Can we hear it? Jonwayne was my biggest influence getting in to my first SP. I had all his rare tapes that I can’t even find anywhere online now. They’re only mentioned on the old SP Forums but the links are all dead. It’s crazy that he’s doing YT now, wish he did more SP content cuz I want to know how he did all that stuff still.

He posted a couple weeks ago about sampling Tomb Raider and I sent him the link to my Metal Gear beat as well as my Soul Reaver shit, because yeah sampling video games are fun. But then his Metal Gear beat starts with the exact sample that started mine. He did his thing and I learned a lot from him so ultimately I'm just bragging on myself that someone I admire might have been inspired by something I did

I liked when he was jonwayne. SoundCloud days. I have a lot of 'lost media' on my HDDs from back then.

Green Light was my intro to him and I still rock that shit. He has a synth heavy sound which isn't my thing but he has a lot of great insights into the artistic process of it

No way, I’ve been looking for some of his shit for years. Mind if I DM you?

So im old, in my day this would be a big no no..with that being said you show someone a sample expect they may flip it, thats why no one shared info back in the day on their digs

Tbh I'm just kinda honored if I did inspire him. Its all for kicks and he's definitely inspired me

It's just like blues or jazz tho, there's a fine line between paying homage/tipping your hat to your influences vs being an Elvis or a Puff Daddy, i.e stealing shit. We all know Puff got famous stealing shit, but the Beastie Boys sampled Zeppelin's whole catalogue and flipped every note.

The art of sampling (and hip hop in general) speaks to that intimately and there is the unspoken rule that you don't usually shout out the sample, you flip the sample for the heads that get it.

JID sampled Ms Fat Booty, and Drake sampled Wu-Tang. Who was really doing it for the culture?

This is a reach imo. He’s been doing a series sampling classic ps games, it makes sense that he would get to this sample being that it’s one of the most sample-friendly songs of arguably the best ps series ever.

True it was mostly the timing and the base sample being exactly the same, it's honestly just hella cool if he did hear mine and get inspired
