If Hip Hop was Built by Samples....Why are Royalty Free Loops getting so much Hate 🤔

[@UncleMo65]

I’m 57 born and raised in NYC and I went through that era. Bolo knows his HipHop history for sure. Anyway, truth is royalty free loops are the future of HipHop but the issue is ( and this includes Me) PRODUCERS ARE LAZY!!😂😂😂 We have to chop, slice, reverse, reverb, add effects, etc etc to turn that loop into something real dope and amazing. That’s the real truth.

[@onlymacaroni8015]

Facts

[@drfangaz-pronouncedlikefan4019]

Right on!

[@Knick_Fury]

@unfiltered Same age range, geography, co-sign the take…another part of the problem is visibility….in this age of social media platforms, way more people have visibility, which means you see way more trash….but this issue is not new, the same sentiment existed back in the day (think a Hammer or Puffy beat vs a Pete Rock or Large Prof beat)…it’s WHAT YOU DO WITH THE SAMPLE that matters.

[@saxyrep1]

Yeah, I get it and agree it's easier to take a loop and roll with it but there's nothing that gives me a rush like chopping, reversing and stretching a sample to make it sound different and make a cool beat out of it. Peace!

[@xgskrillax]

Lol i dunno about lazy but we typically handle so much of the creative process and tweaking parameters and editing and blah blah blah any damn help we can get to save time or get audio on track that keeps things progressing is very much appreciated and will be used by many.

[@a-trainchoo8628]

[@koncretebeats]

Facts! Same thing can be said about gear right!? So many misconceptions that if you got the MPCs or Maschine ect... Your gonna turn into Dr. Dre over night 😂 You can have the best loops in the world and never make a hit. All about your skill set an dedication.

[@chubbyboy2242]

I think the issue is, producers used to have to dig for samples and try to find parts that no one else had ever used. You would have to listen to a whole record and have to try to find a few seconds of gold. There was an art to digging for a sample, that was part of the creative process. Sometimes they would loop a section, but a lot of the time they would chop it up and change it until the sample was as unrecognizable as possible. The issue with using these royalty free loops is that literally everyone has access to them. No work was done to find them. And you don't need a producers ear to recognize gold because its already gold. Now if you take the sample and chop it, twist it, pitch it, add effects ect and make it your own that's a different story. But if you just use a loop unaltered then there winds up being a hundreds of beats floating around with the same melody or chords. That is not great in terms of creativity. Its understandable to want to use these samples because clearing samples is hard and expensive, but if your going to use these loops unaltered I feel like producers should just make completely original beats. And/or create your own samples and sample yourself. Just my opinion.

[@reazonuk2362]

that's a good point actually. It's the process itself: digging. Having to listen to songs and identifying the part itself to sample is a skill, it requires an good ear.

[@prod.bylvwlee]

That would be true if all loops were gold. Theyre not. Theres a range of loops that no matter the level of the producer the loop sounds bad. You have to pick good loops still

[@Mutatedchromosomes333]

Exactly

[@peacefulminds3237]

Say it how it is... Anyone in this comment section is capable of making thus dudes beats, he just downloads a loop, copy and pastes it and adds cliche drums. try make a beat on the level of Premier, Nottz, 9th, AL, Pete Rock ...

[@beatsbybigjoe6222]

I just recently got a Splice account. I'll likely get one for tracklib as well. I love sampling. To me it's really the core of hiphop. Theres something really satisfying about digging and flipping a sample. Loops fall in the same category to me. Who cares what inspires you. The way I look at it is, if you're using loops you're indirectly collaborating with another artist and royalty free?! It's a win win.

[@JakeyBoyRaps]

I use splice and I love it! I always think of the mastermind concept...your getting the power of collaboration with hundreds of other amazing producers to create something and put your own spin on it

[@CONT4MIN4TED]

I totally agree Jakey! People don't understand how hard it is to make a beat, then a bass line, then melody, then change all that up for the chorus, intro, outro...etc. but then to do it over and over again for each new song. I think using Splice, as you said, is like collaborating with talented producers. I've heard many samples where I'm like "damn that was creative as hell, I'd never have thought of that"

[@EricRabb]

Bolo this discussion is definitely needed! It’s basically a race bro frfr, especially if you intend to publish, aka make money off royalty free loops, the first to publish wins! It’s a race mane. No issues if your doing it for fun, but if u wan cash a check, first to publish wins.

[@melodyman1662]

I myself love using loops cause it's like being in a candy store and also everyone will use it differently. It does take talent to sing or rap over music/loop and get in the pocket and bring the best out of the loop.

[@NYCE55]

Technology has advanced for beat makers. So many options and ways to make beats. Using royalty free loops help a mil especially when ppl have used these samples over and over. There are loop makers who even make ol'school type loops to get that feel so you can chop up. It's all good and if your as creative a producer then you make it unique then others who may use the same.

[@jaburollup]

As long as you make great music who cares what you use

[@aSpiffyPenguin]

This made me feel better about my stuff. Thanks for the insight.

[@MarcusWallace]

If you’re making dope tracks no one cares how it was made, just the fact it’s dope.

[@alvinedwards434]

For me, the issue is, the loops are so good on Splice that you don't want to lose that feel by chopping it, so you just loop it like everyone else. Honestly, I've been more excited about some of the stem-splitting services now. You can basically sample just about any song/loop and only take the parts you want, so you get added flexibility with the sample. That's the real game-changer!

[@skrypture1162]

Sampling is Sampling I have been down with Hip Hop since it's inception. We sample from Records, Tapes Movies you name it!! Those who claim cheating have made a set of rules for themselves that boxes them in!! Then act like gate keepers even though they have not thoroughly researched the origin of the art form they are participating in!! Royalty Free loops, Paying publishers for sample clearance, Collaborating with other producers or loop makers are all ok ! The end result is the key. Thanks for making this video I have gone over this years ago and I decided to let people like that, continue to get in their own way that way they stay out of mine ...LOL!! Great work Bolo Appreciate you.

[@billbradleymusic]

Slice my dice...you can make your own loops.. I just started looping and sampling. I've been playing the drums for like 40 year's. When the first mpc came out I was like 15. I figured samplers were going to take my job. Now they're just a lot of fun. Bolo!

Equality argument! In my growth, the art I want to make, i realizes its gonnna take more work to make than what i was doing. I think what all beat maker lovers would like... is stretching the artistic works to new bounds, new creations of arts even thiugh built off former works.

[@groophz]

Many thanks for this video. For us who where there when everything began to become popular (you remember Rapper's Delight with the beat taken from Nile Rogers/Chic's "Good Times" in 1979) it was clear that Hip Hop is a culture of recycling what was there and already brilliant (we all are standing on the shoulders of giants). BTW: that was the first copyright claim. Nile got an invitation from Blondie to a Hip Hop event and heard Rapper's Delight on that party. And didn't know that their instrumental was "completely" used. That's why he is rapping to "Good Times" at every concert ;-). He has all the rights on it. It was not a surprise that all the Funk and Soul stars (Bolo mentioned some of them), later from Jazz and from other genres were reused for the beats. Have a look at Grandmaster Flash's "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel" for this (the fist megamix so to say). The DJs played what was popular in the 1970s and so it was a natural development to take the break beats of the songs to get longer beats to entertain the dancing crowd (using two identical vinyls). And this allowed the DJs to shout some rhythmic vocal patterns to incite the crowd. Later this was extended by adding some MCs in front of the DJ and those developed what we call Rap these days. So if we have a look at the history of Hip Hop, this is important to those haters and youngsters in music production, there was always a DJ who recycled instead of creating herself, but in a creative way so that it became a new art. In the days of Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash or Grandmixer D.ST. it was all forms of cutting songs, when Jam Master Jay, DJ Premier and others started with Sampling the cuts became more filigree. Because of the limitation of the sampling hardware the one-shot sample became the base. With the MPC 4x4 grid it was extended to sample kits. So virtual drumming could be done. A pretty flexible way of creating beats those days, like J Dilla did (almost like a drummer virtuoso like Clyde or Jabo from James Brown). If we have a look at the possibilities of producing in-the-box, that started around the 2000s, using loops is a natural next step to produce for every genre. For Hip Hop heads it's something in-between of the break beat cuts in the 1970s and the stuff J Dilla invented in the 1990s. We now get the quality of those live performers (drums, bass, melodies, vocals, etc as stems!!!) but in the most flexible way to recycle. In todays world of fast production and "the new stuff is more important" loops are the answer. You have no time left to do everything on your own. And in the history of Hip Hip, if you really understand the culture, you don't have to do it either to "be part of it". --- BTW: A pretty nice alternative to Splice is Loopcloud. The app/plugin integration with DAWs is the most advanced one at the moment. It makes it pretty simple to create songs from loops. Some examples can be found on my channel in the "Elevator Funk" playlist. Yes, I use loops almost unchanged and get no claims from KZbin. So it is possible. But I don't search for the popular ones at Loopcloud, like Bolo suggested for Splice. I take what sounds good in the situation of creation. I do this with video loops in the same way using Artgrid. Video is king - also for music stuff on KZbin. So a full-blown loop-based approach is not a problem with the suitable mindset - and for me it's the future of production. That's why I have a focus on it for my coaching. ---- I found this funny stuff somewhere on the net to help those haters: "“I thought using loops was cheating, so I made my own. I thought that using samples was cheating, so I made my own. I though using drum samples was cheating so I recorded a live drummer. I thought that was cheating so I learned the drums. I thought that was cheating, so I made my own drums. I thought that was cheating so I made my own drum heads. I thought that was cheating so I raised a goat and skinned it myself, - I haven’t made any music lately, with all the goat farming.”" --- Venus Theory had an interesting video on the content id / splice problem (also have a look at the discussion in the comments): kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppOyoKOVr8aShbs

[@producertheology843]

I actually think hip hop took a horrible blow when they cracked down on sampling so harshly that artist avoided sampling. Producers use to learn about other genres and legendary musicians from reading album liners when sampling. It expanded my musical vocabulary and many times I would sit and learn how to actually play the songs. Today a lot of producers are listening to prior producers who were limited in their music knowledge and why some producers can be very predictable. That in turn has narrowed the listeners taste in music.

[@leogolive]

Great comment 💯

[@LordConstrobuz]

100%. guys like madib and dilla (and plenty others from that generation) were so much smarter and more knowledgeable than any of the young big name producers around now, and that intelligence and knowledge comes through in the music.

Agree 100 %

[@marcsmith8146]

KZbin needs to update their policies. Not only on Splice Loops but Output and even Logic Pro loops. This is going to be a bigger issue down the line. You are correct about using loops, it's really stupid and usually it comes from people that don't know how to create great tracks, songs, etc. Good Luck, Marc

I’m gonna have to back you up on this Bolo. I’m a Boom Bap style producer….. and I studied for years on how to get that right. It took me a little while to understand on how to use loops in splice……..at the end of the day, everyone samples, nothing new under the sun. Music is music, Also when I use splice, I chop or pitch sample loops to keep it original.

[@miguelfarfan4674]

Maneeee thank you Bolo!!!! Putting me up on GAME with the whitelisting and content ID issue. Thank God I seen this before I try uploading my beats to KZbin, BeatStars, etc. 🙏 But my personal take on the royalty free loops, THEY ARE ESSENTIAL FOR ME. I barely started making beats a month ago and sampling is essential to my process. While I still try to make my own melodies/loops, using these royalty free loops is the best way I can get decent content out, and not be limited to my current musical ability. I think producers should be penalized for just getting a loop from splice, not changing it, and simply uploading it. Not anything crazy but the loop shouldn’t be allowed to upload if it hasn’t been altered enough. Producers/engineers need to be original, so there’s no content ID issues. btw Ima for sure need that white listing video…

[@phillipTheUniqueDopeSpirit]

Everything eventually evolves and gets better so you are definitely not wrong I believe that royalty free is good for producers and it gives everybody a chance to be great in their own unique way and I use samples that are royalty free and I make beats from scratch using no samples sometimes as well.

Using loops creatively is a skill and pretty integral to hip hop. Im generally not a fan of people using them without any changes, chopping or modification but sometimes its ok because how well it works with other parts of the beat. I hardly ever use loops simply because ive found i generally make better music when it is an all original composition. But thats just me. Trying to improve my looping and sampling skills now though. Recently just been taking stuff from 100 year old public domain vinyl recordings for fear of royalties. I am gonna check out Splice. 100 loops a month is a lot. Especially when you chop it so much and then run it through a powerful sampler to the point you turn it into completely original synth type sounds too.

I never tried Splice ... I'm my own splice haha!! Arcade is a great tool tho

[@BoloDaProducer]

[@Aaa-pz6nh]

Because part of Hip-Hop is crate digging that was HUGE part of the culture. Part of that is flipping samples that maybe are hard to find or obscure, and going out and digging through records and finding that one hard to find record that’s got the dope sample on it no one knows about. Yeah some samples have been sampled a lot , and a lot haven’t. Some people feel like it’s too easy to go into splice and just type in guitar, and get a guitar loop in key and in time with no drums. It’s almost like shooting fish in a barrel. I use splice but only take mainly drums, and some samples that I chop to make it almost unrecognizable.

[@deemomusic1982]

There are great I love using splice it’s my favorite there is no rule in making a song 🎵

[@dertbom]

Weird Al basically "sampled" entire songs. The only song I've ever completed was done with a Casio SK5 sampler back in the 80's. These days I'll use a plugin like Transfuser 2 to slice and dice the sample into new parts. There's also mixing and matching samples, plus utilizing other rhythm sources. Yeah but for the most part I'll use the whole sample to come up with other parts like bass and chords. They really good to help you quickly come up with ideas.

This is a complex issue really with tracking and having the ability to tag with the distributors. I think it’s fine to use the loops they are free who cares. Problem is if someone else wants to use it and it get tagged because someone content Id tagged it via the distributors. There needs to be a final solution for royalty free use and maybe it is as simple as getting the distributors to add a checkbox that asks if a royalty free loop was used in the song. That way it won’t get content Id snapped… end of problem.

Wow Great Solution! And to add on that, if someone uses royalty, free loops, and does not check the box, there should be a penalty.
