I just see the person who 'created' the sample as the original recording artist. This is a perpetual debate =D. Although I'm not sure its black or white. A goo

I just see the person who 'created' the sample as the original recording artist. This is a perpetual debate =D. Although I'm not sure its black or white. A good artist can use a "sample" in the same way a panatone color is used by a pointillist painter. At that stage, its all about the spectrum of color, the contrast, and the entire effevt of many points of color...not just the quality of the sampled pigments in any one brush-stroke.
