It depends: sometimes, I am very impressed and fascinated because the
sample has been recycled in a way in which, even if it is still fully
recognizable, makes it sound very different, in terms of mood. An
example of this, for me, is how Portishead used Isaac Hayes' Ike's Mood
1 in Glory Box. Other times, I feel very disappointed, and that the
sampling was almost a form of plagiarism. For example, Lately used to be
one of my favorite Massive Attack's songs until I heard Lowrell's Mellow
Mellow Right On...
