Isn't part of what makes Jay Z's decision to release vocal-only tracks for remixing cool that he actually made the decision?
Everyone seems to be going at this from the Jay-Z angle. But unless I read the story wrong EMI owns the copyrights to the Beatles work. I didn't read anything about how the Jay-Z camp felt about this.
I think they'll find that while samplers can recreate the basic acoustical sound of an instrument perfectly, it just can't handle the incredible detail and expression that comes from having a good musician play the instrument live. I guess I could understand it in a normal play, but in a musical?
