The factor of money is a major issue in the muisc business, sampling a song is okay in my book as long as the orignator gets credit for there work. Such artists as Jay-z & Kanye West, Jamie Foxx, etc sample music all the time, but some artists don't give credit to the orginator. All music has been sampled no one owns a beat, you have to pay for great music. People have been sampling songs for years but when artists started to find out about it they wanted money for it or credit. I believe it's wrong for any artist to sample someones music without some type of agreement with the orginator.

Music is Music sampled or not, some music is good and some not so much. Remaking music is the new thing everyone wants to remake a popular artist song.


I agree 100 percent with you on this issue. As long as proper methods are taken to pay the original artist monetarily and payed with due credit I think sampling is fine.
