The generation of Afro-Americans, to which I belong, slowly starts to overcome these barriers of frustration. He is sampling Led Zeppelin, Reggae, whatever. As well in the economic as in the psycho-social field a new sense of equality, meaning coexistence, is established. There is a difference between appropriation and quotation. This is a hommage.
Appropriation means eradication of the names of others.
I don't want to do this. Pop culture as a whole has become very multicultural. I intentionally use quotations for my samples, and I try to rearrange them and build something new. Music is always metaphor, and I'm trying to recontextualize these metaphors. The artist hereby becomes a magician of sorts, who with magic tricks puts a spell on his audience.
