“The fact that [Copyright Criminals] tries to (forcefully) situate the art of sampling within the new, supposedly grander “remix culture” is not only unfair to the chief architects and pioneers of the art of sampling, it’s an utterly absurd gesture to hip hop/rap culture in general, as it implies that hip hop is a part of remix culture…not that remix culture itself is, in part, an outgrowth of the outer fringes of the hip hop/rap music tradition.”
