A mix of songs with samples and the originals they got it from. If you think about it, just like visual artists, music producers are inspired by the people who came before them. Sample-based music originated from producers who started sampling funk and soul records. This influenced genres across music. Here’s a selection of some of my favorite sample-based songs!
