A little internet clout really gets to the people’s heads quickly these days because delusion is at an all time high.
Sampling has been an important element in Hip-Hop/R&B for decades. In fact, samples appear to be more popular than ever. Whether you have been keeping a close eye on the surging Bronx Sample Drill scene in New York or have heard popular tracks from rising acts like Doja Cat, Coi Leray or Jack Harlow on the radio, I’m sure you’ve noticed it.
Recently we’ve definitely seen an increase in several Hip-Hop and R&B artists leaning more into the iconic sounds of the 2000s, Now, countless fans have actually voiced their disdain for the trend on social media, me being one of them because.. a lot of those songs just don’t feel old enough to be touching yet, case in point, a record like Ciara’s ‘Goodies.’
‘Goodies’ was released in 2004 and remains not only one of Ciara’s biggest records but one of the biggest records of that decade period. So while on paper it’s approaching 20 years so maybe it could be sampled it’s one of those records that just probably shouldn’t be touched because… well, what are you doing with it?
Former Zeus Network reality star and rising rapper Stunna Girl decided to put her on spin on the track for her latest single “Stand Up” featuring YG. Honestly, the record completely goes against everything the original track was all about with it’s chorus “I can make the d*ck stand up” repeated over and over so it immediately makes you think… did Ciara clear this? Well, no… apparently she didn’t.
Stunna took Twitter this evening (1/11) to voice her disdain with producers who use samples and calling out Ciara directly for having her team reach out and citing that she’s never had this problem when she sampled “white artists.” She even took it as far as suggesting Ciara was hating on her… yes, you read that correctly. Thee Ciara Princess Harris Wilson hating on the likes of Stunna… baby, that is peak delusion.
As a rising artist perhaps this is an important lesson Stunna needed to learn early on because she’s clearly very confused on how this process works. Take a look at what she had to say below and let us know your thoughts.
I literally hate when producers use samples . These artists be actin like they made the beat it’s so many people that used that beat but . @ciara team writting me saying she personally contacted them about me . But anytime I done used a beat that was sampled by a white artist…
