It seems like in most music these days, you can hear bits of music back in the day. Some say that originality is gone... what say you?

I think it's always been a standard. Look at some of the songs from the 50s there's quite a few. Beachboys copied "sampled" chuck berry. In the 80s Vanilla ice samples queen. Rinse and repeat for each generation.

I'll say something from a DJs perspective sampling at time can be really awesome. Take for example, Chic's "Good Times" at the break it makes for a really easy transition to "Rappers Delight". Sourceplay can be fun.
