Here's Albini recounting buying child pornography while in Hamburg:
Jaded as I am, I can't help but flip seeing a girl and guy of twelve or thirteen, tops, ramming Martel bottles up each other's asses. These are not the Dutch equivalent of abused trailer-park kids, either. They look to be in excellent health and seem to be honestly enjoying this. Makes all the conventional arguments against this kind of thing seem really silly.
They're kids. Kids like to play with their own and other people's privates. They're just being photographed at it. Now, people who get a voyeuristic charge out of watching them, like me, I guess, well, we've got some grip-on-reality problems. There's maybe 1% of all pornography that has any effect on me, and it's definitely not a turn-on very often. But when it is, and it's as weird as this, it's pretty hard to take.
And here's him promoting his friend, Peter Sotos', chld pronography magazine:
The cover of PURE 2 is a guy holding open a toddler's puny hole so his spuzz can dribble out. The girl is past crying. She is destroyed. [...] Like I said, I like that sort of thing
Sotos later defended his use of child pornography in cout, stating "child abuse is a sublime pleasure"

Albini also produced an album for Sotos called Buyer's Market, which Wikipedia describes as "sound collages of spoken word samples from parents, law-enforcement officers and victims of s*x crimes and pedophilia". When asked about his relationship with Sotos in a reddit AMA, this is what he had to say:

Finally the song that spread across the internet on places like tiktok and reddit has been found!
Normally that would be cause for celebration but it's a song originally used in a porno. Lament that the only way to hear the full version is with porn moaning and laugh at the r-slur who originally uploaded the clip thinking no one would find out.

I thought this was sort of interesting so figured I'd make a half butt post about it.
Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide from Love) by the Delfonics was a song that came out in 1968.
This song has been massively influential through music history, being sampled and covered by various artists since then
Most people probably remember The Fugees version of this song. It came out in 1996 and was massively popular (as was their album).
This song also samples Boadicea by Enya. She considered suing them for this, but decided not to after contacting them.
Anyways, back to Ready or Not.
The Jackson 5 did a cover of this song
As well as Johnny Osbourne - a famous jamaican reggae and dancehall singer
As for who has sampled this song. The list is extensive
https://www.whosampled.com/The-Delfonics/Ready-or-Not-Here-I-Come-(Can%27t-Hide-From-Love)/sampled/
Notable ones (excluding the aforementioned fugees)
Missy Elliot
50 Cent
T.I. (TWICE)
once with Nelly
and solo
MadLib
Mary J Blige
Ice-T (this is dope tbh)
And my personal favorite Three Six Mafia (actually mary j blige was probably just sampling this)
Anyways, I just thought it was interesting that that one song from 1968 was used so much in all this different shit.
The whosampled list is fricking crazy. So I posted about it.
This all started because I was listening to three six mafia. I think they're one of the dopest/most underrated groups of all time.
And they're really fascinating because of their heavy involvement with ICP and just the fact that they've been putting out music on and off for 20 years.
DJ Paul and Koopsta Knicca at one point formed a 'supergroup' with ICP called The Killjoy Club and released an album called Reindeer games.
And 36 makes frequent appearances at the gathering of the juggalos and shit like that. It's crazy.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

!metalheads Gave it a full listen for the first time ever I think. It's actually an alright song. I was impressed with that little melodic part at the end, don't think I've ever heard anything like that in metalcore
