“Who cares what people think. Some people have success sampling and some don’t. It’s easier to sample that old sound than it is to reproduce. I can’t get a drummer to play them old beats. They can play the patterns but you’re not going to get that old sound because back then they recorded in rooms with wooden floors, big acoustic rooms, they had old ass big nuemann mics and other elements that made them drums tight. If you really want that old sound you’re gonna have to sample. If you want to replay shit that’s cool but if you use somebody shit and don’t pay them then you’re stealing. Their old ass should be happy that you sampled their old shit.” - DJ Mark the 45 King
