Being an artist or band in today's new music industry is not an easy task. The difficulty is not in the form of what you have to do, but how much you have to do it and timing is crucial to the success or failure of a band's endeavors. Rallying the troops to get behind your brand and keeping them loyal to you is easier said than done. It requires effort on both parts, the band and the artist, in order to work properly. These days, music acts need to stay engaged with the fans, and in order for a fan to see their favorite artists thrive with recognition they must also properly support those artists.

The music scene is full of urban music (and other genres) producers that love to sample. Sampling can be considered an art in itself. I don't necessarily agree but what I can say is that using someone else's creation to create your own is like wearing someone else's clothes when you have your own. The mindset, to me, is I want to look as good as you do or better than you did with the same stuff you got. I honestly have no problem with a person that samples. I really didn't care to do it myself. I may have sampled 3 or 4 classic songs in my life as an urban music producer. Even then, I didn't care to do it.

This is not the basis on why I won't add sample based music in my catalog. My main motive for this is because I want a catalog of original material. Original music is easier to clear for licensing. There's no red tape to cut through or any aspect of copyright infringement to worry about.
