G-Eazy Sample Quotations

In the past, my process would start with a sample of another song, and I'd chop it up and use that as the basis of the song that I was making.

When you sample something, you're using the crutch of borrowing chords and melodies from a song that's already great, that's already stood the test of time, that's already special. When you're trying to do it all from scratch, you're writing something brand new that has to stand on its own.
