Its pretty funny to be honest, hes not really done anything except speed them up by 15-20 BPM

yeah, got to agree, since i so this video a few weeks back...i thought dam these guys are not that great after all  just goes to show the standard of music we do get to hear with out stolen samples....i blame fruity loops myself  got to say tho.... they have made some killer tracks...but how hard is it really when u steal the hook? not borrow it.... completely steal it.... don't show much imagination really when the samples used are not far of the original.... minus a vocoder or whatever fx they use and a tempo change....any muppet can do that IMO @ least use a keyboard and record the hook yourself.

I think you have to remember when they hit the scene. In France everyone was using samples like that and paying royalties to use them. They were just pushing for the French market and somehow slipped international. Hey they are good, had the best equipment in the world, loads of samples, loads of patience and the were a refreshing breeze for the radio sh*t that was being played at the time. You can't beat that VOCODER.

I don't think it's about cut and paste I think it's about creativity. For me the end product is more important then how you get there. But then again what do I know?
