Oh yeah, it was a great class. We literally never used our book. All we did was interpret art, watch powerpoint presentations, listen to music, and watch movies.

Actually saw that in my humanities class. Definitely a good film, very interesting as you said.

Xellerated said: This is my view on it:

Sample it! Cut it up! Cut and paste from wherever you can..just honestly express yourself! And most importantly..GIVE DUE RESPECT. If I am feelin the funky drummer beat, and I sample it, I'd call Clyde up personally and thank him if I could. I definitely put his name on the album. If I was an artist, and someone sampled me, I'd be honored.

It's all the record companies after the $$$. Clyde hasnt seen a cent from the sample clearances...wtf. That doesnt make sense.

If the artist isnt cool with it, that's fine, but it shouldnt be up to the record labels. At least that's what I think.

Word. I agree. Record labels should stick to promotion and distribution. How can they own someone else's intellect and pawn that sh!t like they really helped make it. Just 'cause you hyped it and put it on the streets for the artists, everyone's got to give you the dough? f*** y'all.

Side note: as much as I like Clyde Stubblefield, Jabo Starks is the sh*t.

Haven't been able to post much lately, I been laid up with the flu. Sucks. At least I'm getting a chance to watch some movies and get babied by my fiancée

I actually saw this on the Stones Throw Message Board, halfway through. Cool stuff, I though Steve Albini would be a little cooler about it though.
