To be fair, the entirety of Ghosts I-IV was released under a Creative Commons open license with the express intent to allow its use in other works. So Lil Nas X sampling from it is about as fair game as you can get. Heck, even Trent Reznor himself reused parts of Ghosts to create the Academy Award-winning soundtrack for The Social Network.

I tend to believe that the difference between good sampling and bad sampling is how lazy they were with it. For the good stuff, either new elements are grafted on top, like a lot of the hip-hop and rap songs, or it's 'chopp'd and screwed' like the Fatboy Slim example, samples tweaked to the point where they are unique in of themselves. And we wouldn't have mashups without it.
Lazy sampling changes basically nothing. But it's really rare.

The fact that Futurama sampled the same beat as NWA's Straight Outta Compton blows my mind.
Also the 90's hit Playas Club by Rappin 4Tay used a sample of Judy Clay and William Bell's 1968 hit "Private Number". Also a group called Nightmares on Wax sampled this song for You Wish. There are others that sampled Private Number.

I agree with the idea. Chucking samples of older songs into new ones isn't necessarily a lack of creativity, but finding a new way to use an existing thing: Innovation. And I always love hearing an older song for the first time and going, "Oh my god, that's from such and such a song!" Or, in reverse, finding out that a song has a sample in it and then seeking out said old song. It's no different to rehashing old songs into new media (such as movies or video games), there's no reason to deny people of the past, just because they weren't there at the time

The whiplash of going from NWA and Public Enemy to Ed Sheeran and the Powerpuff Girls is hilarious!
