I think Vanilla made it better because he added that little "ting" to the song... _________________ ♪ ♫One good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain...

I'd say the majority of songs are ruined when sampled by rappers, considering they don't create their own music and the majority of rappers suck.
To a certain extent I would agree. Let's not blame everything on rappers, some samples are just used poorly by producers. A lot of times the delivery from the rapper would be piss poor no matter the beat.

Actually, that was awesome... Jay-Z did that as a come back to Noel Gallagher who was pissed Jay Z was chosen to headline the event... And much to Noel's dismay, the crowd loved it!

I think he renamed it "Ca$h Money Mir".
I'd like to have heard the pitch by Sean's producer. "There was this superb blues rock band in the 70s called Led Zeppelin, you see..." Diddy: "Word?" Producer: "We're gonna try to get a crossover thing going even though the guitarist is 72 yrs old." Diddy: "Word?" Producer: "Word, and this is going to be a huge hit, forget Aerosmith and Run DMC. Forget Anthrax and Public Enemy. Forget Hall & Oates and N.W.A." Diddy: "Word?" _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!

Jay Z sampled "Hard Knock Life" from Annie, the musical. It's safe to say there wasn't anything he wouldn't touch. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!

Haha. You ever see the clip of V-Ice cleverly explaining how the extra "ting" made all the diff? Yeah, he got sued. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!

But it worked...
In the case of Oasis and Gastenbury, it wasn't a sample, but more of a spoof, which went over very well with the crowd... Pure OWNAGE

but I thought Jay-Z's sampling of Annie was actually pretty good. I don't think sampling is an evil; it just needs to be done right.
I can appreciate his cover of Wonderwall now.
Also, didn't a group just blatantly rip off the exact beat from "I Got Five on It" to create another hit rap song? _________________ MTFBWYA
