The Art of Sampling
The Sampling Tradition of Hip Hop/Rap Music and Copyright Law by Amir Said
The art of sampling, one of the most innovative music processes to emerge in the late-twentieth century, stands today as both a celebrated art form and a cultural activity within the hip hop/rap music tradition and beyond. The Art of Sampling by Amir Said (author of The BeatTips Manual), examines this complex and controversial music process, and brings forth a study that illuminates its history, creative mechanics, and philosophy, along with the implications that it holds for copyright law.
The art of sampling is the world’s most explosive music technique. It contains a number of unique methods and practices, each potentially more complex and challenging than the other. It stands as one of the most highly debated music processes of all time. And, of course, it raises a number of important questions about copyright law. The Art of Sampling breaks down the complexity of sampling in the hip hop/rap music tradition, and erases all of the myth and mystery. Divided into three primary parts, including an in-depth History part, a robust Instruction part, and a highly comprehensive and accessible Copyright Law part, The Art of Sampling is sharply informative and engaging. Through a highly detailed analysis of the origins of the art of sampling and beatmaking in general, as well as its key aesthetics, principles, predilections, nuances, and priorities, Said offers an unmatched level of “how-to” instruction. And with an equally impressive examination of United States copyright law and policy, he delivers an astute (and approachable) study that’s certain to increase the public’s understanding of copyright law.
Intensely thought-provoking, eye-opening, and timely, The Art of Sampling is the most comprehensive exploration of sampling in the hip hop/rap music tradition and copyright law ever written, and one of the most striking and poignant music studies to come along in years.
