Told you. Today, Chiddy Bang premiered their best work yet — and I’m not just saying that because they namechecked PMA in the intro. It takes best work honors because I didn’t think Chiddy Bang would top their Radiohead-sampling “Because.” Their strategic and creative sampling one of the many reasons why I find Chiddy Bang so damn interesting.
I find that my favorite hip hop records sample some other song, usually old soul songs a la Kanye West. But since hip hop discovered Daft Punk via Busta Rhymes and the ever present and innovative Kanye West, it opened my eyes to a whole new world of sampling. The art of sampling songs that are still fresh in your mind works in a different way than sampling songs long forgotten. This new school sampling rejuvenates and captures your attention in a way a pitched-up soul sample doesn’t. It almost feels like a remix, but it is a lot more exciting.
I can count in my hand the songs that I find showcase the mastery of new school sampling: my favorites are Wale’s “W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.” Kid Cudi’s “The Prayer,” Chiddy Bang’s “Because,” Mickey Factz and Drake’s “Little Bit,” and now we can add Chiddy Bang’s “Kids.” A mixtape full of new school sampling would be sick, but that’s just an idea 
UPDATE: That mixtape is an idea in the making now, I guess — leave your requests and suggestions in the comments.

pb, i am going to have to veto your suggestions
1) i dont think Chillin’ qualifies as New School Sampling.
2) jai ho x pcd shouldn’t be on ANY mixtape
that Benny Blanco D.A.N.C.E. w/ mos def and spank rock should be on it.
This is very very good.
yeah Luis, agreed. And I LOVE chillin but that isn’t sampling! so
1 Pete I havn’t made it yet, give me some more suggestions and maybe later I’ll put it up on sendspace or something.
2, I can’t find that D.A.N.C.E. remix, can someone rapidshare it?
3. I have some of the craziest covers ever on my computer, but I don’t really thing this mixtape is about covers, right? so isn’t Jai Ho more of a cover?
ok so
1 just realized Wale’s freestyle over Roc boys is amazing, I would be crazy not to include it and
2 here are the rules: It needs to either sample a song, or be a remix with new verses or rapping or whatever, but no straightforward covers.
ok so Im putting I love College, but the ORIGINAL with Weezer, much better. And I`ll make my own remix of Day N Night, that just includes both Jim Jones & Pitbulls verses.
okay well i’m glad you vetoed pcd but chillin? why does the sample have to be new? i mean i know you guys are making the rules up as you go along but i think it should be included as long as the song itself is relatively new. who cares about the sample, especially if it’s a dope song from the 60s
& david if chillin doesn’t count as sampling i don’t really know what does……
that’s my 2 cents.
this is the best song i’ve heard since a milli. xaphoon jones sick wit it.
oh sorry nvr miind it is sampling, I was retarded for a while and thought you were talking about the Gaga verse yeah I dwasn’t thinking straight. But the entire point was “New School Sampling” since the beggining!
