...gag... The whole idea of "artists" and glorifying people in such a
manner is such crap. "Oooh, look at that work...s/he is such an
ARTIST. Oooh.". Instead of dreaming, do it yourself and get over
it. Demystify the act.

Well quit critiquing and do it yourself then.
If he did do the speaking himself, someone else would just be whining that
he stole the idea from another. It is a no win situation.
...and why are you assuming that just because it is a sample and not his
voice that it changes the meaning (if there is one) of the track? One can
sample and mean something at the same time.

You are making the assumption that sampling takes no thought. It takes
twice the thought...deciding what you want said and then finding it. I'm
ever impressed by Bomb20 who says things using the voices of many. It'd be
a hundred times easier for him to just speak it, but to pull unique
sentences out of samples takes time and a lot of searching.

...but you were. Basically, your argument came down to "it would be ok if
he said it, but instead he sampled it so it is crap". Which seems an
attack on sampling...
