Flo Rida's Rights....

I just think its funny that he raps over songs that have already been sampled....we are getting to a stage where sampled songs are being sampled again, or three times.

I could care less about the issue but its annoying to get requests for songs that I would usually play the remix or sample of...I already see it coming with this song.

I liked the bingo players version and most ppl enjoyed it when i played it out. Now ppl will come up and say what remix of flo rida's song is this when i play the bingo players song.

Honestly I don't care just the general public's music knowledge on this sort of thing annoys me.

Like when i play daft punk and they ask why Kanye isn't rapping.

This.

He just isn't sampling the song... Just making a 'new song' by rapping over the top of the original and hopefully paying $$$ to the original artists to have their name removed.
It just sucks that the music industry has come to this... But i guess it's a necessity these days

Hi Hip hop, I'm disco, have you met my cousin funk?

Sampling has been going on for the longest. I'm pretty sure he gives credit & pays royalties for his track samples.

Accreditation doesn't mean including the original artist or song title in the release name.

If you read the CD cover, it will say "includes elements of ****, by **** ****".

Which is a good example of down the line sampling, because Daft Punk sampled Edwin Birdsong's Coca Cola Baby to make that track. So on it goes.

You are very wrong there. I read Madonna is being sued for 'Vogue' twenty odd years on for sampling some horns and strings that were 'intentionally hidden'. The samples were taken from 'Love Break' aka 'Chicago Bus Stop' by Salsoul Orchestra, which like Vogue, was mixed by Shep Pettibone. The company suing her is an investment group that buys up music catalogues to make dough. They reckon they have super duper software to spot samples and they're gonna get everyone. They are a pox upon the face of music.

Oh and Flo Rida is bollocks.

Why is this an issue? Remember early rap hits, like Rapper's Delight? They were all based on full songs with raps on top. Of course, Sugarhill Records actually rerecorded the songs with their own band to avoid paying royalties on the recordings, just like Dr. Dre on Chronic.

Good call....learn something new everyday.

Yes, he is sampling Piano in the Dark which is sampling Cry (Just a Little) but you should look into the producers of Flo Rida's track. Paul Bäumer and Maarten Hoogstraten make up the Bingo Players and oh look! Bäumer and Hoogstraten are credited as co-producers of I Cry so they have been given their due. Before you cry wolf about sampling and Flo Rida copying or jacking beats or what have you, make sure you check and see who is credited with the making of the song.
