I don’t even need to read the rest. It’s obvious that the secret is that President Daniel Carlson took said chief of staff* deep into his arms every night.
*actually an old nickname dating back to fraternity days, and not the president’s real chief of staff
The sample is what’s relevant in the above post.
nobody recognizes it?
not only could you have a hit with only one or two members of the band who could actually play instruments, you could also have a hit with none of the members able to play instruments.
of course, i must add that, in he right hands, the sampler becomes an instrument.
DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing is the poster child for that type of thing, also The Bomb Squad who produced Public Enemy. but even in the realm of earlier hip hop DJ Premier and Eric Sermon and Dre were doing pretty advanced stuff. Sometimes, anyway.
I’d even argue that Beastie Boy’s Paul’s Boutique is a triumph of sampling. The sampler can be, unequivocally, an instrument. And, I’d argue, so can the turntable (witness, for example, nearly any of Kid Koala’s work).
I think you’re playing 3D chess and I’m playing checkers! I didn’t actually hear that video (I would have to go to YouTube to play it, and I didn’t realize how crucial hearing it would be to understand your point) so I was just responding to words on the page rather than video proof…sorry about that!
