Those were the early days when that happened a lot more. Check the first 4 Roots albums and you can't not acknowledge the wizardry in their music. Real band right there.
Also, all of the great Jazz musicians were constantly riffing on each other's music. That is standard practice. There was a big thing from the 40's through the 60's where jazz musicians would take the harmony parts of someone else's song and put new melodies over top of them. It is tribute and a sort of communion between those in the know.
I dig Blueseum, poetry with a real jazz band, etc...Dame used some real tracks..I liked a large portion of the recording...couple tracks were not my thing..love the counterpoint vocal stuff....I connected with that aspect through Spike Lee movies like Mo Better Blues when Denzel raps over his bebop group...that's cool stuff Sampling has it place but I draw the line at music where a robot determines the groove...doesn't work for me
Damian Lillard Says He Was Forced to Remove Lil Wayne's Feature From 'The Letter O' http://www.complex.com/music/2016/1...mplexmag&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social
Lillard was also forced to remove me from his album. Something about me not allowed to be within 300 yards of him and his family.
Yeah I mean there was so much transformation of the samples happening, so many layers, that it really was an art form on its own. That era was a lot of fun.
