Unkut: There was an interview that Kanye West did in Scratch magazine where he was talking about ‘I’ll sample drums off a Pete Rock instrumental if they’re open’. That was kinda funny to me.Very interesting.
Pete Rock: I believe it! I hear my snares out there, and I’m like ‘Wow, that’s fuckin’ crazy, man!’ I feel like that’s lazy shit. You obviously don’t love it as much as I do, because for you to not go out there and find it on your own…you’ll find so much if you just take the time out to go dig, man. We do all the hard work so y’all can just snatch our records up and listen for open snares and kicks? That’s some wack shit. I respect cats that come with their own sound. MORE.
I remember on Last Call, Kanye goes on to say that he used Dr. Dre's drums from Xxplosive on a Jay-Z track.
I dunno how I feel about sampling other producers for their drums, but it does seem like a jack move.
With that said, I can't wait to see 'Ye at the Glow In The Dark Tour in a few weeks :)
