You know what it is, when an artist takes a beat from another song and uses it in their song. Examples of this practice is shown with Kanye West, in a lot of his songs, pretty much all of them, the most clearest example is in his song Diamonds (Sierra Leon) where he takes a sample beat from the song Diamonds are forever and in Rihanna's song SOS, it has a sample beat from the song Tainted Love by Soft Cell. My question is, why is this so popular a practice? Is it right? It's legal because the guys were smart enough to obtain permission but is it right? Are artists taking a more lazy route? Is sample like quotes from books or are is it plagarism? I would like to know how you feel.
