In the latest vlogbrothers video, Hank Green shares his enthusiasm for remixes and the use of samples in music:
This reminded me of this 2014 TED talk by Mark Ronson, who takes us back to the start of the sample era.
🎶 If you're in a hurry, start watching around 6:40 for the “La Di Da Di” examples.
Update: Brad Sparks on Twitter added that Eminem did talk about his inspiration for “My Name Is”, on Genius:
Eminem himself mentioned that Dr Dre just happened to have the record spinning at his house and Em just went overtop it. He even linked to the song in his annotation on Genius. https://t.co/vFWPssPAto
