Sampling was once dismissed as lazy, but is now recognized for the artform it is. All art is derived from SOMETHING, the question is how someone chooses to reinterpret it.

For Day 4 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, share you favorite sample flip (and the original song).

Boots Riley came out swinging after Martin Scorsese announced his involvement with the AI company Black Forest Labs on Tuesday:

“My guess: at 83, they gave his family a gang of money (they throw tens of millions left&right) he wanted the income stream4them& feels like ‘AI’ will fall on its face anyway, so he doesnt give a f*ck. If that’s not the case, extraf*ck him. Separately, go see I Love Boosters today.” https://t.co/zwW9dm7TAH
