More! More! I love hearing the stuff I already know spit back out all pretty and shit. It makes describing what I do to my parents much easier :hihi:

Seriously if you like that video you should pick up a copy of the book "Black Noise"

This is an interesting video, but I reject many of its conclusions. It's just plain insulting to assert that the cultural and artistic innovation that results from sampling is more important than the rights of the artists who created the sampled works to begin with. If anything, thier impact on culture and art should be rewarded.

This person's perspective is about as fresh as the old analogue vs. digital debate, imo.
If every KVR member wrote one review a year we'd have 1340 reviews each day!

Christ that guys voice is boring. I agree that that loop has been extremley important in the development of many genre's that he mentioned, but i think its extremely difficult to name one loop/groove that is 'the' most important sampled groove in history.

worst.......voice.........ever.

Interesting how many different tunes this one beat has shown up in.

From a practical point of view, when the loop is mangled beyond recognition, it would be pretty difficult for the original artist to enforce any kind of property rights.

I wonder what Zero-G has to say about this!?

most famous loops is the incredible bongo bands apache
I believe every thread should devolve into character attacks and witch-burning. It really helps the discussion.

very interesting, however the whole thing is a big waste of bandwidth - what should have been an mp3 is a 20min movie of a turntable and a guy on a chair

Maybe because I don't watch MTV too much, but I have never heard that "world's most famous" drumbeat being played anywhere??

All the examples given on that site is totally unknown to me. I'm sure it is not used as much as Ringo Star's off-beat drum beat though.
