@?? – Both Tor & JMT sampled ‘Dumb I Sound’, but that doesn’t mean JMT should get credit because they sampled it first, should everyone credit NWA or 2 Live Crew when they sample the amen break?

Stumbled upon this in Grooveshark. Not usually my genre of music, but I love it!
August 16th, 2010 - 23:51
Love to see some comment credit to JMT. That may be Outkast’s vocals, but the beat is Jedi Mind Tricks.

For a couple of years now i have been put off hip hop because of the effect cooperate record labels have had on the industry. Some how cheesy lyrics + catchy hooks + generic beat = hip hop. You give me faith that may still be hope.
Keep it up brother!!
