    That Len one blew my mind. I listened to that song as a kid and I never knew that it was a sample. I hate that I recognized the Pitbull song that one of the samples came from. I didn't know a lot of these were samples, I just happen to recognize a lot of the snippets (it's fun guessing and knowing the songs). These videos are cool.

    @@htdmc2010 Come as you are for example. Sure the riffs are very similar but if Kurt Cobain is to be believed (which I do), he didn't even hear the song back then. Sure Offspring sounds like Why Don't you get a job but its not a sample either. While intentional, a sample is literally taking an original song unchanged and putting it into a song. The way the song is is similar (if not identical) but the song has new words, new instruments etc. So inspired maybe but not sampled.

    I was a Fan of Nirvana specially and the unplugged is unforgettable. But i was shocked when i heard the Killing Joke song because the riff is unfortunately exactly the same only the killing joke one is faster. What you mean is a direct sample but there are also interpolation samples mimicking the same rhythm/Vocal/Melody/Riff... The Offspring one has the same generic Melody so that doesn`t count and technically seen you are right i checked it again the Vocal part does not fit to the Beatles one. If one thing is similar then it goes off as coincidental but besides the Melody & Vocal Part the singing style and even the lyrics are similar to the Beatles Song. But i know what you mean it is probably not Counted as a Sample.

    For the next "Hit songs samples" you could add Rihanna - Red Lipstick. Chase & Status produced it, and they have a Metallica - Wherever I May Roam sample in the track Red Lipstick is based on, Saxon. So Metallica credits on a Rihanna song... I've always found that funny. :-D This one is purely speculative, as there aren't any credits to back it up. Rob Swire worked with Stargate to produce Rihanna's Rude Boy. Check out the melody from Pendulum - Watercolour (Rob Swires group) and compare it to Rihanna - Te Amo. Te Amo and Rude Boy are from the same Rihanna album, so my theory is that Rob got a little too inspired when he heard Te Amo while producing Rude Boy.. :)

    I find it shocking how from 2010 onwards the sampling became more and more grotesque to the point of just adding some minimal sound gimmick on top of it or just plainly speeding up the original to create a new song (which incredibly became a hit). Certainly mainstream music became crappier year after year since the 2000's.

    You know, I've heard creative sampling from the likes of Masta Ace and Gorillaz but those are a rarity. So many of these "samples" just scream creative bankruptcy to me. Its gotten to a point where I wonder if there's even a reason to go see these rap and pop artists live if practically nothing is actually played live or their creations to begin with. I suppose what gets my knickers in a twist with the sampling is the blatant lack of appreciation or proper credit and reference to the original artists or songs. THEY had the creativity and talent to create all the beats and riffs you hear in these songs.

    @@thapoint09 I'm not speaking about commercial music but the classic old school hip hop pioneers, they actually invented the amazing art of sampling and the whole genre as well as modern DJing, it's part of the game. It's fundamented on extracting dope samples from classic funk/soul/disco hits and creating a brand new and original song from it... same were doing the pioneer DJs like Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and so on when they stared to cut and mix breaks and samples. They all made history and had mad originality, they changed music somehow (while they all had great music culture and respect for real soul and funk musicians). Most were poor guys who just wanted to stand out and so something really cool, not success. Times have changed though. Same did the house music pioneers in their own style with classic disco tunes. Can't even make comparisons with what the mainstream, EDC crap and pop artists nowadays do. They can imitate but never replicate. Sampling became a norm but it used to be fresh back then, producers had taste and a vast knowledge of the music. Now producers won't hunt for dope or new samples on old vinyls like hiphop and house pioneers did, they would just sample what others already did without even giving credit to the original artists. It's ridiculous. Art is strongly based on imitating or getting inspired and giving a new twist to what others have been doing already... that's where the difference between real artists or mediocres is, some just imitate and follow the trends while others set their own trends.

    ​@@BocaNejra Don't try to move the goalposts on me now, your claim was sampling was more creative in the 90s (the 90s, not the 80s or mid-late 70s, when all of the pioneers were most active), I listed several examples that proved otherwise. (Besides, what they were doing was new *at the time*, but today you realize they were just looping disco breaks. Sampling didn't really take off until the mid 80s, e.g. South Bronx using one James Brown brass hit as the basis. Also your exact words were "mass-produced hits for the *mainstream*", so... yeah.) You claim sampling these days isn't creative? What about WondaGurl pitching down and chopping up 3 seconds of an obscure Bollywood song to make Travis Scott's Uptown. What about YAH. by Kendrick Lamar reversing and slowing down two seconds of a Billy Paul song? The Alchemist flipping Poverty's Paradise for FEAR. off the same album? Kanye West pitching down and reversing a riff from a Persian disco song on "Feedback"? Just Blaze chopping up Super Freak on Jay-Z's Kingdom Come (one of the highlights of JB's career IMO)? Reazy Renegade turning the Psycho sample on its head in Phone Jumpin' by Dave East? Ronny J chopping up *four* slowed down notes from some other Bollywood song to make Ultimate by Denzel Curry? araabMUZIK chopping up the intro to some 50s pop hit for The Hope by Fabolous? Death Grips speeding up a snippet of a Jimi Hendrix song past the point of recognizability and using it as a _sound effect_ in their track Punk Weight? And I haven't even talked about all the old producers like Premo and Pete Rock that are still active today. Do they not count? What about No I.D.'s Jay-Z's 4:44? That whole album had some of the best sampling of 2017. Furthermore, you can't claim people aren't hunting for new samples when the genre pool form which people sample is wider than ever. Gone are the days when all anyone took from was jazz, soul, funk, and R&B. Now, more than ever, people are looking towards world music, ambient electronic pieces, and cartoon/anime soundtracks, things only a handful of producers sampled, and fewer still on a regular basis. People like to cherrypick to make their point. Hell, I cherrypicked in my original comment (I didn't mention tracks like The World is Yours, You Can't Stop the Prophet, etc.) But just like I can't claim sampling in the 90s sucked too because MC Hammer, you can't point to a few huge chart-topping hits and go "that's what sampling is like now". I'm tired of people looking at past eras with rose-tinted glasses and acting like there was some kind of renaissance happening.
