And many cats rhyme over tracks nobody fiends for
Don't fuck around with me, if you can only fuck with keyboards
Just 'cause lazy n***as use recognisable material
Don't mean the dope samples are not original
'Cause a producer with skill can lace tracks
Keyboard beats aren't that original, lets face facts
That shit was overused in the G-funk era
Don't give me that excuse, real MCs want better

I dig it.
Sounds like he's referencing Saul Williams, specifically Twice the First Time. If you like Hip Hop, you should check him out. In fact, if you like real Hip Hop, then you should check out the whole Ninja Tune label. Good stuff on all accounts.
<3 Ninja Tune. I'm bumping Amon Tobin, Blockhead, and Mr. Scruff. Nothing really vocal though.

Elaborate please
Samplers who take the most obvious samples and loop them without doing much to it. I sure as hell am guilty for that because of my earlier work, but I'm trying to make amends.
RJD2 for the win. This song motivated me when I started makin beats, amongst other shit to not sample like ice ice baby. I was listening to a lot of Shadow and RJ and stuff like that at the time and would ask myself why more people didn't sample like they did. Found out years later is cause those guys have talent and most motherfuckers on the internet making beats don't.
The RZA has a good quote on using the sampler like a xerox machine, how basically you're just biting someone else's shit. You might as well be an lyrical thief sealing lines from your favorite MC's.
Now cause anyone with a computer can start making music from sampling, it's a matter of population control.
I definitely agree. There's a lot of people out there with whack ass sampled tracks. It's up to them if they want to expand or not.
It's not nice to be a stalking keyboard faggot Taurgus.
Concur.
the game
That's some sick shit

i think thats why i never got into sampling, whenever i finished a sampled song i felt guilty of something, or i felt like i hadnt made something completely original. ive had huge conversations with people about sampling vs. nonsampling in terms of which is more original, and i guess in the end they cant really be compared. Unless you know the sample, you never know how much effort a sampler put into his song, which kind of sucks. However if you hear some dude playing some dope original licks on guitar, you know that he must have practiced for a long time to get those down.
