If you've ever listened to a song and had a sense of deja-vu this post is probably for you.
As a music fan and connoisseur, I pride myself in knowing jams from past AND present. One of the skills I have acquired over the years is an ear for noticing songs within songs, which is basically the art of the sample.
What is a sample, anyway? Simply explained, it is a short snippet of a song previously recorded and dropped that is strategically placed into the instrumental of another. There's a— but its origins are specifically from hip-hop. Since the birth of hip-hop, DJs and MCs have used samples to rhyme over, giving birth to the modern bops you listen to today. I personally thank the boogie down Bronx for blessing us with such a gift.
