No need to discuss... As Jay Gumbs said: no need to add acapella's unless they have a big difference from the original track... It's not hard to MAKE an acapella of a regular track if you have good DJ gear. And as Ja_la said: what's the experience in hearing an acappella... People want to hear the original, they can figure it out themselves that it's sampled from the acapella if all instruments completely dissappeared...

@Jay Gumbs I was debating on adding the whole track, but that would mean 3 versions of it. Based on the discussion, I'd see if people agree that that's what we want.

@Alex_Avon I see what your saying, but the it's more about the "spirit" of the law, not the implementation of the law. We can agree that producers will likely use an acapella to sample lyrics, but when a user clicks on an acapella version in the database, are they really receiving a valuable experience? I don't know. If they can hear the whole track, I think they'd have a much better understanding of the context of the sample.

Then, there's the slippery slope of having 3 versions of tracks all over the place. Discuss.

Jay Gumbs said on Monday, 14 February 2011:
@Alex No you cant. You're just cluttering the database. I'm pretty sure a lot of producers when they sample, they use the instrumental or they use the acapellas. But Whosampled is about linking *songs* together. Unless of course there are differences in the acapella version to the original mix or the instrumental and the original mix.

@ja_la What's the reasoning behind using the acapella for Verbal Threat?

Alex Ac said on Monday, 14 February 2011:
i dont think so , i think it should stay because daft punk sampled the vocals, u hear wat they say better when its an acapella , lucky for me it was released so i could submit it

ja_la said on Monday, 14 February 2011:
Any reason that this has to be the acapella version and not the original mix? Never Seen Before exists in the database both as an acapella and as an instrumental, but not together as a complete song. I've used this as a sample for Verbal Threat, but unless told otherwise, I think it should be changed to the whole track.
