[DISCUSSION] What do you think about the state of sampling in hip hop: the rise of samples in trap/drill/plugg, nostalgia sampling from 2000s, covering of recent songs or 90s classics from big acts, etc.

Posted: 09 Nov 2021 09:10 AM PST

Been listening to RealYungPhil tapes this morning, the way samples are used are interesting and it feels like this is a trend that's not going away.

On the Evilgiane produced Dr. Phil, samples include "Light Up" by Drake (on Light Up) and Aaliyah's At Your Best cover (on What's the Word)

Some more examples:

NY Drill: 26AR and Tazzo B's "6 Foot 7 Foot", sampling Harry Belafonte's "Banana Boat" that Wayne sampled a decade ago
Eli Rivers - Ain't Safe over a recent Giveon song
Shawny Binladen and The Yellow Tape Boyz rappping over stuff like the "give us what we need" sample on Yeezus or over Ray Charles or over 80s R&B or over Zelda or Barbara Streisland or re-doing "Can I Live", "Gin & Juice", "Today Was a Good Day"
Memo600's "Exposing Me" and CJ"s "Whoopty" are over "Sanam Re"
MTA Shifty rapped over the Mr. Softee's jingle
Sos B4L rapped over quinceanera banger "EL BEEPER"
B Lovee's "IYKYK" flips Wayne Wonder's "No Letting Go"
Kay Flock's "Being Honest" flips XXXTenatacion's "Changes"
Sleepy Hallow's "Deep End Freestyle" samples Fousheé who contributed to a sample pack which became a riddim of it's own
Tazzo B's "Bang Bang" and Bizzy Banks' "Extra Sturdy." use vocal samples similarly to Sleepy
C Blu's "Irreplaceable" (sample: Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable")
Dthang's "Talk Facts" (Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know"
someone did Simple Plan's version of the Scooby Doo theme song
someone did Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger"
someone did Dick Dale's "Miserlou," aka the surf-rock song from Pulp Fiction
Polo Perks and Surf Gang's squad of producers put out Punk Goes Drill, a mixtape that slices up pop-punk hits and weaves them together with drill percussion.
Bandmanrill pounced on the sample-heavy Jersey Club beats of producer Mcvertt with a no-frills, drill-inspired delivery.
Yungeen Ace and Spinabenz, turned Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles"
Foolio responded with "When I See U," which takes Fantasia's smitten 2007 hit
YTK released a trigger-happy version of Mariah Carey's "Shake It Off" called "Let It Off."
Xanman and Lil Dude put a tough-talking spin on Bow Wow's attempt at being romantic on "Let Me Hold You,
OT Genasis' 2019 remix of Keyshia Cole's "Love"
YungManny over La Roux's "Bulletproof"
Uzi on That Way and the Backstreet Boys
BMG and "Feelin Myself" by Mac Dre

Separately, even in established circles: there's been a lot of Three 6 Mafia samples lately, including basically re-making beats from people like Schoolboy Q, Isaiah Rashad, A$AP Ferg, 21 Savage, G Herbo, Cardi B, Freddie Gibbs. This feels like a completely different trend.

Rappers re-making 90s classics including Travis Scott (5% TINT with Goodie Mob), Rick Ross' album Mastermind has a lot of these (Souls of Mischief, Biggie, Pharcyde), Isaiah Rashad (rosegold), J Cole (everybody dies with ATCQ), ALLBLACK (How I Feel with 2Pac), Glockboyz Teejae (After Laughter and Wu-Tang), Kanye (Believe What I Say with Lauryn Hill), Logic (whatever that song is with Can I Kick It), Young Thug (High with Elton John), etc.

The trend with hyper-violent stuff over Kristin Corey wrote about in Noisey I think and Alphonse wrote about in his Column

For the sample drill/plugg/who i smoke trend: It seems like for the most part, this is a bottom-up trend from rappers that A&Rs are trying to catch up with, rather than coming out of Atlanta's established, heavily polished guys like Migos or Young Thug or Gucci Mane.

Is sample drill a cheap gimmick or is it a welcome advancement from the non-sampling trap beats of the early 2010s? Chipmunk Soul in it's inception was sort of it's own gimmick.
Will these songs stand the test of time at all or is sampling something so popular bound make it age much faster into obsolesce?
Were rap fans at the time in the 90s, who had less remove from the 70s and 80s where samples were found, also noticing samples to this extent?
It's seen people say it's biting to sample recent popular songs (usually singling out Logic): what makes it biting and what makes it cool?
Are stuff like re-makes of 90s hits good for bringing those songs to a new generation or should listeners be looking back to the 90s themselves more?
Alphonse Pierre said "The only appeal of these sample drill tracks seems to be: Oh, isn't it so ironic that they are rapping about violence, struggle, jail, and death over this bright and bubbly rehash of a song I used to hear when I was a kid." is that right?

idk feels like that's a bunch of stuff to chew on. If you have more examples go for it or more insight idk.
