Funkadelic vs. NWA
Wired reports on a protest against the (ludicrous) legal decision against NWA for sampling three notes from a Funkadelic's "Get Off Your Ass and Jam"--even though a lower court found that the 1.5-second sample
had been manipulated beyond recogntion.
3 Notes and Runnin is hosting entries that sample the three notes in question.
To protest this decision, we are creating a forum for sample-based musicians and artists to share their own 30 second songs which have been created using only the sample in question. By doing so, we hope to showcase the potential and diversity of sample based music and sound art, and to call into question the relationship between a sample and its use.
72 entries so far.
