The good brother Suave sent in this compilation video of what’s said to be every single sample Kanye’s used. Taken from LupEND88′s YouTube channel, the clip shows the original sample source then Kanye’s creation. Now, do we know if this is every song Mr. West has sampled for his albums? How the hell should we know? I’d say at least his first four studio albums are covered since the video was originally posted in 2008. We’ll leave any missing material for the wiz kids to decipher and make note of. But, the listen was entertaining enough to kill time on a Saturday morning.
Download the mp3 version here if you want but I like the animation and annotated notes on the video a lot more.
As an extra, there’s video of Pusha T’s recent visit to DJ MoonDawg at Chi-town’s WGCI and he opens up about the G.O.O.D. compilation Kanye first mentioned a few short days ago. Skip to the 5:40 mark to hear Pusha Ton say he’s four songs in, talk on possible producers for the album and other goodies like Push’s previous problems and alleged shots at Cons, Drake, etc. Props to Perajok for the find.


That’s been one of my favorite YouTube videos for almost 2 years now. Gotta love the wide range of music and using it to create something and refreshing to hip hop.
Dope.
This really shows how talented he is. Anyone can sample a song but you always know its good when you cant recognize the sample. People say he samples too much but hey if you make it your craft then they cant tell you nothing.
Great video, I’m surprised I haven’t seen it before. I wish he could have included some of the tracks Kanye did for Common, those were some of my favorite samples he’s ever done.
I understand why that’s cool but as a producer you HATE that ish. Producers take pride in finding stuff folks can’t recognize. Listen to Premo’s rant on Moment of Truth…
i remember watching this back in ’08. just wound up watchin the whole thing again. it’s such a great array of songs and really shows where this guy’s genius lies.
@Dunn, here’s a video of how The People by Common was made, my man Rudolph Lyrics remakes it on his MPC in this. Gil Scott Heron “We almost lost Detroit.” http://youtu.be/nZSynY7YsdU
