Mariah Carey Songs and Original Samples (EVERY SAMPLE)

FLY LIKE A LAMB

[@flylikealamb9260]

Just to clarify some things: This Video Includes interpolations, samples as well as Songs Mariah has used elements of. These are All credited, i did not think of them myself. This Video does not include inspirations, eg Best of my Love for Emotions

[@gabelogan5877]

Considering everything you included that is not official samples you should most definitely should have included Emotions she almost got sued for that song and the 2nd note of "high" is a direct copy of the last high note in The Best Of My Love.

And Can't Let Go was supposed to have sampled Right Before My Eyes

MariahPureButterfly it depends on the artist and how they use it.

[@taeyeon7835]

@ani t Agree

[@christophertran9960]

It depends on the usage, but the way Mariah uses them it's absolutely masterful. She layers two completely different songs on top of each other to make a work of art. It takes someone with exceptional taste and a phenomenal ear to be able to do that well

[@MartinHCollection]

What??? lol steeling is creativity now?

[@lateshiachilds3640]

Very true

[@swacman04]

Her appreciation for R&B ahd Hip Hop is why she's so respected in the community. No other other artist is as knowledgeable of their music genre as she is. She is a musical genius and makes those samples sound even better.

[@cecegiles7753]

swacman04 yes...you simply can't get upset with her because she knows the music of every artist she samples

[@michaelbruno1330]

Hello look what she did with val youngs if you should ever be lonely

[@mojoutube]

I've higher respect to her because she remembers and does not hesitate to give credits, praised and does not deny where the songs, beats and lyrics comes from and inspired. Many artist do not do that and claimed they created it originally when they have a team who created and sampled it from others.

[@Mrs.blt84]

Back in the the when her albums were released i used to go to Sam goody, and have them order the albums from which I saw her credit samples in the liner notes of each cassette tape. I actually enjoyed every one of them and learned more songs by each of those artists. The Tom Tom Club album was my favorite discovery and I still enjoy it revisiting it. Although on the Emotions album on the credits on ‘can’t let go’ there was nothing listed and she was sued for not giving credit to the song which was not Keith sweat. I can’t remember what it was, but it was definitely not the song she use for her make it last remix years and years later. But nowadays people say she use that sample for both.

[@nellingwood2]

It's clear she knows about music theory and is well versed in sampling, something that separated her from her diva peers in the 90s. She doesn't get the credit she deserves. Give her all the flowers people. Everyone samples now. She really pushed the style forward.

Nikki Jones not you trying to snap- just stop... weirdo

[@adnap]

You’re wrong. Mariah Carey IS a musician. Walter Afanasieff, her professional music partner and collaborator called her a “Top Line Writer.” This means that she can write lyrics and melodies off the top of her head in the studio. She writes 85-90% of her music, with the exception of her covers and her ad-lIbbed homages. She is classically trained and has perfect pitch. She is responsible for the influence of the R&B and Hip-Hop crossover. She has chosen to make her voice her instrument and primary focus. Just because you don’t play a musical instrument does not mean that you’re not a musician.

[@akmal1306]

This proves that Mariah is absolutely into the hip hop and RnB in her old days and even now.. I really believe her when she says she didn't listen to Madonna when she is still schooling bcz Madonna's songs is not her type of songs.. Look at what music she listens too

[@chantoya17]

Great use of sampling. Girl really loves her 70s and 80s Soul/Funk/R&B and 90s Hip-Hop. The couple of samples that really surprised me were the Bring Me the Horizon song and Rod Stewart song (all this time I never even connected Subtle Invitation to DYTIS because it's quite a hidden interpolation thanks to the completely different melody). Also, I didn't notice Aretha is in It's A Wrap because she's pitched.

Anastasiah Romanova I wouldn’t take it as a discredit to her anyway. She not known as being a composer. She’s a singer song writer. She also references and gives credit. She also transforms the sample to fit her work. It’s homage.

[@adnap]

You notice most of these weren’t Number 1’s. I can only surmise that her bigger hits came from her originality, and she chose to use the samples for her lesser known songs. With the exception of Can’t Let Go Heartbreaker Honey We Belong Together Fantasy Someday Dream lover It seems she mostly saved her originality for her best songs. Mariah is smart like that.
