Streaming definitely destroyed sampling as a musical method: every sampled recording house wants their slice of the pie, and if the income is low as it is with streaming records, you minimise your sampling to keep more pie to yourself.
Many early great hip hop albums that rely heavily on sampling are not on streaming services because the sampled record companies can't come to an agreement, and I'm sure today's artists see the hassle and minimise their sampling.
Examples are Frank Ocean's 'Nostalgia, Ultra' and De La Soul's '3 Feet High and Rising'
