This is an interesting take. A lot of the big artists these days (Doja Cat, Megan thee Stallion, Charli XCX, to name a few) all heavily sample.
In some cases the new hits have multiple levels of sampling; Latto’s Big Energy has a remix with Mariah Carey’s Fantasy, and both sample Tom Tom Club’s Genius of Love. Charli XCX interpolates both Hey Mickey and Robyn for her new song from the Barbie movie.

- bobthepanda 3y agoThere are entire genres (hip hop, reggaeton, dancehall, etc.) that have sampling built into their DNA, and are still going strong, even outside the big acts. And they are still sampling, it's far from dead.
