No one, and I mean absolutely no one, is confused about what it means to sample a song, or to create a sample, or to take a sample from a song. That would be a tedious semantic argument of no value.

So most people interpret would instead interpret it as snide commentary on the illegitimacy of sampling as an art.

Which most people also don't like.

Hence the downvoting.
