Hip Hop and collaborating

The readings for this week were very interesting to me for multiple reasons. First, I am a huge Hip Hop and rap fan. Second, it made me think about all of the songs I know of that have samples from other artist. The first song I thought of was High Way 85 by Migos. In this song they sample a beat from the group NWA. Not only do they sample part of the beat but they also rap with the same flow that NWA used to rap it. This is only one song of many that has been sampled in the Hip Hop/Rap community. I find it really cool how in the rap community many of the songs created have parts or aspects that are sampled from other artist or music from the past. The other day I was listening to the song "Get Stupid" by Mac Dre. This song has a very catchy beat and is liked by many people. However the beat was not created by Mac Dre, it was made by Dr. Dre. in the song Mac says this "This beats poundin cutty whered you get it? Oh you didn't know dr dre did it". I found it really cool how he gave a shout out to the man who made the beat, so not all credit goes to him.
