[@OliverPyke]

Sampling is not stealing, it's showing a different audience a new perspective on a tune. It's really making new music from old music. There are only so many notes that make us chime. Fatboy Slim has opened many peoples minds, including my own to far older music, and for that I thank him.

[@danielwilder7835]

if royalties arn't paid it is. if you consider the original idea would never have come to be in the first place without the person or artists who first thought of it. as proved by cook losing a lot of his Royalties for various tunes.

[@lundsweden]

I had this argument with a muscian (well, drummer) 30 years ago. He felt sampling was stealing, showed you had no talent ect. He did'nt see the irony that he was in a cover band, playing other people's music in a note for note imitation!

[@NickyMitchell85]

I agree ☝️. It shouldn’t 🐝 classed as stealing. Why all this copyright ©?

[@Fish_Master]

So if you have to buy a sample and don’t pay for it. That is in fact stealing.

[@GoodPintOfAle]

It’s like making new sounds from different sound

[@sock2828]

hey check it out Britney spears toxic sample origin and it will blow your mind

[@imicca]

Eddie Michael it is good, but look up Eminem My Name is and Daft Punk Digital Love. Its like taking best part of original song and building new song around it

[@MysteryMii]

There were so many samples in Rockafeller Shank that Fatboy Slim had to give up all the royalties in order to be able to release the song.

[@raze83]

Nothing new for Quentin.... Same happened to him back with Beats International when Dub Be Good to Me was a hit.

[@dellzincht]

4 main samples, each artist given 25% of the royalties. Madness when you think how often it's been used in other media and the royalties Norman has missed out on. Not that he needs them, of course.

[@chancespang4166]

Basically after royalties and taxes, that leaves just enough in the budget to cover Christopher Walkens and his music video choreography....

Norman Cook actually went out of his way to find Camille Yarbrough and give her royalties for Praise You. He was never out there to steal others work, he was just fascinated how you could put other peoples work together to create something new. True legend

[@LAGANTMusic]

The true legend of the art of sampling. You should be very bright mind to combine first those different songs in your mind and then arrange a track.

Fatboy Slim is the true legend of the art of sampling, but Daft Punk are the true gods. 😁

[@nomorel7884]

@@danielroman9310 Dont forget DJ Shadow or Liam Howlett

[@DecontructRecreate]

Is it an art? Are you impressed by it? Sure it looks good when you first hear them and you get a very good first impression based on the song itself having never heard the originals, but now that I see where then come from, I kind of lose interest in the artist, especially when the entirety of the song is just different samples with a generic beat behind them.

[@nomorel7884]

@@DecontructRecreateIt looks very easy to do when you watch reverse engineering of a sample based track, but it takes a special gift to have that kind of foresight to do it, and a talent to make it all sit well together. If you haven't yet, watch the documentary on the making of DJ Shadows album Entroducing. To pull that off is faaarr more difficult than producing with standard instruments or midi. Check out the reverse engineering videos on YT of some Prodigy tracks being made. Incredible skill and talent to pull that off.

[@Pauldjreadman]

The art of sampling is not making it sounds like it's a sample.

[@maddiejamieson6083]

Thank you for teaching me that the "Right Here, Right Now" vocals are actually by Angela Bassett

For anyone who is interested in listening to the full versions of most of the original songs sampled, you should look into seeking out a compilation called A Break From The Norm. It also includes several songs not listed here such as Higher Groud by Ellen McIllwaine, the guitar sample in Song For Lindy. I've had it since about 2006, the full versions of The Olympic's I'll Do A Little Bit More and The Just Brother's Sliced Tomatoes are great.

[@Gappasaurus]

9:06 So does the sample **specifically** draw from Straight Outta Compton as opposed to just the Amen Break in general? Cuz Norman’s use actually seems closer to the original’s tempo than NWA’s 🤔

[@funnyguy6387]

If you listen close enough in the fatboy track you can hear NWAs “Yeah! Uh!” So it definitely the NWA sample and not the Amen Break itself

“Sho Nuff” also samples David Dundas “Jeans on”. The best Fatboy tune I thought, and it was a b-side!! At the time (2000) there was a brilliant Sho Nuff mashup with the Dundas original over the top. It was so good.

There's a second voice sample in Right Here Right Now that nobody seems to have identified - nobody even really seems to know what it's saying. You can basically extract the sample from the right channel since it's playing alone there at around 3:20 in - but I don't think that sample is meant to say anything specific; I think it was mentioned in an interview that it just sounded good. There's lots of suggestions for what it's saying, though - the most common is "waking up to find your love's not real"; I think the last four words are more "if love's not real".
