Should rappers use more Prince tracks? The Family should let rappers use those tracks for some songs. Would be curious to hear some decent rappers using those obscure tracks especially. I know the bias against hip hop here. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

Simply put prince was against people using his tracks for samples that shouldn't change just cause he is no longer here with us. [Edited 11/1/16 18:20pm] "love's the only drug we do in here"-Prince | |

Rappers wish they could but Prince (and likely his estate) is pretty nitpicky about samples. "New Power slide...." |

Sample has killed ingenuity and authenticity......
people need to start coming up w/their own music for a change | |

I don't think the rap sound popular now (trap) has much sampling. Maybe that's why a lot of it sounds alike, sort of like reggaeton does. So I think Puff Daddy style sampling might need to come back, at least the songs won't sound the same. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I believe DJ Quik did an interpolation of The Family's "Screams Of Passion" on something, but dont remember exactly what it was. It was very well done, as expected. Katie Kinisky: "So What Are The Latest Dances, Nell?"

Well he surely wasn't against Hammer covering "Soft and Wet" and sampling one of the biggest Prince songs EVER - hell Hammer even recorded the following album at Paisley Park!

Even when sampling was hot and Hip-Hop was young Prince wasn't sampled often if at all. Probably because Prince was from that same era. PRINCE: Always and Forever

Big Boi did for "Mama Told Me" in 2012. Im sure Prince was alright with him. It seemed like he only let people who respect their craft really use his tracks because this was the most outright sample of his music there really ever was.
