Headline: Lizzo slams sampling laws as 'racist'
Caption: The Truth Hurts singer called out legislators for "policing Black art" in an interview with YouTube series Million Dollaz Worth of Game. "The first time people started sampling was who? It was rappers in the '80s and '90s," Lizzo began. "They were sampling records because they didn't have access to big studios. They didn't grow up learning how to play bass and stuff like that. They created the genre of hip-hop through sampling records in their parents' vinyls and stuff. There were no sampling laws back then.”
