The evolution of sampling

These days many aspiring artists dont look to far to find the new big beat, they simply look around them and find a relatively recent popular song and sing over it. Almost riding the coattails of that song. Prime examples are Kanye West - Stronger and every one of the A Millie videos. This is the new wave of mixtape culture because you do not need any legal licensing agreements.

Another interesting thing I heard the other day, two artists coming out with a song at the same time that use the same pop sample.

Check them here

Kristina DeBarge - Goodnight

Wale ft Lady GaGa - Chillin
