most important note in the song? 😳 The piano bassline sampled from 1977’s “Mind Rain” by Joe Chambers (who performs the part as well) sounds dark and sinister: why? In part this is because of the use of a b2, a flattened 2nd scale degree in the Phyrigian mode, one of 2 notes that do not appear in major or minor scales. While used with some frequency in classical, jazz, and metal (as well as arabic, flamenco, middle eastern, klezmer and other musics) it was far less common to hear this scale outside of those genres in 1994. In Chambers’ bassline as sampled and looped every bar in Nas’s song we hear a tritone in the melody at the top - from the flat 2 to the 5, a leading tone pushing downwards, wanting to resolve to the tonic (also note no b3 is played in the riff - only in the “sting” chord heard every 2 bars). Some earlier famous phrygian songs include: Jefferson airplane White rabbit; the Clash london calling; kelis milkshake; Montell Jordan “This is How We Do it” (and of course “Childrens Story” by Slick Rick, which Jordan’s song samples). In 1994 “NY State of Mind” and Snoop Dogg “Gin & Juice” both used Phrygian, and soon after we began hearing it more in hip hop: Missy Elliott - Get Ur Freak On, kendrick DNA, Humble, Childish Gambino - This Is America, Lil Uzi Vert - Just Wanna Rock etc. In 2022 Oberlin musicologist Eron Smith wrote the article “Flat 2 as Hotness in post-millenial pop”, which collected 75 examples of flat 2 usage as a musical expression of “hotness” (“confidence, sexuality, or both”) eg: justin “sexyback” , miley cyrus “cant’t be tamed”, Britney if you seek amy, and songs by christina aguilera, beyonce, rihanna, shakira, pussycat dolls etc. It is far more common to hear a b2 in pop now than it was when Nas’ song was released. 😳 On the latest ONE SONG we break down the stems & stories behind Nas “NY State of Mind” ✨Follow for more “inside the music” videos & subscribe to ONE SONG podcast to hear the full hour-long show 🥰 #sampling #songwriting #musicproducer

Bad Bunny songs you didn’t know were sampled

Drake sampled 35 seconds of a jazz monologue, changed one word, and won a fair use case. Here's what happened: In his 2013 song "Pound Cake," Drake sampled Jimmy Smith's 1982 spoken word track that included the line: "Jazz is the only real music that's gonna last. All that other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow." Drake changed "jazz" to "real music,"making it: "Only real music is gonna last.” Smith's estate sued for copyright infringement. But both the district court and Second Circuit ruled it was fair use. The court found that by changing "jazz" to "music," Drake transformed Smith's message from promoting jazz supremacy into a critique of jazz-elitism—celebrating all "real music" regardless of genre. One word was enough to make it transformative, at least according to the court. #Copyright #FairUse #Drake #MusicLaw #IPLaw #Sampling #IntellectualProperty #LawyersforInnovators
