Sampling is not stealing, it's showing a different audience a new perspective on a tune. It's really making new music from old music. There are only so many notes that make us chime. Fatboy Slim has opened many peoples minds, including my own to far older music, and for that I thank him.
if royalties arn't paid it is. if you consider the original idea would never have come to be in the first place without the person or artists who first thought of it. as proved by cook losing a lot of his Royalties for various tunes.
I had this argument with a muscian (well, drummer) 30 years ago. He felt sampling was stealing, showed you had no talent ect. He did'nt see the irony that he was in a cover band, playing other people's music in a note for note imitation!
Norman Cook actually went out of his way to find Camille Yarbrough and give her royalties for Praise You. He was never out there to steal others work, he was just fascinated how you could put other peoples work together to create something new. True legend
Is it an art? Are you impressed by it? Sure it looks good when you first hear them and you get a very good first impression based on the song itself having never heard the originals, but now that I see where then come from, I kind of lose interest in the artist, especially when the entirety of the song is just different samples with a generic beat behind them.
@@DecontructRecreateIt looks very easy to do when you watch reverse engineering of a sample based track, but it takes a special gift to have that kind of foresight to do it, and a talent to make it all sit well together. If you haven't yet, watch the documentary on the making of DJ Shadows album Entroducing. To pull that off is faaarr more difficult than producing with standard instruments or midi. Check out the reverse engineering videos on YT of some Prodigy tracks being made. Incredible skill and talent to pull that off.
Eddie Michael it is good, but look up Eminem My Name is and Daft Punk Digital Love. Its like taking best part of original song and building new song around it
4 main samples, each artist given 25% of the royalties. Madness when you think how often it's been used in other media and the royalties Norman has missed out on. Not that he needs them, of course.
It must be so surreal to act in some relatively forgotten movie, only to hear your voice from a random line being sampled in one of the best songs to come out a few years later
Damn you have good taste! Fatboy Slim, Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers, Gorillaz, Moby... That's like my favourite artists right there. You should do one with The Avalanches or Basement Jaxx
In Gangsta Trippin' you forgot the scratching sample, which is off a track by the X-ecutioners called Word Play. th-cam.com/video/-L8jOj3U0qg/w-d-xo.html You can hear it at 0:52 Did I mention it's still an amazing job finding most samples? Yes. I did! Thanks for this!
For anyone who is interested in listening to the full versions of most of the original songs sampled, you should look into seeking out a compilation called A Break From The Norm. It also includes several songs not listed here such as Higher Groud by Ellen McIllwaine, the guitar sample in Song For Lindy. I've had it since about 2006, the full versions of The Olympic's I'll Do A Little Bit More and The Just Brother's Sliced Tomatoes are great.
“Sho Nuff” also samples David Dundas “Jeans on”. The best Fatboy tune I thought, and it was a b-side!! At the time (2000) there was a brilliant Sho Nuff mashup with the Dundas original over the top. It was so good.
First time I heard about Fat Boy Slim was through a parody of his stage name on Disney's "That's So Raven", where he was name dropped as "Skinny Boy Fat".
You put a bit of work into even finding these samples. Great channel. I'm feeling inspired just watching, the juices are flowing. I'd love a dig around fatboys record collection.
Офигеть! Я даже и представить себе не мог сколько он семплировал! Мой мир уже не будет прежним! В одном его треке около 4-7 семплов разных исполнителей прошлого! Капец!
Man , it take some musical genius to assemble those various pieces of music and then make great pop music out of it and that is Norman. Im in awe. Music is an instrument.
ME: (goes to these same records...can’t find a good sample to save my life)🤦🏽♂️ not because there ain’t any there, but because it’s harder than you think sometimes. It is a talent, no matter what snobby old music purist farty-heads say. Besides, my kids always look back on the little impromptu dance party’s we would have back in the 90s listening to the great FS 👍🏽🙏🏽
7:58 Beasties did this on "Prof Booty", off check yer head. naturally Ill ask for you to do them next. Paul's Boutique is is a master piece of samples with the Dust Brothers.
Great job interesting where these artists get their samples from so much different musig stiles imvolved. I think he must have a huge knowlege in music
I was literally listening to a Fatboy Slim song an hour or two ago and wondering what songs were sampled in it. Then just now TH-cam recommends this. What are the chances. Perfect.
jst 4 mins, im like oh holy fuck!!! i thought, he created all the sound from scratch!!! OMFG!!! This is so unbelievable!!!Same with Chemical Brothers!!!!!😲
Unbelievable...I always wondered how music creators and producers hear tunes and voices and just get on their minds that they can create a sample from these sounds....how does it happen? Is it something that you need to born with? How can you hear something and say 'i will create a song from this'. Hoooowwww? :) Please somebody explain it to me. My other favourite tune regarding this: Nero - Reaching out, with a sample of 'Out of touch' by Hall and Oates.
A lot of it comes from Slim having a DJ background When you learn the art mixing and that certain songs sound seamless together,you can use that mentality with producing music. His style has a lot of influence from The Bomb Squad.(Public Enemy-It Takes A Nation Of Millions)
>How can you hear something and say 'i will create a song from this'. By doing just that. You hear something that sounds cool, sample it, then play with it until you have something different. For the most part it's just throwing whatever into a sampler and seeing what sticks, but with practice you find an ear for what can be sampled and what you can do with clips of sound,.
Great video. Great format. Great songs. Great everything. I wish this was around a decade ago when I tried to track down samples through CD cover credits. Thanks
@@8mu- I knew where some of his samples came from but there were a hell of a lot of them I had no idea where they came from so a lot of nice surprises in there to listen to and research more. Especially those early sixties and seventies grooves. Ol' Norman always had a good ear for a tune didn't he.
You should do another Fatboy Slim just on the early Skint singles. B-sides included. "We (Really) Want To See Those Fingers", "Lincoln Memorial", "Santa Cruz", those were always my favorites songs of his.
It's mind blowing how can a person turn tunes from 60's and 70's into immortal timeless masterpiece! Thanks for the great work putting it all together.
Good pick. Btw, I'm pretty sure they sampled some dialogue from Romero's Season of the Witch on the track Julie and Candy ("You're putting me on" etc), but I can't seem to find the exact scene online right now now, so I could be wrong.
9:53 when i first heard this song i instantly remeber hearing it from some tv serie. Then it hit me. It's the backup track when gus poison don eladio and his henchmen in "breaking bad"
9:06 So does the sample **specifically** draw from Straight Outta Compton as opposed to just the Amen Break in general? Cuz Norman’s use actually seems closer to the original’s tempo than NWA’s 🤔
I got copyright warning not to use soccer/football cheering sound fx (recorded as background noise), edited on iPhone and uploaded on Facebook - where I play table tennis at home with my son just for fun… How will those new sound effects copyright affect videos like those or music from Fat Boy Slim and hundreds of others…???

That "Right here! Right now!" is so naturally musical on its own.

I agree ☝️. It shouldn’t 🐝 classed as stealing. Why all this copyright ©?
So if you have to buy a sample and don’t pay for it. That is in fact stealing.
It’s like making new sounds from different sound
Late 60s into the 70s = Sample Heaven
It seems like 70% of all samples is from that era. And mostly from black artists for some reason
Mid eighties new wave is a still largely unexplored goldmine of great samples...
And the Beatles knew that well 😉
Norman Cook actually went out of his way to find Camille Yarbrough and give her royalties for Praise You.
He was never out there to steal others work, he was just fascinated how you could put other peoples work together to create something new. True legend
The true legend of the art of sampling. You should be very bright mind to combine first those different songs in your mind and then arrange a track.

There were so many samples in Rockafeller Shank that Fatboy Slim had to give up all the royalties in order to be able to release the song.
Nothing new for Quentin.... Same happened to him back with Beats International when Dub Be Good to Me was a hit.
4 main samples, each artist given 25% of the royalties. Madness when you think how often it's been used in other media and the royalties Norman has missed out on. Not that he needs them, of course.
Basically after royalties and taxes, that leaves just enough in the budget to cover Christopher Walkens and his music video choreography....
I have the cd and when you open the cover IT'S LITERALLY TEXT EVERYWHERE. COPYRIGHT THIS. COPYRIGHT THIS.
