From its roots in Jamaican reggae and dub, hip-hop has always relied on the creative reuse of prerecorded material.

When it comes down to it, survival at this place depends on perspective. After refusing to let an 8-year-old beat him in a race in the movie Prefontaine, America’s greatest distance runner tells his girlfriend, “All my life people have told me, ‘You’re too small, Pre. You’re not fast enough, Pre. Give up your foolish...
