@@copperblaze22 I get why Coolio would be upset about that. If you're trying to convey a message through a song, and someone wants to make a goofy song about amish people using it, its reasonable to think people will ignore your message, or associate your song with goofy amish people. Gangsta's Paradise is basically about the glamorization of a thuggish lifestyle, and why it isn't a good thing and that you don't want to grow up to be like him. I can't blame Coolio for wanting the song to be taken seriously. At least that's how I see it.

[@copperblaze22]

@@MICHA3L216 Coolio grew up in the height of when Weird Al was making parodies of everyone. He knew who he was and what he did. His ignorance is his own fault. But Coolio made a rap song that was also the unsuspecting parody of a "White Savior Song" who parodied Stevie Wonder's original song. PICK A STRUGGLE COOLIO!

It's funny, I use all sorts of samples in my live shows, dropped in over live tracks and used to cover reloads between tunes. But they're always out of context.....random quotes or audiogenic effects from movies, weird old adverts (along with stuff I record myself). But I'd never lift a bit of someone else's piece, loop it up and put it in one of my own, unless I'd mutated it out of all recognition....and even then, I've maybe done it three times.....and one of those was a joke remix of Everybody Wants To Be a Cat for a mate's party LOL).

@G That's exectly why I asked....because white musicians have stolen entire Genres from black people. And the worst offenders for "playing someone else's record and calling it their own" are often white too.

youtube recommendations are hurting my feelings rn

[@donovanberes]

Pitbull, almost everyone one of his hits are just samples of other songs but I still them, Pitbull is definitely a sample artist

[@ShadowHunter120]

I would have finished but around world looping in my head.

[@owamidlamini9708]

I read that Rollercoaster Tycoon joke and laughed for about 7 minutes. Thank you for getting my morning off to a great start

[@boltorian]

I read it too, and I'm struggling to recall a scenario where there was a rival park that was also on the map, let alone one that you were actively competing with.

[@Mister_Awesome]

It’s simple, you love Daft Punk, I love Daft Punk then I Subscribe

[@DrChrisRespect]

Still remember seeing the gap commercial and liked the song and asking my parents to get me the album lol

[@MisterHughes]

Nice work Coolio, Gangster's Paradise is a DIRECT rip of "Pastime Paradise" by Stevie Wonder.

[@Angelo-dm8lm]

I live in council flats and we have a shared, launderette and my Daft Punk shirt was stolen.

[@Angelo-dm8lm]

I got it back.

[@sarissanhunter7227]

I love that rollercoaster tycoon joke. The fact that I now know it’s yours makes it so much better.

Yeah, the original was a lot better.

That Prince live version of Creep is epic though

I love how the video becomes an insane scrapbook by the end.

@Karl Smallwood - FYI the jurisdiction in space is the same as the country that owns the vessel or module (such as in the International space station) where the astronaut is currently in or tethered to (for extra vehicular activities EVAs). It becomes "international waters" scenario where there is no tether and the astronaut is just free-floating without any country's mission equipment. So they'd essentially have to make their own space suit.

[@yodasmomisondrugs7959]

Prodigy is a great example of "sampling" done right.

[@mbnmac1]

I mean, a bunch of Daft Punk songs are also samples, or clearly using older songs etc

[@pedrolopez3830]

This is true, but they asked for permition, and at the same time thay changed it to make a esthetic, which will i am never did. But yes you are all right, but sampling is not the problem

[@TheChadPad]

Yeah, but this wasn't sampling. This was stealing

[@jjjjj2220]

Not on 90 percent of there ariler stuff

They also never used a whole song

@@jameson1239 like a whole song in term of music they used the main rift witch is coniterd a whole song musical law

Oh damn! I didn't know you were the creator of that Rollercoaster Tycoon story! That's awesome!

[@ezrasyska2698]

Just love this channel

[@gorb9944]

I feel that sampling follows the rules of being a parody like how people can edit videos and post them to KZbin and it falls under fair use :/ as long as you make it your own sound and don't blatantly steal it that's fine but will stole their song and I don't even see soundcloud rappers do that they use copyright free beats or remix it into something original

[@lionsbrew]

Weird Al actually got clearance through Coolio's label for the parody. Coolio apparently didn't know his label okay'd it.

Bra i love this guy. He have so much personality and you can feel the love he put in these videos. Even tho he dose drift off sometimes thats apart of the charm

[@chrissinclair4442]

The Amish Paradise is kinda legendary. Some time after that song came out, all the Amish Gangster stuff hit the news and the Amish Mafia was portrayed in 'Reality TV'.

[@RED89P13]

Who else fast forwards and rewinds to parts that have a picture appear of who u wanted to hear about

[@nottakumi1226]

I posted a photo I took in a social media thread about “your best photo”, and was chastised for “posting a picture from the internet.” I even signed the original before uploading it.

[@doranconall9995]

I'm so glad i found this channel...I didn't know Bo Burnham was English...

[@williamcondit4425]

6:05. Coolio sampled a Stevie wonder song for gangster’s paradise. So that’s ridiculous he got annoyed about someone parodying “his” song.

[@ida6950]

For some reason I always thought artists needed permission to sample a song.

[@4wardnthought234]

Loving your videos bro, and it's good to hear someone else that knows all these details about Daft Punk, the greatest artists of all time (and Michael Jackson's (2nd greatest artist of all time) Dangerous lawsuit defense). Keep rollin

[@SgtxAnus]

8:31 they bring it back to the subject at hand though this is one of the most informative and clever ways to get YT to that coveted ten minute mark for sure.

[@tardisrider25]

I'm not surprised by this. Black eyed peas do this all the time.

[@ravennexusmh]

it's funny cause vanilla ice clearly used a high hat hit on his where there is a clap on the original, which bizarrely sounds exactly the same. hahaha

[@j-tothe-ay]

I'm going to buy some shirts out of spite against those who would steal those designs. Absolutely flawless logic sir, I love it.

[@harryfromwork]

The Rollercoaster Tycoon bit is hilarious.

[@erich3784]

Funny how Coolio isn't OK with Weird Al covering his song while « Gangsta's Paradise » itself is a cover of Stevie Wonder's « Pastime Paradise » Anyway Daft Punk sampled many many songs for their own hits, but I guess they asked for permission each time? At least I hope so.

[@andryuu_2000]

He didn't ask too. Daft Punk sampled, remade and also payed the copyright royalties for those songs

[@sonicart77]

Sampling individual instrument elements (like drum samples) and turning them into something completely new (like a new beat with a different groove) is legal. However the problem is when you sample the hook that defines the song and using it as the hook of your own song, that would be plagiarism

[@karekakeka4143]

Using an instrumental isnt sampling, or a damn remix lmao

[@brandonpurple165]

Funny Story about the Gangsta's Paradise Song, When Coolio jumped on Weird Al for saying his parody was disrespectful, but he sampled Stevie Wonder's song Past Time Paradise and when he had Stevie Wonder listen to it, Stevie called it trash because of all the profanity, so Coolio had to do the whole song over without cursing and stevie loved it since then fast forward to 2011 Coolio apologized to Weird Al

[@Arcadecomponentscom]

Weird Al explains it as he thought he had Coolio's permission, but only had the word of his manager.
