[[File:PeteRock.jpg|thumb|right|Well known hip hop producer Pete Rock]]Hip hop sampling is the art of picking a segment of music from one song and implementing that segment into a different song in a variety of ways. [[Wikipedia:Sampling (music)|Sampling (music)]] actually originated years before hip hop was originated by recording acoustic sounds and playing them slowed down, sped up, and backwards. In [[Wikipedia:hip hop|hip hop]] the section that is normally sampled is the break, or percussion section. The break  serves as the basis for the beat of the new song. Taking music from other artists and editing it to make something new is both supported and condemned, but sampling continues to be a huge part of [[Wikipedia: popular music| popular music]] today.
