That has me wondering, where does responsibility lay for sampling?

rynne:
You could probably go back to Stockhausen and musique concrete guys for coming up with the idea of sampling other sounds.

Don't know who the first person would be who made a song based on a sample of other people's music.  Maybe Afrika Bambaataa mashing-up two Kraftwerk tracks for "Planet Rock"?

MilkmanDan:
Well, I'd say Hip-Hop certainly started sampling, at least on the level we now associate with 'sample music'. So IT takes the responsability. My point is that lots of other genre's also now use sampling, so use of samples doesn't make The Go! Team Hip-Hop.

maxusy3k:
The only solid rap artist I've ever been able to stand is Eminem, which doesn't say much, I know... I think that since he raps about the stuff you hear so often in the press then it's easier to hook into the meaning and stuff. His last album was trash though, so I guess he's on the way out.

I enjoy some of the rap metal kind of stuff, older Limp Bizkit and stuff like that, but that's about as far as it goes. Personally I respect it because I can see the talent and skill involved in rapping, but other than that I don't particularly care for it.

DeathrockZombie:
I'm a big fan of Masta Ace, and Nas's Illmatic.
