Is this song sampled, in the beginning at least?
I was in Wendy's today and I could have swore that was beginning to come on, but it ended up some man was singing.

"Someone To Call My Lover" samples two songs. The bridge ("My my, looking for a guy guy....) is also from another song. That's my favorite part.

I'm sick of all that sampling. They can't find a decent hook, so they sample somebody else's. 9 times out of 10 it is that sampled hook that scores them the hit, it's just that the target audience often doesn't know it's a sample so they think it is an original piece. I hate that.
I don't mind SOME sampling, but it is way out of hand, and one of the chief reasons I'm not a bigger fan of hip hop.

Whole hook samples annoy me, especially since people think it's a new piece. I don't really mind sampling in this case though. It's only a guitar riff. I doubt this song made it to #3 on the Hot 100 on the guitar riff. |

the only samples that bother me are:
1. songs that are sampled more than once within a year or two of eachother
2. songs that sample original beats that are less than 10 years old
3. songs that sample without incorporating at least mostly new material, including lyrics

"my my, looking for a guy guy, i don't want him too shy, he's gotta have the qualities that i like in a man.. bla bla" That part is taken from an old song. I don't know which song it is, but I know it for a fact. |
