Dodgy Cover Versions

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by Kato, Aug 2, 2022.

  1. The vocals were a bit weak but the guitars, bass and drums were tight.
     
  2. Comparing sampling to making music with real instruments is like comparing a collage to a Rembrandt.
     
  3. Kanye is the ultimate "emperor's new clothes" of music. But I'm happy for you if you find him entertaining.

    Here he is doing a 6th form level cover. Bloody awful

  7. true, it was so bad it was good but he went on to get 2.7 mill views later (on a song he sung and co-wrote) that i'll never achieve.

  8. I was very very into late 80s Rap/Hip Hop and still listen to it from time to time. I kind of checked out in the early 90s so anything 'West Coast' etc didn't have much to do with.

    Samples were very heavily used, but I believe it was De La Soul that used so many on an album, it marked a turning point in sample usage and royalties.

    What I will say about Rap/Hip Hop without joining any argument about it being shite or not is that those samples opened up a new world of 60s and 70s Soul and Funk I wouldn't otherwise have heard. As a consequence my musical horizons were changed forever and I have Rap/Hip Hop to thank for it.

    Hip Hop is 50 years old today, so it must have done/be doing something right!

  9. If you’re a Pink Floyd fan, have a listen to this ‘cover version’ and then try to convince yourself that the original is better.

    PS - This must have been filmed during that devastating barbers strike in the Seventies
     
  15. That is a very accurate and faithful cover. I listened to both back to back tho and can't say I agree with you.
