Sometimes you find a specific vocal sample that fits the style you’re going for more than your own voice though. It’s one thing to just take the sample and drop it on, in which case I’d agree with your view since your track will be the same as anyone else’s who does it that way, but chopping and mangling the sample, or using little snippets is where the creativity comes in. And even then at the end of the day, all people care about is if your track sounds cool, so I can understand the fun in the process of recording from scratch, but it shouldn’t really be tied to merit or anything.
