"It's the twenty-first century, MC's please,
you're killin' hip hop
when you
sample the Beegees."
I think it depends on what song is being sampled and in what context. I have no problem with MC Chris sampling Vanilla Ice's "Ninja Rap" in "Bad(dd) Runner." Or MC Lars sampling Brand New's "Okay I Believe You But My Tommygun Don't" in "Mr. Raven." There are some songs, though, where it's just unacceptable. Lil John sampling Ozzy's "Crazy Train," for example, was awful.

There's nothing wrong with sampling in my view. I'd rather listen to a classic motown rhythm than a repetitive drum and bass 'tune' like the ones that seem to be present in most popular music.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
There was a Michael Jackson song background tune that was sampled. Can't remember who copied it though...
Angle by Shaggy used another songs background but I can't remember what it was.
Word/s.
That whole song was a cover, actually.

When you sample bassically all you do is take the instrumental and sing over that right??

Nothing is completely original. I hate artists who claim that someone else's music is inspired from thier music and sounds somewhat similar, and then try to get money out of it by suing. I think using samples from other songs is OK, as long as you don't try to hide the fact that you did so. For example this song uses guitar samples from a Nirvana song. That doesn't make it sound anything alike though.
awhile back, when the "new" godzilla came out(i think 1998 or 99), piddy used led zeppelins "kashmir" for the background, i almost cried.

Actually most pop songs made in the past 10 years has been a
cover or a rip of a pop song that was made in the 80s, which were often
covers of pop songs from the 70s and 60s. And by most I mean nearly
every. ;\
Also don't forget that Puff Daddy actually had Jimmy play, it wasn't a rip
but a collaboration. Then again every song Puff Daddy has made has been
a rip of an 80s song.

Sampling is using any clip from anything in a song. For example, sometimes artists use quotes from movies in their songs. That's sampling. Some artists use the entire backing music to a song in their song. That's also sampling. Really, copying straight-up any audio clip for use in a new audio clip is sampling.
what about Metallica's 'sad but true' and Kid Rock's 'american badass'
That wasnt sampling it was sheer rip of one of 'Tallicas best riffs.
And I'll be damned if that filthy redneck fluffycoat-wearin skinny-boy paid a single american cent for it.
