Im a huge Kanye fan. But that last album was... Weird, you gotta be like pissed or sad to listen to that.
Speaking on his samples, He is a fucking MONSTER. His beats are EPIC. Even if they have were taken from some 70's shit. U need to know music to sample some shit like "Gone".
Kanye is our Michael Jackson, well the closest thing we got to it. His next album will be his best, mark my words. Fuck wit me or not I dont give a fuck cuz I fuck wit me.
DUUUUUHHHHHH!!!!!!....who tha fuck didn't know that????
Im slow when it comes to instrumentals. I like lyrics, always have. Fuck it lol.
i think the actual song said "Feat. Ray Charles" or something... haha
!!MUSIC IS ALL RECYCLED!!
Dont kno wat u mean bout his next album, but i agree this shit goes fuccin hard, he makes classic beats, and not to mention his beat he just made for Jay, "Brooklyn Go Hard" N they forgot he Sampled Swagga like us
Let me clear that whole next album shit up.
He is going back to the late regestion and Graduaiton style he said. No auto tune. Real rap lol. But since he went threw this shit with his mom and his wife its gunna reflect in his music. Its gunna have more pain and anger. Its gotta, and if you thought diamonds and jesus walks was raw... Wait till he goes in now.
who eva made this shit a fuckin hater so what that he took an old song and made it 100 tiimes betta all of them was sick to me and again duuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh who didnt kno this
If Defsounds think they exposing Kanye or someshit they sadly mistaken and hatin on a Genius...anybody can sample music (diddy) but only a Genius could take a classic from another day and turn it to another classic of their day...and 80% of this shit was obvious its not like he tryna hide it...He's still the most TALENTED in the game.
aint tryin to knock kayne i like that nigga but it would be nice to hear less samples thats all he do u know
Looks like the album with the least amount of songs (808's and Heartbreak) also had the least amount of samples...I cosign with Jesu2 Kanye is our generation's MJ...and 808's and Heartbreak is my favorite album of all time
your favorite album of all time?? did you just start listening to music last Tuesday?
the samples are too long
the video is too long
cant watch the whole thing lol
tho it shows that kanye listens to alot of different music
still like kanye tho...just not his last album
y'all niggas crazy i gonna say it again i fucks with kayne now call him a geniusi dig that but kayne r generations MJ lol come now u guys serious kayne dont even have the fans MJ had not even the record sales to fuck with MJ u'all better off sayin akon the modern day MJ lol but til kayne get the fans from japan and a few more white folks then u guys can say that but til tha day try again and this ablum kayne got out right now is fuckin trash i fucks with kayne but not this ablum u dig shit is weak u dig
He does have crazy fans out there in japan. He performs with the teriki boys.
I didnt say he is MJ, I said he is the closest thing we got to it tho.
Kanye don't got Japanese fans??? So I guess Toyko is not in Japan cuz them slight eyes motherfcukers LOVE Ye...Kanye make music with Pharrell's Teriaki Boyz...MJ had grown ass men wearin tight ass red leather...When Ye came out everybody jumped on his LV backpack shit...Suede jackets...Sweater Vests...Arabian Scarves...Fitted Jeans...So what if he sampled, MJ sampled some shit too...Ye aint MJ but in our generation who's a better fit?
I think you are agreeing with me right? lol
this jus shows how much influence the past can have on the present kanye is one of the best prodcers of all time
damn ye do a lot of samples
damn...dat nigga got crazy samples
but his beats be bananaz
shit diddy did it so Kanye is kool
and i like how he took samples from diff. generations and genres
he's smart
but i do wanna see a kanye beat made from scratch with NO SAMPLES
I think homecoming off of graduation is sample-free.
Im not gonna front. wouldnt know most of the songs Kanye Sampled. Only the popular ones but the ones from people like Daft punk, Bil Wither, The stylelistics, Grahm Nash Bt Express, Jerry Butler, Creative source Shirley Murdock Friends of Distintion Norman Conner, The originals etc. I would of never heard of these if it wasnt for Kanye.
yo hes the next "puff daddy" shiiiiit n niggas said puff used to sample
its been some good shit over the years recycled or not
lol everybody samples
Touch The Sky = Classic
I Wonder = Classic
Through The Wire = Classic
The Glory = Classic
We Major = Classic
It doesn't matter how many songs Kanye samples. It's his style that makes him the best Hip-Hop artist in the decade of 2000-2010 imo. At the end of the day, he's still the most creative & artistic one doin it on the mic and on produciton.
It's funny that Just Blaze did "Touch The Sky"
Go Ill!
Kanye = overrated
Im so sick of this dude and his tight clothes and emo pussy fans
LOLLL YOU MAAADDDD
and after watching the video, its obvious to see this dude has to steal other people's great work in order for people to like his own shit
fuck this poser
... U slow as in SSSSLLLLLOOOOOWWWWW
Your OUTSIDE your mind. Taking an extremely old school Rock, Jazz, R&B, Soul, or Blues song and sampling a simple chord, drum sequence, and series of string notes and turning into a classic Hip Hop Anthem is simply genius. Not saying all kanye's songs are hip hop anthems by any means lol. But all his beats are head bangers and he's a absolutely amazing producer. And if you know what COPYRIGHT is. You obviously know Mr. West has Paid and Acknowledged these artist and asked permission to SAMPLE their music. Kanye West is not a Snake Bra. He's a Genius and a SUPER producer. Hate it or love it. Sampling is a party of hip hop and adds SO MUCH FLAVOR too his beats.
hmm now i realise that kanye is quite talented. but dam he rly samples A LOT
Ya i didnt relise so much of his music was sampled.
you dumb if you think kanyes overrated
Every one of them songs he sampled he made better and im sure each one of the people he sampled from are damn happy he did since they got paid
dnt get ahea of yaself dawg im only 15 and i know a lot of thos songs are classic it only sounds better to u but a lifetime of work went into those songs there is no way to make em better
Dawson THANK YOU
Everyone is saying SNAKE, POSER, SWAGGER JACKER..
Dude pays EVERY artist he samples. Turns it into a Hip Hop Head Banger and does a favor for everyone because we all dig his music. He writes he won lyrics. Is basically a Hip Hop Master Mind
Kanye is one of the greatest producers of all time. Dope video. If you saying he steals work, he samples other peoples music and makes it into his own style. Sampling is a huge part of hip hop, and you say its stealing, thats mad ignorant.

Kanye is goin down in history...kanyes my fav artist!!!u gotta place him somewhere next to big and pac
kanyes the most mainstream backpack rapper
People are idiots lol sampling is a part of hip hop, Premo did it, J Dilla(R.I.P) did it, Kanye did it wtf lol Sampling part of hip hop get use to it, almost ever producer samples
exposed his ass
Kanye is a fuckin beast. Tell me it doesnt take creativity to take a sample, convert it into a bangin ass beat, and then spit some hard lyrics on it? No one in the game does what Kanye does.
HAhaHa super lol's at my guy who said Kanye has been exposed. How much since that make when Ye came out and said he luv paying homage and sampling, and said it's one of his greatest feats; to be able to bring so much heat to songs that were already amazing.
Wow I was actually going to talk about how amazing other artist must feel Kanye is to let go of their samples, I mean you can hate, be ignorant, and give your close minded random opinions like others on this site; but how can you deny he's great when he get these people to believe that he's good enough to let go of they samples. Who else can do that, yea Ye is a little out there but facts are he's bigger than rocket ships when it comes to this music, and he's good enough to be different and still give his CLOSE MINDED fans something to say ok, he's still kool, but remember that's just for tha close minded ones cuz REAL FANS of Ye and just music in general would say I can respect that, he's trying something new and keep it moving
2 fingers
Damn, I stopped tha vid half way thru tha first time, but damn for real someone love tha hell outta Kanye to go and do this, all I know is Ye got super ARAB Money like Busta say to get these Artist to let these amazing samples go. Ye got Giraffe money like Steve Harvey said about Michael Jackson, he has to, Damn, that's all I keep thinking, it sucks that only one of these kind of dudes come out every now and then...Wayne starting to get respected by artist you would not know of also...for instance he got Manfred Mann Band to let go of that "Blinded by the Light" sample, it should be on youtube or you can hear it off of Drought is over 6 (Reincarnation) along wit other samples. But I really think tha story is tha respect that other artist give these dudes, yet tha so-called fans think they so wack.....hmm tha ones wit money seem to have respect and tha ones without it seem to be talking all tha sh**, just something to think about
2 fingers
U act like kanye steals the whole song...he takes a sample pitch or sound or chord and runs wit it and he did hella more beats then ds and they aint all sampled

This nigga is intelligent.tk care Kanye.
Yung
just responding to the comment that kanye pays everybody for those samples NOT dude has been sued alot for not paying or giving credit to alot of those artist cant hate tho he does get it poppin on them beats so when it comes down to him being a super producer he is BUT you cant compare him to swizz bc he get you hype and samples will always win over originality bc it has that soul
kanye is one of my FAVORITE producers. but his last albumm.......ummmm you gotta be pissed or sad to listen to that. wasnt really feelin it cuz i wasnt on his level. im not a fan of these t pain rappers...
Yeah it take much talent to take some old shit from the 70's and change the speed and add a couple "uhhhhhhh" "yeahh" "uhhhhhh yea" I agree, that be dope.
