Sampling is still a vital part of hip-hop. And new technology has made the process easier than ever.
Nostalgia riffs through today’s popular music. Two of the biggest songs of the year, Drake’s “Nice for What” and Cardi B’s “Be Careful,” sampled Lauryn Hill’s 1998 classic “Ex-Factor.” While music buzz these days tends to revolve around the actual artists and less around beats, behind the scenes there’s a whole wing of the music industry dedicated to the business of sampling.
Hip-hop is a genre that’s always been based on sampling. And, at times, that relationship has often been very contentious and complicated.
