The flip side of that will probably be though, more songs with no samples at all and be totally stripped down to nothing but a slow cheap sounding beat.

That is exactly the current sound. You have a new crop of young beatmakers that can't even find any good samples, and they sure as hell can't afford to license them anymore.

samples are running out

Everyone may have already sampled every family reunion barbeque hit, but there is always a way to flip something a new way, or world music that went untouched.

I truly believe there is a new young crop of people who just don't know their hits, or the break-beats that are the basis of hip hop. (The ones that do still work in the underground).

I also believe the headache of licensing and giving away one's royalties (even the rapper who wrote entire new lyrics) has made labels change how they feel about releasing albums in this style.

There are hip hop artists that went on to create new funk without sampling:

• Chromeo
• Tuxedo
