It’s a brutal rabbit hole and it’s how I ended up in the spot to make my diatribe from above.
If you’re a right brained person with high creative expectations, that kinda “discovery” (ha) can be brutal.
EG the juxtaposition comment. Robots in leather jackets with led lights on their faces playing in a laser light show pyramid? Fuck my face and call me Jenna, I’m in.
But to find out the amount of those songs that are just restructured samples? It no doubt knocks them down a bunch of rungs.
Hip Hop does what Daft Punk did all the time. “It’s a hard knock life… for us…” and a million others. But there’s a history of it, an added layer of the MC on the song, and frankly, some of what I consider to be the best hip hop of all time didn’t do it to the letter like other artists anyways.
Glad you went down the rabbit hole. The blue pill route is boring.
And you said copied. Shit… they just remixed those songs.
