There are a few rules to sampling, however:
1. There are no rules to sampling.
2. You may sample whatever the fuck you please.
3. Refer to rules 1 and 2.
Lmao.
.....BRING THE FUCKIN RUCKUS!
I'm torn between both worlds, frankly. I come from the state that had a HUGE hand in the glam/glitz/bubblegum/bling rap movement, and I know that for most of those who actually made it out of the underground in TX, it's the money that pushes the music, not the other way around. But then again, I watched alot of these cats come up from sleeping in their Datsun outside the 250 max occupancy bar they just played a 20 person hour long set to...and now they have every right to the cash they are making since they found their niche.
But, at the same time, I can't condone selling out your music and personal tastes just to make a buck. I refuse to make snap beats or crunk tracks because they are part of that mainstream nonsense to me. The "hot" tracks everyone wants, I don't make that kind of music. I do what I want when I want.
But I will be the first to admit, if I could make a comfortable living off of music, I would in a heart beat because I love music so much I don't like it when my 9-to-5 gets in the way of making my music. And without producing or engineering becoming my "job", so to speak, I'll always have that drudgery job pulling me away from creating music. So, again, I am torn between the money and the art, but I never give up my artistic tastes solely to make money. I have merely searched for the niche artists who want to pay me for my art, and don't want me to be something I am not, which is Lil Jon.
As for sampling, too many people think it's "easy" to just sample a track and make a new one. Any of you "original" artists that think creating a GOOD sampled track is easy, I invite you to challenge one of the sample using producers on this site to a battle. We'll pick the original track to sample from and then both will create their own take on the sample. I guarantee the producer who has the experience sampling will win hands down everytime, because it isn't easy and it takes alot of practice to pull off a good flip.
My .02$ and the other .98$ to go with it.
Peace
Well said, sir.
*bringing the fuckin' white boy ruckus since 1983*

There's only a few people off the top of the head who I can say truly makes hip-hop for the love of the art. Even some of the better people on this site make instrumentals just to sell them, not for the actual love of it. Kinda depresses me... So for that, let's bring the fuckin ruckus.
