n. The way that a good majority of mainstream hip-hop songs get their melodies. Technically, it's a form of sampling; an interpolation is basically borrowing (or stealing) the melody of another song and recording it as your own. In theory, it's supposed to be done legally, although there have been cases of artists reusing melodies without permission, which have led to lawsuits.
Girl Singing "Changes": "That's just the way it is! Things'll never be the same!" That's my favorite 2pac song!
Music Snob: 2pac didn't write that! Bruce Hornsby did! It's an "interpolation"!

A great band. Every song they wrote is pretty f**kin awesome. They're music is kind of gloomy but not emo. They have released three albums excluding the albums that contain their singles.

The vocalist of this cool band, Interpol,and is one of the weirdest but coolest guys in the world. He probably doesn't care about his looks but he's gorgeous.. and their music is genius.

From Latin interpolare, Latin interpolatum, from inter (“between”) and polire (“to polish”).
Interpolation provides a means of estimating intermediate points.
In other words, it's estimating in-between values.

Let's interpolate to get in-between the values.
