How sampling transformed music | Mark Ronson
Sampling isn’t about “hijacking nostalgia wholesale,” says Mark Ronson. It’s about inserting yourself into the narrative of a song while also pushing that story forward. Watch the DJ scramble 15 TED Talks into an audio-visual omelette, and trace the evolution of “La Di Da Di,” Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick’s 1984 hit that has been reimagined for every generation since.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

That guy is dripping with talent.
I could tell there were some older people that were like "wtf was that terrible noise" π
He's such a wonderful speaker. Jesus the man has so many talents.
If you enjoyed this 17 minutes of Mark talking about music, then you are in for a frikking treat! Watch WATCH THE SOUND on APPLE TV!!!
This man loves music like no one I have ever known.
I like what he did with the song at the end.
That was amazing
I never tire of this. This is how creative sampling and scratching should be done.
Ok listen to any public enemy album…this is literally the type of intro on EVERY ALBUM
Somebody please help me: does he looks like Alex Turner (AM era) or does he sounds like Alex Turner?
When he said 'They sampled it because they wanted to instantly inject the music because it spoke to em'
Sampling did spread like a heroine epidemic in the music industry. Providing a cathartic release, but maybe hindering the true potential of artists.
Interesting Analogy..

Best sampler…
Fatboy slim
Should be a black man on stage !!!
Couch it however you want, people who 'sample' are thieves. Sampling is a euphemism for stealing. The fact that he vehemently denies it six minutes into his talk only confirms this.
Post sample era – Nice… but doesn't make it good or right! β
If its not written by Mark Ronson or Max Martin, then its probably not a top 40 song. If it is, then the artist is just not openly giving them songwriting credits
Ola Clau, saludos
Is it just me or he is using preemo drums?
These comments are disgraceful. I grew up with Mark Ronson. We all grew up in Manhattan. Everyone from that scene had serious connections money etc…it was Manhattan. Mark made it happen 100% on his own. If he inherited anything it was just passion and love for music. He paid his dues DJIng high school parties. He was talented and loved every aspect of music long before he was old enough to work as a DJ. His accent could be a result of growing up in London & NYC with parents that British accents and family overseas. More importantly Mark wanted it more than anyone else and he was more talented. PERIOD. No one else from that time period or NYC scene has done more. If you want to call him part of the β1%β then I say he is 1% of that β1%β I can tell you many people with similar money and connections did nothing with their lives. Some even wound up with drug problems or even dead. He was alway a nice guy never saw peopleβs color or money or class differences. He Hung out and was equally accepted by anyone he met whether they were from the projects or Park Avenue. He always had his own musical style which I still hear today in his work. When you are incredibly smart, talented, and driven good things happen. We speak on IG from time to time but I would not say we are friends – life has different paths for people. I can say he is 100% legit. Not just anyone could have achieved what he has. I know for a fact he is one of a kind and really canβt stand when people judge without knowing anything. He did a great job on this interview! He deserves his success. – Phil D.
Still sampling from other songs makes it seem lazy and just feels cheap in the sense that it cashes in on nostalgia which is what a lot of media is doing right now and is frustrating cause itβs stunting new ideas from emerging.
this was actually so cool to watch!!
Music genius
interesting… to say the least
I love anime

Last beat reminded me of βkrs one – mcs act like dont knowβ…. loved that 1st beat too
When the globalists depopulate the planet – who will be there to listen to the music?
No one.
Your dedication to this genre is unquestionable, but you need to mention that that repeated chord accent flare that pushes the rhythm of that Biggie song comes straight from Herb Alpert, circa 1981-82.
La Di Da Di was released in 1985 not 1984 Mister Ronson.
he is so in his element it makes me happy
<3
He showed love to Slick Rick and Doug E Fresh
He is great to me
