I find it funny that everyone now likes Paul's Boutique, and calls it a work of genius. I remember a lot of people hating that record when it came out back in 89'.
Not to mention, sampling has been around even longer than early Hip Hop. Brian Eno used it a lot in his early works and often discussed it in interviews. He often spoke of how he wanted to fuse someone like Parliment with a German band like Kraftwerk. Funny thing was, this was
before Kraftwerk were eventually sampled in some famous Rap song that used Trans Europe Express. I'm sure you could go back way before Eno to find many other examples. Not being in the mood nor working on my disertation, I'll leave all the work up to you M1. Maybe it will do you some good.
BTW M1, shove the red pen up your ass! Some of us know when to put it away. Others use it tactfully or get torn apart when they get too red pen happy.
