WOW...I knew Kanye sampled a lot, but I never realized how many songs he's done, and the span of genres he uses.
Interesting! Every song Kanye has sampled...

I think he does have some talent, but I think the extent of his talent is overrated. If he were such an artist, he wouldn't need to sample other people's music and he'd be able to compose music himself. He may be one of the most talented people in his genre, but compared to the legends that he compares himself with like MJ, Elvis, Stevie Wonder, etc, he comes up short IMO. |

That's pretty cool. I knew about a few of those. Most I couldn't pick out until this video pointed them out even though I know most of those Kanye
songs as well as a few of the originals.
I'm not all that surprised by all the different genres he pulls from. He has always struck me as a real fan and a student of music. |

I've always thought he was a bit overrated. Not a huge Kanye fan...

That is pretty cool. He's very creative though to even think of adding any of those songs. I tried to count and that was about 42 songs dude.

I don't think the dude's that talented. His lyrics are pretty bad.

Uhm. It seems like every one of my favorite songs by him happen to be the ones that are heavily sampled. Maybe I just like his ability to pick samples?

Hey he's a good sampler.
 And they forgot one. He sampled the Jacksons' Give It Up from the Triumph album for Homecoming.

Wow. I used to get mad about him not winning certain Grammys or other awards. Now after seeing that, I think he's been given way too much credit.

Not a fan of this dude and I hate it when people cover/sample other peoples music alot. A cover or two.. fine.. but all this shit? He needs to sit down with
his 'superior' ass.

Most of you couldn't make a decent song if your lives depended on it.
 Whether he samples or not, he makes good music. It's better music than
most people can pull off and better than most of the other stuff that comes out these days. *shrug*

Not a fan of his but rap music was originated by using samples and laying lyrics over it. I mean I can't count how many different rap songs in the early
'80's used Le Chic's "Good Times". That was all rap was in the beginning...

Samantha: You're right, I can't make music to save my life, but I still don't like his music
Different tastes, that's all.

Honestly, I don't know how someone could say that he isn't talented. It's not like he randomly chose samples and then threw them around. That shit
takes effort and creativity.
