base talk Female Artists Who Have Sampled The Most Tracks

[Bhabylon]

Some of these artists sample and do it brilliantly, bringing something new

Other people on this list are lazy and rely on the nostalgia to carry the song for them. Big Difference!

They are counting unreleased and remixes. 

and also skits in the music videos lol

[Rotunda]

The fact that 75% of the Top 12 are Black (and at least two of the non-Blacks borrow very heavily from Black artists) but atrl is still going to pretend like there isn’t a cultural significant to the usage of sampling in Black music, and still use it as a cheap drag.

Some extremely talented people on this list. Not the #1.

What has Kelly sampled?

Kelly never sampled a song

That twitter user didn't check their facts. In the 'whosampled' page appears '38 Kelly Clarkson samples' songs, but those are 38 songs from other artists that actually sampled Kelly's songs

Lowkey, Nicki’s mixtapes shouldn’t count, as for any rapper that did mixtapes 

The fact that Cupcakke made two mixtapes with 0 samples is so impressive.

Lauryn Hill has 92 songs? 

[jomarr]

Wait Britney self-sampling a lot of her old songs is kinda iconic

More like, she has 'sampled' 92 songs, but from what I saw it includes featurings, her work with The Fugees, and it includes when she sampled Killing Me Softly in a few featurings although it's her song 

[Hyune]

Not really surprised with this list

[PopThatCorn]

Misleading totals and really just a pointless list overall.

 

Sampling is a big part of R&B and hip-hop music, anyone using a music forum should already realize this.

It’s also apart of dance music, but lists like this are interesting to some of us so what’s the problem? Most agree that many use samples well. 

[EmailMySwift]

I knew Nicki and Beyonce would be #1 and 2, respectively, before entering. 

[Cloröx]

Taylor is nowhere to be found, what a flop 

[Cain]

Dua QUEEN of originality

[Letemtalk]

Where are they getting their data from, and why no link to the source?

Do they use this site?

https://www.whosampled.com/

 

Because I'm pretty sure none of this is official, it's fan submitted claims, just like using genius.com for finding the meaning of lyrics.

Maybe they're right some times, maybe a lot of the time they're wrong.

CASE 2: JANELLE MONÁE

 

The remaining examples demand further scrutiny. First, although it is clear that “Wondaland” includes allusions to Christian worship music, it is misleading—and probably incorrect—to cite a single hymn as the source of the word “Hallelujah.” Similarly perplexing are the other two reported samples from sources beyond the popular music canon. The “Suite III Overture” is at least superficially similar to the Willy Wonka end title music (Figure 14), but to suggest that the former borrows from the latter seems a bit of a stretch. Likewise, the reported interpolation of Debussy’s “Claire de Lune” in Monáe’s “Say You’ll Go” is partially correct. If one were to listen only to the segments at the time stamps provided (Figure 15), though reasonable to infer that one inspired the other, it’s a bridge too far to call one a quotation—much less a sample—of the other. Later in “Say You’ll Go,” however, there is an extended, “verbatim” quotation of “Claire de Lune.” Though transposed a half-step higher, and other layers are added atop it, the borrowed material from Debussy is otherwise unchanged. One wonders why the user who created this entry did not supply these time stamps instead of, or in addition, to the one notated in Figure 15.

Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga are the queens of subtle samples. Their samples are so subtle and so integrated to the song that I'm shocked when reading the credits section of wikipedia and finding out there's actually samples in for some of their hits/singles!

The It's My House sample in Replay is so well used.

[Fleahive]

The most boring uninspiring artists are not on this list. Sampling > 

[superben]

I'm most surprised at Mariah.

 

[popmusicisdead]

i'm sure the majority of Xtina's samples are on Back To Basics

[ariananext]

They made this and then replied with a tweet "Ariana's wrong, its actually 21 oops" as if anybody's gonna read that

for real lol the only one I can think of is The Middle in Heartbeat Song  unless paraphrasing  Nietzsche in her third biggest hit could be considered a sample

 Im pretty shocked about this.

 

But looking at the first pages, the live versions are included and even her own samples like "Deeper and deeper" sampling "Vogue" are included too.

 

That 164 isnt really legit.

Not all of them are samples at all. For example it claims that Lucky Star “samples” the nursery rhyme Star Light, Star Bright when it actually just borrows the words.
