Sometimes its cheesy, sometimes it fits perfectly, thats the fun part is knowing when and how to use them effectively, sometimes they absolutely make some songs , like mr. curtamos - trouble. what would that tune be without the "trouble, doesnt come from knowhere"

It's cheesy when they just shout "Fuck!", but sometimes they really work, like in Loefah's "Goat Stare" which is from Scanners, or "Curse Dub" by Reso

They are best used in the darker tracks

Kryptic Minds - One Of Us
Pinch & Distance - Sick (by far the best use of sampling I've ever heard)
Loefah - Goat Stare

etc etc etc

Downlink vs. Excision - Against the Machines ; the Terminator samples combines with the three different drops really tell a story that depicts Judgement Day perfectly imo...
Mods/Part of a Machine - Orien ; not so story like but does conjure up riots!

If its used in a clever way it can really add to the track. I want more samples from Aliens! 'They mostly come out at night, mostly...' lolz

I think it normally sounds pretty cheesy, depends what film it's from and how it's used in the tune really.

As has been said, its how its done. Can be shit and cheesy or can work proper well and make a song.

Kryptic Minds pretty much have this down and have perfect fitting samples. One of the best is Kryptic Minds - Dissolved, that sample is amazing and proper deep.

one of the worst examples of it is "What Are We Doing" by RUF. It just doesn't work on any level. I'd never want to play a track that samples kyle from south park.
Kingpin by the Others has a nice sample, anyone know what it's from?

Fracture - The Phonecall sampling the Lost Highway's grittier line and the signature evil guy laugh

a- We've met before, haven't we.
b- I don't think so. Where was it you think we met?
a- At your house. Don't you remember?
b- No. No, I don't. Are you sure?
a- Of course. As a matter of fact, I'm there right now.
b- What do you mean? You're where right now?
a- At your house.
b- That's fucking crazy, man.
a- Call me. Dial your number. Go ahead.

Have heard the sample from Blade Runner: Finally the angels fell...etc in quite a few tunes, suits Vex'd the most.
