Music is in a constant state of change. Musicians are inspired to recreate great songs and transform them into something completely different. What was once a popular love song in the 80's can now be a hip-hop ode to the struggles of growing up. Or a popular rock song can be sampled into an R&B song and the meaning completely changes.
Today, musicians sample songs that were originally written and recorded by other artists more than ever. Some people admire their creativity while others believe it is "stealing" copy-written music and is not innovative at all.
This site will take a look at different music artists who have successfully created popular records by sampling older music as well as how it has affected the initial music creator, if at all. It will give examples of how different music artists can sample the same song, and how different it is each time. It will also explore how this culture of music sampling is growing and somehow beating the legal system.
