?? Straight Outta Compton has tons of samples!!
some of the songs on Straight Outta Compton have a sample or three, only two or three use a bunch in Bomb Squad-influenced fashion, and he made idk a couple of hundred records that aren't Straight Outta Compton

there's probably as much sampling on The Chronic as on his previous records added together

I don’t get why “Con Altura” is the year’s consensus Rosalía track, when “Aute Cuture” is such a hotter jam!

yeah my point re Dre is that he had a fairly brief period of sampling (ie once he could afford it), mostly used them very sparingly when he did*, and The Chronic was probably the peak of his sampling period, not a throwing off of shackles to which he had been inexorably bound for eight years -- and his additionally using live playing on The Chronic was standard across his career to date, not an unprecedented innovation
* the track 100 Miles & Runnin' is a WILD outlier

― The Mandymoorian (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 2 January 2020 21:17 (four years ago) link
The Dre productions from 1987-1991 are absolutely bursting with samples. He was a Bomb Squad fan. Suggesting otherwise is insanity.

There's parts of the 8-Ball remix that are like Steinski or something, foh with that

dre has consistently sampled throughout his entire career. getting musicians to come in and replay a loop of a leon haywood or david axelrod record is "technically" not sampling outright, but c'mon.

this is my favorite sample-heavy/proto-Bomb Squad/peak era Dr. Dre productionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXGgWf2lacM
(also love how the main JB sample is from an outtake/"untitled instrumental" that was first released *that year*)

Did you hear Dave Grohl recruited the surviving members of Nirvana, along with other individual people that do have actual names, for a performance?
― Evan, Thursday, 2 January 2020 22:02 (four years ago) link
OK so I guess there were technically players besides the core 3 but it sounds like an intentional way to frame it to get better SEO than simply "Krist Novoselic". I was amused by this.

While k bye for now may not have much new information, it builds on our understanding of Grande as an artist.
not to pick on this particular reviewer, but this sentence sort of sums up the trend toward treating pop artists as Rolling Stone used to treat, say, Jackson Browne back in the 70s.

xxp Yeah, the Ariana review is fine -- but the overarching theme of whether "we need" a live album (or whether it's "necessary") is strange, especially considering it's a digital-only release, aimed mainly at fans, etc.

Lol. The write up of the former reads more like a 7.6 tbf, have you heard it?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 8 January 2020 14:46 (four years ago) link
Not yet, but I'm a fan of most of those composers and can hardly imagine their works for solo violin & electronics being less compelling than Jesus Is Fucking Born.

There is an egregious grammar mistake in the first paragraph of that Kanye review.

lmao at the description of the choir, which really comes across like the author has never actually heard a choir before

For someone who built his earliest songs out of extracting vocal loops from obscure, sometimes decades-old songs, Kanye has seen the way musicians can be resurrected and given new life.

Or at least giving it to someone who knows what a choir is and therefore wouldn't write The Sunday Service Choir as a whole also seems to be taking cues from groups with no real lead singer like the Fisk Jubilee Singers, the Dixie Hummingbirds, and the Blind Boys of Alabama as if it was searing insight.
