oh grow up. i'm sick of seeing lame retorts such as this one... people seem on this list seem to think a great way of responding in a debate/argument is to think of the most insanely stupid example, in their mind, proving the argument to be of little matter to discuss... the above example doesn't even work with or against the argument... my argument isn't against recognizable samples, that one may create them selves...(such as this stupid rubber ducky thing...and for chrissakes, we all know that ernie is a fucking genious...just listen to that rubber ducky song...) the argument is against "phrase sampling" which is taking recognizable chunks out of someones work...such as sampling a full drum-line... then we've broken it down further to discuss the issue of just sampling a snare hit, from said drum line... i'm still synthesis all the way. -joshua...
