/vr/ - Retro Games

>As a big fan of retro games and hip-hop

I fucking hate hip-hop

none of those dildos did jack, their producers made their beats and music.

That they stole shit from a video game is fucking pathetic, not to be celebrated.

Scha Dara Parr sampled Mario in this song

I think it was used in the Japanese commercial for A Link to the Past.

not to mention the lyrics are fucking crazy for a hip-hop song (talking shit about bernie stolar, etc.)

You DO know they have to pay royalties to the artist to use that sample, right?

>>2247136
not necessarily hip hop but thundercat used some sonic samples in this song. One for sure is when sonic gets hit from spikes

Royalties do exist, you know. Besides, what about all the instances where video game music stole from other music? So yeah, Zombie Nation ripped off Lazy Jones, but Lazy Jones ripped off Fade to Grey, 99 Luftballoons etc. It happens a lot on both sides.

what a retarded idiot.

Holy shit there is some fucking mad in this thread. In any case, no, credit does not need to be given nor royalties paid depending on amount of sampling done. Taking a phrase to make a beat or individual notes/effects is done all the fucking time. It only becomes a problem when you pull some shit like Timbaland/Nelly Furtado and Tempest/AcidJazzed Evening. Even then, not much may come of it.

It even goes both ways; Doom is notorious for the amount of blatant 'sampling' of all sorts of early 90s alternative/metal music in its OST. They knew the exact legal limit they could sample without giving credit and went to town.

I'm pretty sure that in the case of sampling (ie taking the exact same musical phrase) you have to pay royalties if its on an official release,
if it's on some free material people don't bother to sue.
Also for Doom music it's not called sampling but yeah, the difference is not that important.
And as some other dude said it even happens in a lot of musical genre

You find them on Mixtapes as well. There's a D12 mix that samples Soul Calibur.

Sick bait bro.

Madlib samples Sf2 on this skit on Madvillainy.

this is a great thread OP, but the majority of people on /vr/ are too old to listen to this

Not hip hop but Mr. bungle used a few Super Mario samples and underwater music on their self titled album.

They used samples from pinball machines too. Earthshaker at the beginning of My Ass is on Fire and Cyclone multiple times in Carousel.

>>2247268
