I can't 100% get behind this mentality.
there are some things "wrong" with sampling, but there's not something wrong with "all" sampling. or "any" sampling at all.
it's complicated.
If you make songs 100% our of samples, that's not typically good unless you can do something like this

And even daft punk is a stretch in this case because SO MUCH OF IT is based entirely around ONE sample from ONE other song, and it's usually a hook or part of the chorus, It's almost as lazy as vaporwave
I have no complaints about SOUND, you can sample a ton and sound great and create something really unique, BUT, it doesn't take nearly as much effort or thought, since quite literally someone else already did a bulk of the work for you.
I guess the point is, Sampling isn't the problem, LAZY SAMPLING is the problem.
For instance,
One more time is a good example
Harder better faster stronger is a bad example
Face to face is a good example
Ugly boy (die antwoord) is a bad example (really lazy sample of aphex twin)
Smack my bitch up (prodigy) is a good example
リサフランク420 / 現代のコンピュー is a bad example, it could have been made in 10 minutes for fucks sake it's literally 2 samples from a song on loop pitched down with an effect or two slapped on, and looped, with no other change, not even chopped up, and no other sounds.
Don't get me wrong I'll still listen to floral shoppe because I like it better than the things that where sampled, but it's still bad production, which makes it a guilty pleasure.
If you want honesty, you have to be aware of what it is that you're doing. If you KNOW that you're basically being "that guy", and you make your music Knowing that, go ahead, be that sample-happy madman. If anything it'll give you a chance to experiment with other things at the same time, and understand production better in the process. after all, looking at those daft punk examples, and then look at, I dunno, get lucky, or the Tron legacy soundtrack. They can produce – now.
I think it's a good idea to get good at making music with no samples at all, that's what I aim for myself, but every now and then I do make something that's not only sampling, but sample heavy. you gotta strike a balance, and respect the differences between sampling and production. If you do that, you're good.
but that's just like, my opinion man.
