slate.com — Bridgeport is an unwelcome addition to the music world: the "sample troll." Similar to its cousins the patent trolls, Bridgeport and companies like it hold portfolios of old rights (sometimes accumulated in dubious fashion) and use lawsuits to extort money from successful music artists for routine sampling, no matter how minimal or unnoticeable.

It's impossible to define "real music". So get over it.If you like the sounds and it feels musical to you - it is music.If people like rap as music you can't tell them they're wrong.

"I'm not getting into this argument, because I talk to recording arts students everyday and they will back up everything I just said."No, you're not getting into this argument because *you* can't back your own opinion. Learn how to talk without offending someone who just happen to disagree with you - and support their argument with anything but bad behavior. If I were you, I would've shut the f**k up when rasbill made you look like a clown.
