I think you meant people flipping purchased loop packs, and even then I disagree.

J Dilla made his music with samples. His rhythms are so complex that there are literal PH.Ds writing books about them.

Aphex Twin and Burial are another two artists that prove that it takes incredible skill and talent to cook samples and transform them into something new.

Also, if anyone is looking for more suggestions of amazing sample-based artists: Madlib, Avalanches, DJ Shadow...

It's an entirely different genre than what most people think of when they hear "electronic music."
