beck samples: 1994 to 1999

here's a video with all of the samples on beck's albums mellow gold ('94), odelay ('96), and midnite vultures ('99)! ive never made a samples video before, but it was super fun so i'll be making more in the future!

[@jonathanbeny]

its crazy how much of those albums are samples, especially odelay

[@christopherbrudzinski7869]

You can thank the Dust Brothers. The producers behind the Beastie Boy’s “Paul’s Boutique”. I’m pretty amazed at the amount of samples on this.

[@jeremywanner4526]

It’s amazing how all the songs he made from the samples are better than the songs he sampled from.

[@KingBoner]

​@@christopherbrudzinski7869Fight Club too, one of my favorite movie soundtracks

[@J4Lvc]

Hotwax is basically just a sample storm

[@fladrarecords]

Odelay is straight up GENIUS

[@MixyTape]

I always thought that scream in lord only knows was beck himself lmao

[@peteburkeet]

Best collage artist of the past 50 years. Hands down.

[@millischill7162]

Hotwax should be studied by generations to come. Masterpiece

[@dani-manson]

When I found out Beck sampled Dick Hyman when I listened to Sissyneck I was blown away

[@BazurbaniHomeVideos]

i dont know why but like half the vocal samples on odelay i was sure that it was some phrases beck was saying because the voices are so similar

[@BrokenKeys216]

yeah same, some of these were really surprising to find that out!

[@BazurbaniHomeVideos]

@@BrokenKeys216 its the modesto drawl

Thank you so much for this. For almost 30yrs now I have been trying to hear 'I walk on guilded splinters' in Beck's Loser; all this time I thought there was supposed to be a Dr. John sample, but now I realize he uses a drum track from another cover of that song. Aaaaah ooohh. Another exiting story to tell at the next party with old friends! :D BTW: I am not entirely sure if all of the samples were actually used as a sample by Beck. I have the impression that a part of them actually have been replayed on the album (and most certainly when played live) but maybe I am wrong. There were many eye openers there, many songs that I know the originals (e.g Jacques Brel) but never ever recognized them. Brilliant! Thanks again.

[@zetetick395]

Paul Weller (from The Jam) also did his own mash up of 'Walk on Guilded Splinters' in 1995 👌😸 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJfcl2SgmNehpsU

[@Songbearer]

This was exactly what I was looking for! Great work!

[@blameitonyaboi]

Dude is a sample god. Thanks for making this video

[@sempercompellis]

wasn't odelay the dust bros (the same guys behind Paul's Boutique) sample city!!!

[@JoshSaitz]

This is brilliant! Please make more! I love seeing this kind of thing.

[@d4t4b4s3f4c3]

Man this is really eye blowing. Great work

[@TheColourflies]

This is insane. Thank you

[@cataj6725]

Nunca me di cuenta lo mucho que samplea Beck hasta que vi este video. Ese hombre es un genio.

[@nowsnothetime]

woah bestie. a banger!

[@gabrielhunt1797]

Thank you for making this!

[@madkem1]

Holy smokes. Mind blown

[@johnspalding]

Dooooope, thank you for compiling this!

[@hamsandwichson]

Great video! One day I heard that song I walk on guilded splinters on a random playlist. Immediately I was like I've heard those drums before!

[@marya4798]

This is an amazing video, thank you.

[@arnoldlayne4593]

thanks for this video- very interesting and surprising to see

[@tundrabee119]

Dang this really helped paved the way for the Avalanches!

[@kiwik3313]

Wow this is awesome

[@adieu9194]

sick!! thank you

[@romainsegaud1180]

Super great job. 🙌🏼 (Credits : beck & dust brothers)

[@JaneDust]

Great video!!!

[@agropop2006]

Great work! thanks

[@kid-ava]

damn odelay is just a sample cesspool

[@lanrostarekonaudio5656]

so are you

[@nilespeshay1734]

Not to be a poophead, but not all of these are samples. E.g. The Dust Brothers say that Beck just replayed Devil's Haircut guitars AFTER listening to the record just before.

[@corvideity]

the videos of him from 1996 look like some of those really old 80s totp videos... i was born in 98 but i feel old

[@zetetick395]

It's sonic Pop Art! ....You KNOW this dude has got a WILD vinyl collection!

[@J4Lvc]

3:21 that really sounds JUST like Beck

[@Hamptonio]

Anybody that samples a Melvins track is okay by me.

[@peppergod]

Hell yes

[@samteller8727]

woaw

[@johnnytimestamp8224]

Dust Brothers made the samples

[@scottschiller]

Thank you for compiling this! I just heard another one, that I don't think has been mentioned before... I am pretty sure Midnite Vultures' "Hollywood Freaks" kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnasfpSprtaim9E samples Tim Maia's "Nobody Can Live Forever" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqGcdaaHfahoo6s just pitched up a bit. (Tim Maia, BTW, has some great grooves.)

[@titizeking91]

Sampler et sans reproches !

[@uncooldispatch5438]

Man those hot wax samples are buried 😮😂❤

[@artbygarth]

Wow! Great list. I had no idea how many bits Beck sampled in Odelay. Here's one more Beck used Jackass, it's a cover of a Bod Dylan Song by Van Morrison and Them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4vIhKaPotinnLs

[@uncooldispatch5438]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@areamusicale]

Not sure if a sample, but the main guitar riff of Loser sounds a lot like a song from Ultramega OK, Soundgarden.

[@2bin]

Nah, listen to the entire sampled track and you'll here the slide guitar riff that influenced Beck was already there.

[@timepiece6300]

The 'Where's It At' drums are not Lee Dorsey. Try Donny Hathaway.

[@robroufla]

Woaw ! How did he get away with this ? Some artists lose all their royalties on a track for just one sample, he uses so many per track. So much stuff I thought were clever arrangements were just samples (provided by the Dust brothers on top of it)

[@lanrostarekonaudio5656]

IIRC copyright law says something like less than 10% of the full original piece is not infringement.

[@robroufla]

@@lanrostarekonaudio5656 wrong on so many levels haha

[@lanrostarekonaudio5656]

​@@robroufla Cool. well it got me looking into it some more. It turned up some interesting info about the subject. In 91 there were cases regarding sampling in music and that 'any amount' of sampling from other's material and used 'for profit' must obtain permission from the owner/publisher first. All of this was going on at a time when Beck was producing music. So, it either must have been unsettled at the time, or he had Label/Contract support to obtain the proper permission. Perhaps his family knew how to navigate the grey areas? Honestly, this would make an interesting documentary on how this all played out at the time.

[@manufactotallerestudio6919]

no surprises at all, real talented, everyone use samplers but no one uses samplers like him Who did this? an AI?

[@edmund184]

Damn it! And I thought he was a genius!!

[@johnnytimestamp8224]

This is actually very upsetting

[@timepiece6300]

Jokes on you, Jack!

[@gothicreggae]

More like Seck, like Seck of shit **mic drop**
