I feel that way about a lot of samples in music. And just sampling
culture as a whole. I don't think it's a bad thing, and a lot of
excellent stuff has come out of sampling. On the other hand, I also
feel that it can foster a lack of originality, creativity and
inventiveness on the part of the artist as well.
Of course, at the "my god, how horrible" end of the spectrum are
artists like Puff Daddy who "make new songs" by "covering" classic
old songs from other genres and saying "uh-huh" and "yeah" over them.
That's not even sampling, that's just copying.
ok, i stop now
