Slide 2: First, I will be discussing context.

Slide 3: What is sampling? According to google “ In sound and music, sampling is the reuse of a portion
of a sound recording in another recording. Samples may comprise elements such as rhythm, melody,
speech, sounds or entire bars of music, and may be layered, equalised, sped up or slowed down,
repitched, looped, or otherwise manipulated.”. In simple terms, it’s where music is taken from another
musician (nowadays with consent) and altered to fit the new musician’s needs.

Slide 4: Where did sampling come from? Physically, it originated from parts of New York and surprisingly,
LA. But, it’s most recognisable pipeline was that of the 70’s disco to 80-90s hip hop. Hiphop started using
records in a way that they hadn’t been used before - the iconic idea of scratching records. This is where
they would physically move the record on the turntable, resulting in the rewind of a certain part of a song,
more specifically the more popular parts of a song. They would continue to do this, sometimes making
marks on the records in order to mark a specific part in the song that they use often. However the idea of
putting words on top of records and scratching them on turntables didn’t come around until the late 80s,
which is when it really started to take off.

Slide 5: Nicki’s song Anaconda is actually a big example as to other reasons for sampling, her song is what
is known as a tribute. Tributes are often made in order to either show respect to the original creator, or in
rare occasions, to diss them. In anaconda, Minaj has several of MixaLots original voicelines in there, as
well as using the same instrumental with incredibly minor, unnoticeable changes.

Slide 6: Generally, stealing music is a violation of Copyright laws, If you take a copyrighted recording and
use that in your music without permission from whoever owns the master recording, then you are violating
said copyright law. You can legally use music in videos if you have permission from the person, people, or
company who owns the rights. Since the publisher and the record label usually hold music rights, you'll
have to get permission from both from the publisher or composer,or you'll get a sync licence. However, if
you are accessing a sample pack or using a sample that is free, then you have all right to manipulate it and
use it in the way that you please.

Slide 7: There are many modern day examples of sampling, for example: IVE’s After Like is sampled from
Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive, 69Boyz’s Tootsie roll was sampled from Tag Team’s Whoomp! There it is
and Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda was sampled from SirMixaLots’s Baby got back - in fact Nicki makes
SEVERAL references to MixaLots original songs and even uses the OG track predominantly, instead of
altering it slightly like many other artists. This isn’t illegal as all the creators have given permissions to the
new artists in order for them to use it, however, cases like Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice resulted in a lawsuit
as he had not acquired perms from the original artists.

Slide 8: Havoc Breaks Down His Infamous Classic Sample Kit (Shook Ones) - He’s behind one of the most
successful rap duos of the ’90s (and a little track called Shook Ones (Pt II)). For NYC legend Havoc, it all
started with cassette sampling, loop recording and old school classics.
The Infamous Classic Kit, built exclusively for LANDR, is a throwback to those early days—a collection of
vinyl drums, loops and one shots from unearthed Mobb Deep samples.
