drums and bass from the intro of chicago, i mean a fairly simple chop, but its the same thing. have you heard the track im speaking of?

listen to "chicago".
 
i did program the drums, and add the bass tones. look dude, its clearly from my recording. if they just used the same break i wouldnt have posted it.
 
Their bass sounds more like an 808 tone to me (well a sine bass anyway) and is in a similar pattern but I don't think its identical.
 
you guys honestly dont hear it? trust me, i worked on chicago for months. its identical. maybe youre listening to the wrong sample, its the SECOND track. heres a direct link to the mp3 of their's:

either way, it doesnt matter, just thought it was interesting.
 
I had to listen to the two together but it sounds like it. So A-Ko. You're saying you chopped the beat and added the the bass stabs? If so it sounds like a bite. If the bass stabs are on the original break, I'd have to do more analyzing before I would go either way.

Here lies one of the sampling conundrums.

I've always believed in the fuck it attitude. I sample, so if someone samples me, I'm just putting back into the pot, so to speak.

Now if I'm a broke ass, bedroom/myspace producer, and my shit ends up on a major release like that 50c audio two flip, then I can see wanting to get some of the pie. Problem is, when you sample, the owners of the publishing and stuff get that piece of pie anyway so all you can hope for is a credit, to mark on the belt and open you up to future work.

If it's your sequence, get credit.

yeah, i mean its not like im going to do anything anyway. even if they sampled some huge melodic chunk, what could i do? i sampled stuff to make my thing anyway. thats just how it works with this shit.

the bass stabs are chopped from a general crook 45. drums are bill deal and the rhondels. id recognize the drum chops and especially the bass stabs anywhere and they definitely sampled my record. no two ways about it. they just pitched it up a half step or maybe a whole one.

Yea DJ A-Trak did that to one of our radiohead breaks that panzah made. He straight took our version and then added an additional drum layer on top... then threw a lil scrappy accapella on top. Like... We weren't tripping, but its frustrating when people straight take your edits of things. And what can we do.... HEY... You stole our stolen song!

I donno tho man. This one is a close call. The bass stabs are from a different song? in the drum break? Or in a later part in the song? Your version is doper to me anywho.

Its like robbing a drug dealer... what you gonna do? call the cops.

Its all good tho.

bass stabs are definitely same ones i used, same pattern with the exact same drum chops. bass stabs and drums are from 2 completely unrelated records. odds are 1 in a million that they happened to chop the drums identically, sample the same bass stab, pitch it up and down in the same pattern i did from the same 45 i did and then use it under a song where it doesnt exactly sound natural, at all...but works regardless.

There is no question whatsoever that they sampled your record.

That shit is the epitome of weak.

It's one thing to sample something new, but taking SOMEONE ELSES HARD WORK who chopped up, sequenced and dug for those records is straight up bullshit.



btw - there's no DJ Tibb.

im not too mad since its the simplest part of the song. the thing that bothers me is people apparently not being able to recognize how blatant it is!

If it were me, I don't think I'd be too mad depending on what it was and how it was done, but still, that shit is pretty weak.
