COPYRIGHT CRIMINALS (FRANZEN & MCLEOD, 2010)
Sampling has been an essential element of hip hop music since its inception (see: Rapper’s Delight/Good Times). This documentary film, released in 2010, examines sampling through both a creative and commercial lens- discussing the legalities of the technique and attempting to answer the question of whether sampling is a legitimate art form or lazy theft. The film features appearances from hip hop luminaries such as Pete Rock, De La Soul, & DJ Q-Bert, all of whom rely heavily on sampling in their work, as well artists whose work as heavily been sampled like George Clinton & Clyde Stubblefield.
Give the drummer some.
