Elsme Music V National Broadcasting Company Case Study

Sampling nowadays is so common and some artists have taken it to a level that it is an art to use samples. If used correctly. My paper will focus on how sampling became a new way to create songs. And expose how big the sampling industry is. Web pages like Beatport sell samples and stems. So Dj’s can download them and mix them live. If a piece of music is distorted, might that be transformative and even be fair use? Using various resources and examples I will discuss whether should or shouldn’t there be a compulsory license for sampling.

Most trap music tracks involve 70 to 150 Bpm (beats per minute), that have been met with the artists voice being pitched by a synthesizer. Synthesizers are often used to imitate unnatural and innate sounds so that they can be put into a song by a DJ. Dance music is incorporate through the usage of remixed songs and style sampling. Dub music’s frequencies are used to imitate a repetitive beat threw out the entire song

Sampling is a technique that many artists have used for decades, when given the opportunity to record a new track. Sampling has transformed the music industry, by allowing an artist to broaden their horizons, and give people the ability to have a different outlook towards a particular song. Often times when a producer is trying to assist the artist or group, they will present the artist with many beats and mixes. Of the beats and mixes provided, a few of them may be a sample of another artist’s work. Often times when an artist or group admires the work of another artist, they will get their permission to sample their music and incorporate into the work that they are about to produce. Another reason an artist may decide to sample the work

In 2002 and 2003, Fox Television Stations broadcast the Billboard Music Awards, an annual program honoring top-selling musicians. During the broadcasts, one musician used an explicative in his acceptance speech, and a presenter used two expletives. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), although it had previously taken the position that such fleeting and isolated expletives did not violate its indecency regime, issued notices of liability to Fox for broadcasting the profane language. The FCC argued that previous decisions referring to "fleeting" expletives were merely staff letters and dicta and did not accurately represent its position on the matter. Fox appealed the FCC sanctions to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

Why did people capitalize on and emulate the sound of hip-hop to the point where it grew into a culture if it was so individualistic? How would sampling exist without deejaying and if it can, how would it fit into the schism of hip-hop? How are there even female deejays and producers if the culture was so masculine? What motivated those women to become who they are if most

Beginning at 0:09 in “My Name is”, Eminem uses sample appeared at 2:31 in “I Got the…” as a major rhythm for the whole song. Sampling is one of the most common elements in the hip-hop music. Sampling is the act of using recordings of other music in making new music. In the hip-hop music history, sampling is always a controversial topic legally and musically since sampling relates to the issue of the copyright of the music. Does sampling violate the other musicians’ copyright? Does sampling threaten the innovation of the music? Those questions are the most sensitive debates about sampling. Sampling begins in mid-1970s, when DJs mixed between particular parts of records, especially the breakdowns, to inspire dancers in the party. The technique, such as spinning and scratching the record while it played, can be considered as an early form of sampling in hip-hop music. In the mid-1980s, the primary use of “sampling” as a basis of the beat is a main shift in production. “La Di Da Di” produced by Slick Rick and Doug E Fresh is probably the most sampled song in hip-hop. Sampling has three “layers”, which are the sound, the reference and the intertextuality. The artist may use sampling to refer the older piece’s context or refer to other people’s use of the same sample. There are some famous cases regarding sampling in the hip-hop history. For example, “Pretty Women” produced by 2 Live Crew was sued for using Roy Orbison’s song. As a result, 2 Live Crew won on the basis

The birth of hip-hop is credited to the DJ, or actually three DJs: Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, and Grandmaster Flash. Turntables were being used in the discotheques, but with the advent of the mixer DJs were able to mix two records together to keep the beat going. These hip-hop pioneers did much more than just remove the lull from the dance floor. They began sampling, which clearly enough, is sampling other records to create a new beat. Loops were used from the drum breaks of past records and DJs began the popular tradition of scouring record stores for rare or unheard of music from across the globe, hoping to make "the perfect beat." Grandmaster Flash is credited with having invented the technique of scratching records, which is done by reversing or pressing forward the

Hip hop music has delivered messages of freedom of expression, unity, peace, and protest against social injustices, for the past 30 years. But exactly when and where did it begin, and what impact has it had on our society? The hip hop beats created by DJs in the 70s actually sparked what is now known as hip hop culture. Hip hop culture originally included rapping, break dancing, graffiti, beat boxing, and looping and scratching, and has now includes urban clothing and cars, speech patterns and slang, and movement styles. In the early 70s, in New York 's South Bronx, the music genre of hip hop was born. The man behind its birth was Clive Campbell, aka DJ Kool Herc, who was from Kingston, Jamaica. DJ Kool Herc began to use two turntables to bring out the parts of the song that people liked best, and he rapped along to encourage break dancing. Before the 1980s, hip hop music was mainly seen within the United States. However, during the 1980s, it began its spread and became a part of the popular music scene in many other countries. The popularity of hip hop music continued through the 1990s and 2000s. Dr. Dre and Eminem were two of the most successful rappers at that time. Hip hop influences also found their way into pop during this period mainly through the mid-2000s. Rappers such as Kanye West and Jay Z also began to become popular in the mid-2000s. Hip Hop and Rap was mainly created because of the different style of music and beat it gave. Before this genre of music began,

When hip hop music first developed in the late 1970s, not many people knew about it. It was created in the poorest districts of New York City by African American and Latino teenagers as part of a hip hop scene that also produced breakdancing and graffiti art. Many of these young people were unemployed, but some found work as DJs in discos where they learned deejaying techniques like how to use two turntables and a DJ mixer to play records non-stop. Sometimes they'd also deejay at free block parties in their neighbourhoods where they'd play funk and disco tracks non-stop and ask a friend to act as their MC.

There have been many technological advances throughout that past four decades within music production and many have argued that without the boom of the digital culture the popular music of today not be as it is today. This paper will examine an extremely important technological change of the nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties that has helped shape popular music of today.

DJ’s would play popular music with jazz and soul beat taking the percussion break of the song and extending it out. This continued to evolve into a beat mix and match sound that could be rapped over. Disco instrumental sections of music were also used for the hip hop beat. In the 1980’s rap began to take on a more sophisticated and complex style. A new generation of drum machines emerged replacing the use of tape loops to get the layered effects with influence of rock music. Hip hop/ rap became part of mainstream music in 1986 when it became commercially successful. The art of the music has continued to evolve with a diversification of styles such as gangster, rap metal, jazz rap, and neo

The battle of the Recording Industry Association of America (R.I.I.A.) vs. LimeWire had as its goal to settle an issue over music piracy. LimeWire was a free peer-to-peer file-sharing network which shared both authorized song and unauthorized songs. The legal campaign of RIAA v. The People started on September 8, 2003, and lasted for five years (1).

Rapper Q-Tip from hip hop group, A Tribe Called Quest famously conveyed in “Excursions”, a track from the 1993 album The Low End Theory, that music is cyclical, and jazz is the foundation for the new abstract in hip-hop just as hip-hop will be the new ground for whatever music the black community creates next. Even before the advent of the hip-hop genre, Jazz musicians participated in riff borrowing and sharing on standards. Simon and Garfunkel reused recordings of earlier songs in tracks they produced later. These uses can easily be considered an early form of sampling, a practice that utilizes pieces of a musical recording in another musical work as an instrument. As hip-hop grew in popularity, moving from the early reggae grooves over which emcee’s rapped to sampled songs, controversy over creative ownership also flourished in the music community.

Nowadays radio stations and televisions are showing only mainstream, major label bands on their stations and channels. What people mostly do not know is there is another world of music out there for their listening: indie music. The reason people do not know about indie music is that these stations and channels will not make as much money from these smaller record labels as they would from the major labels that are Sony BMG, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group. Indie music is a co-culture of major label music but in its own right is a culture by itself on its own.
