All about Samples from past to today in Electronic music:
We can see that all these street presences and artists from the streets became popular because music became easy as today people have "Samples". Listen to this before understanding what is Samples.

After hearing these 2 songs you will feel that Jeniffer Lopez has stolen Bappi Da. Well No, listen to this as well.
This was the song that was copied from Jenifer Lopez.
Sampling is being Criticised initially.
But the rise in technology of electronic music has led the sampling's future bright. Then the smartphone industry got raised as we know that today the majority of people using smartphones are 25 years old. The Internet made people enjoy music from all over the world. This not only made consumption of music more but also a good platform for startups to invest as the profit margins are high. Today the majority of music producers in India who make only samples are making ample money by selling them in the online markets.
Sampling's rise became more lit when the rap culture came to India. Today we see such producers which are famous worldwide and the popular DJs buy beats from them. It is that thing which is both time-effective and cost-effective. Initially, a song uses to come in the final stages for around 2-3 months. But today we can see that the same song is coming finally in 2-3 hrs because of Computers and the internet.
Conclusion:
We can see that change in time is needed and the human brain is hunting for curiosity brings new things and the existing things are being improvised and the same thing is done with music. Every second change in technology, music will bring big revolutions in the coming times. So till then enjoy it as always have been doing it.
