists, most notably Peter, Paul and Mary: "Stewball."

I can't stop watching that clip of the barber shop quartet. All four of them have their eyes so wide open. It's crazy.

My girlfriend, who just happens to sing barbershop and is an International quartet champion, literally squealed when I showed her you had a clip of Mainstreet in a video. She also wonders how this video is 3.5 years old and she had never seen it before.

That Labi Siffre song has been one of my favorite bangers for a long time now. Always nice to see him get love.

My favorite one is Centuries by Fall Out Boy, I’ve fallen in love with the song they sampled and I’d have never found it otherwise! Tom’s Diner is what it’s called and it’s so odd but so good!

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.

This is my favorite parts of having been raised on old music by my grandparents. I've noticed only some of the songs that use older songs. And now there's videos and shorts of newer artist using the same parts of old music that the new artists from my younger years did. It's really fun when it's done right, and when everyone can appreciate it instead of trying to gatekeep.

samples are amazing, its taking a masterpiece and expanding upon it in another way

I really needed an excited Hank video today. Thank you for this! 😀

2:22 hank dancing to hotline bling is THE best thing I’ve ever seen 😂

I genuinely think originality is over rated. There’s a huge difference between plagiarizing and working with/from other people’s art, but I think that working with/from is so human. We are human because of how we connect to each other, how we find who we are through other people, and i think that’s beautiful. It’s like a spiderweb.

This is the beauty of sampling... taking snippets of other songs and developing songs in other genres and styles is awesome... when done properly of course... if you actually just took the time to do it right it would be something beautiful

I love how I just did not connect for the second one and then hank goes "wicca wicca slim shady" and Im like :|

I’m old.... I’ve actually heard a few of those.

The Weeknd's "Trilogy" has the best sampling ever imo 👌

„...are built brick by brick“ my brain in the rest of the video: I WANNA BUILD YOU UP BRICK BY BRICK

Interesting Fact: "My Name Is" started out as a sample put together by Dre, he wanted to hear how good Eminem really was. Shady started to spit bars "the hook" to the beat, Dre loved it, and the rest is history. Dont blame Em. Blame Dre.

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.

There's few things I like more than to find the originals of samples randomly or knowing the original of samples in songs I discover. I got the.... is a great example of it because the sample hits out of nowhere around the 2 min mark

This was the video that formally introduced me to sampling around 4 years ago, I’ve been researching and hunting samples now for over a year! (specifically in a subgenre of early 90s electronic music called breakbeat hardcore). Of course when you research electronic music samples you’ll find the obligatory james brown drum breaks, hot pants, amen brother... and so on. But I encourage whoever’s reading to please go to whosampled and check out some uses of 2nd hand drum breaks if you get bored of the above ones. Some of these include “The stone roses - fools gold” “NWA - Straight Outta Compton” & “The Shamen - Hyperreal Selector”

On a related note, I’m always surprised that the music I grew up on, 1960’s to early 70’s contemporary rock, Motown, R & B and jazz, is still so popular today and played everywhere, either the originals or covers. ~ Great vid Hank!

Am I missing something? I can't find that the last song appears in Grove is in the Heart. It's in Bust a Move.

this reminds me of the song "i will always love you" by dolly parton, it got covered by whitney houston and now when people think of the song they think of whitney houston

I'm a music technology major, and finding out how songs are constructed and where samples come from is like my favorite thing of all time... I basically screamed when I figured out what this video was about, bless u hank

Don't be okay with it. There's some great music out there if you look for it.

Did you know that it wasn't just a sample that Kanye used for gold digger, he had Jamie Foxx sing ray's lines to make it sound fresher and newer and without the old mic static

The remixes and reuses and samples are what I love so much about music. There's inspiration everywhere, from everything, and it's often pretty obvious from where. Your style of music depends on your upbringing, who taught you, your favorite pieces, the things you practice, everything! And it's this huge community who all work so, so hard to make these things that are meant to sound like something that doesn't have a sound, or just these things that sound beautiful. Even though there are some who don't put in enough work in their music (I am looking directly at you, record labels who make their artists make cookie cutter music for maximum profit!), enough do that it's difficult to go many places or hear many things that don't have a billion tons of history and work behind them.

Music has such a fascinating role in human interactions-I love discussions surrounding it. Thanks for this video, Hank!
