I'm pretty amazed by how accepted sampling is. You can cherry pick examples of uses and alterations of original works that are made...better, or at least distinct or unrecognizable. But that's rarely the case. What you usually get are unholy abominations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcMfl3UGhOY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcMfl3UGhOY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwIGZLjugKA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwIGZLjugKA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oROoI-bYgGQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oROoI-bYgGQ ...I guess it's partly ignorance on the part of the listeners, who don't know the originals, and don't realize how wretchedly they are being used.

Even though Kanye West gets a lot of flak for his behavior, I think that most of the sampling that he's done (especially on his first 3 albums) has been amazing. Like taking a 2 second sound clip from Steely Dan's Kid Charlemagne and somehow transforming it into the main beat for his song in Champion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XaDeC2LEdA#t=68 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XaDeC2LEdA#t=68

  Wow that was a great video. Big fan of Kanye's earlier stuff and some of the newer stuff, always appreciated the samples but great to see where they come from. Very varied. Everything from classical to Michael Jackson to Daft Punk.
