The art of sampling is the most tangible form of borrowing from the music of the past to create the sound of today. Whether these samples are used in tribute to the original music or in an attempt to create an entirely new form, sampling is a large part of the urban contemporary creative process. Borrowing elements from the work of others is arguably a necessary step in all creative process. When we discuss the origin of the elements of a piece of work, we can better understand the technological and cultural context in which ideas resurface.
