But about the music? Is it any good? Well, here’s a hip hop number from there that’s right in the pocket from this forum post. (Here’s more good stuff by this guy, who’s a Quebecois).
you know, I worry about all these BY-NC samples out there (including at ccM) – almost all commercial and other libs out there nowadays are “royalty free” and I hope the NC samples don’t turn producers off to CC samples in general.
NC is creating a huge viral mess to clean up. I know that CC as an organization is totally married to it, but in some ways the situation is worse than if NC didn’t exist at all.
Here’s another cool track:
