    No, because een if they're lifting a familliar chord progression, etc,
    there will still be enough elements added by the new set of musicians to
    alter it somewhat. Whereas sampling in this context results in the end song
    riding on the success of the song it sampled, which sampled something else.
    I'm not against sampling per se, but I do think it's rather ludicrous to
    sample a tune that sampled a tune. Like that recent J-Lo tune (I'm still,
    I'm still Jenny from the block...) that sampled that popular bass & flute
    riff that came out in a hip-hop song a couple years ago. I respect people
    who sample the most unlikeliest tunes, and present them in a different context.
