Ok, I understand that sampling is an art and can be done tastefully, but when someone builds their entire career as a producer out of ripping off old songs, then passing them off as their own, well it really grinds my gears. especially considering nobody even thinks kayne is a great rapper, they just listen to his songs for the hooks. which are not his.
Through the Wire "Through the Fire" - Chaka Khan
Jesus Walks "Walk With Me" - ARC Choir
Slow Jamz "A House is Not a Home" - Luther Vandross
All Falls Down "Mystery of Intiquity" Lauryn Hill
Heard Em Say "Someone That I Used to Love" Natalie Cole
Gold Digger "I Got a Woman" - Ray Charles
Diamonds from Sierra Leone "Diamonds are Forever" Shirley Bassey
Hey Mama "Today Won't Come Again" Donal Leace
Stronger "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" Daft Punk
Coldest Winter "Memories Fade" Tears for Fears
Power "21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson
Hell of a Life "Iron Man" Black Sabbath
I wish he would just call himself a cover artist, because he does pretty good renditions of most of these songs, they just aren't his. And the majority of his fanbase have no clue. Just grinds my gears, that's all.
