Amen. To be fair, I was so young / naive when I first heard Paul’s that, even though I liked it, I failed to grasp the genius in creating such a coherent collage of samples. It was probably a good year or two later that the penny really dropped. I understood stuff like Sure Shot and Root Down were built around particular samples, but the idea that like 95% of the music you were hearing on Paul’s is sampled seemed ridiculous.
