The History of Sampling, Hey DJ I Recognize That…..
April 25th, 2008 by Dave Allen
Ever wonder where A Tribe Called Quest got their cool samples or you could swear “hey, I know that song” when you here someone else’s song? Well now you can find out with The History of Sampling.
“Each square represents an album, with sampled artists on the lower half and sampling artists on the upper half. Albums are placed horizontally according to release date, while vertical placement reflects the number of samples on that album. The middle resprents the area of most sampling, so commonly sampled albums are closer to the side with the sampling albums, and vice versa. The rectangles that appear to the right of a selected album represent the individual songs. Songs with taller rectangles have a higher sample count.”
