Wow. Nelly got like 15 songs he done sampled in his new song “My Place” with Jaheim. Do people play instruments anymore? Or do they just rummage through they momma’s old records and hope Swiss Beats can put a bassline to it. He sampled “Isn’t It a Shame” by Patti Labelle AND “I Like It” by DeBarge, both in one song. How you do all of that? Dang. It can’t be that hard to come up with a beat, but I guess it’s just easier for your target teeniebopper audience who doesn’t know who the hell Labelle is to think that you just broke out with an original song. Sad sad SAD, Mr. Nelly! Originality is a rarity.
Am I lame for downloading the speeches from the Democratic National Convention from iTunes? They’re good! Go download them. They’re FREE n’ everything! I like this one the most.
