ZOMBY

[fractal]

what was the name of that dub tune rusko put a bassline & snare on? then tried to pass it off as his own?

tru powa

[fractal]

bah, that's just one example in a scene filled with them. guess no one was around in the eighties,,,

one of my favorite hip hop producers, 9th wonder, makes beats straight out of loops and get's paid for all of em

just curious as to how y'all feel about dilla? he made a lot of changes to loops but also just used loops straight up... or is it acceptable in hip hop? curious as to where you guys draw your lines

what can't you understand about the difference between sampling and stealing?

Listen to what Reark has posted, actually listen to it, now tell me what Zomby did was just 'sampling'. He's literally just cut the intro, took out some vocal, and added little edits to the drums. That's it. The main body, content, synths, concept, and emotion of the track came from Reark. Yet Zomby feels entitled to release the track under his own name, openly brag about writing it himself, then profit of it without even the slightest credit to it's creator.

How anyone can compare that to cutting up a sample of something and interpreting it into an original piece of music is beyond me. It's not even a copyright/legality issue here, it's the moral bankruptcy of it.

No offence, but anyone who thinks Zomby is in no way in the wrong here is a dickhead. This is pure theft.

that's not what i meant at all, lol

fair play non the less, but that wasn't the route i was going down

[wfg1]

has anyone got a list of up and coming shows zombys "playing" ?

[Naan_Bread]

As a means of apology to the people he pissed off (I'm pretty neutral here, reark got his dues it seems) I reckon Zomby should drop a big ass zip file of all them eski tings

and the jungle/footwork ones.

Dilla stole a lot of techno/house loops without crediting the creators...

But usually once the producers found out they talked to him and he was apologetic and sometimes he even collabed with them afterwards

Ok see thats sampling. Not stealing. Sampling, biting , and stealing are different things. But it doesn't matter. Its minor right !! Moving on...

exactly what you're on about

"Raise It Up"

The song uses a sample from the song "Extra Dry" by Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk. It was initially used without permission, as producer J Dilla obtained a copy of the song from a bootleg recording, and assumed that the artist was an obscure producer who was unlikely to notice. Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo however happened to be fans of Slum Village, and rather than demand a payment for the sample, instead asked the group to remix one of their own tracks; this ended up becoming Slum Village's remix of the song "Aerodynamic"

I think he did this a few other times, because he liked to sample house/techno tracks... I'm not criticizing him for it or anything

Absolute train wreck. Im tappin out lol

RE: DIlla =

Don't forget, Dilla actually created stuff that was worth listening to. I was never a fan of Zomby even back when I thought he wrote his own tunes... but now that yet ANOTHER theft comes out (Natalia's Song is hardly the first) - it is obvious this cat had to rip off in order to become mediocre. It was only his ability to be a dick that made him legendary.
