yeah I know , I was just makin' a joke.

LOL!

Yooo that's who I literally thought it was for like 9 years

yes, that was Chris rock.

Stop 😩💀

LOL the real man behind the deep song you like... Richard D. James was asked about kanye bitch ripping off his sound and he said “Is it a sample? I actually don't know what it ended up being in the end, I'm so slack. I know that he tried to fucking rip me off and claim that he'd written it, and they tried to get away with not paying. I was really helpful, and when they first sent it to me, I was like, ‘Oh, I can re-do that for you, if you like,’ because they'd sampled it really badly and time-stretched it and there was loads of artifacts. I was like, ‘I'll just replay it for you at that speed if you want.’ And they totally didn't even say ‘hello’ or ‘thanks,’ they just replied with, ‘It's not yours, it's ours, and we're not even asking you any more.’” Kanye is fucking shit this song is fake.

Josh Miller Butthurt moron

8lorko8 How could you believe that Kanye West himself is personally responsible for sample clearance?

The song is not really even about Amber...it was a concept song! Amber Rose actual brother was like 10yrs old when the song came out. Ain't no way in hell he was buying cocaine with Kanye's money at that age. It actually shows how good of a storyteller Kanye is if people think this shit is really about Amber. Actually, the song "Lost in the World" from MBDTF was originally a poem Kanye wrote for Kim Kardashian when Kanye had serious feelings for her.

Mojo's World all that being said still a good song

He did 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯

Happy 7 year anniversary of this comment

The good old days

Facts

That's just RDJ pulling your heartstrings

Easily

Yep

sounds like shit

There's going to be a lot of fake love when that happens that's the sad part.

He’s one of the most wildly successful and popular Artists of the century lmao. Y’all talkin like you appreciate some underground artist. The fuck you talking about

john doe yet you still got people who hate Kanye because of his political views and can’t see beyond that to view his art

monojuice his arts shit as well though lol

People cant ubderstand kanye because they dont know what art is

Yes

8 years later and this is still true

@@KB-wl5gv yup

I wonder what you felt when you heard Yeezus

I love when artists drop their wall and let you inside

Slaps different

Ain't this the fuckin truth

On some introspective shit, this part reminds me of me in college, but sadly reversed. When I met my college gf, she was a very desirable, beautiful girl that everyone seemed to like. I wasn’t a virgin or anything but I had zero experience in any kind of relationship with a girl like that. After some time, rather than being grateful that she was in love with me, ego took over and all the fact that she loved me did was convince me that I had underestimated myself before, and I “really could be out here doing this type of shit” with women. Coincidentally (or maybe not), I began receiving an amount of attention from other girls that I wasn’t even close to being used to before. I never ended up doing anything too crazy in actuality, but that mindset worked like a plague that slowly but surely chipped away at our connection. Predictably, it didn’t last. Lessons learned.

That nigga stupid credit was given

@@3headedsnake388 LMAOOOO

What a dumbass really thought he could tell Kanye West what to do lmao

Don't call Richard D. James a dumb ass. He's achieved more of actual genuine value than Kanye ever will.

@@alfiecollins5617 if believing that helps you sleep at night

Same

Chris rock at the end 😂

You just read my mind 🤣

She was dirty before Yeezy

😂😂😂😂

*Marty voice* Yeezy taught you well. Yeezy taught you well

Damn life was so different back then hes talking about Facebook😂

@@bywryt2347 We had less to worry about when it was just Facebook 😂

now all i need is yall to prounounce my name, it's kanye but some of my plaques they still say kayne

I mean he had to clear the sample and Richard has a credit. He had to credit Fripp and the rest of King Crimson as well. If you're sampling, you're not trying to hoodwink anyone, its a celebration of music and its transformative. Kanye turned a good song off drukqs into a great song on one of the most beloved hip hop albums of all time. I love RDJ but let's not act like Kanye didn't turn Aphex Twins album cut into a masterpiece.

You should have a read of what Richard said about the whole thing. Not sure he cared too much but it was rather rude the way it happened. He even offered to rerecord it for Kanye. I think Richard ended up with a writing credit. Now if Kanye had try to do something with cock ver.10...

Hope you're doing well now.

If you don’t mind me asking how are you now in retrospect?

Who got custody? If her, I get it and I hope you still have a relationship with your kid.

Hope ur doing well fam, and kept in touch with ur kid?

@@Harambeeeee you'll always fuck with Ye.

Trueee

Listen to aphex twin Avril 14th

I ENVY YOU FOR LISTNEING THIS BACK TO 2010

]]0

God I wanna make you cream everyday

^ lol, dipshit pretends she knows something about production, engineering, sampling, or top level music... just no. Kanye is NOWHERE NEAR top level production or even lyricism/musicianship. He's an exceptional POP artist, which is like saying you're the cleverest kid on the short bus.

James Korben HAHAAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH he changed the hiphop genre with TCD. his production is top-tier making many albums with productions such as this album. hes not fucking pop, that was literally only graduation you fucktard.

I think people are upset because you are supposed to pay to sample someone's music. Apex Twin: I know that he tried to fucking rip me off and claim that he’d written it, and they tried to get away with not paying. I was really helpful, and when they first sent it to me, I was like, “Oh, I can re-do that for you, if you like,” because they’d sampled it really badly and time-stretched it and there was loads of artifacts.

because he didn't fucking pay for the sample and claims he wrote it. Thats why we're pissed. Read up on shit before spewing shit out of your mouth.

fuckmefdace It wasn't a sample, it was an interpolation, and it was credited in the liner notes. Read up on shit before spewing shit out of your mouth.

Yup aphex twin Avril 14

And he tried to get away with saying he wrote it and tried to get out of paying for it lol

@@woghat6130 yeah lol, I wonder if there are any other stolen samples he took from smaller artists that just flew under the radar

@@frailvoid5844 nah

What samples did he use for this one?

I feel you man

Lol focus on yourself king

She ain’t yours king. Stay red pilled ✊🏿

Head up pimp 🤞🏻

7 months late and the truth still rings true. When you love someone you sacrifice yourself for them. They have power over you. Focus on yourself, give yourself options, and never put all your eggs in one basket. Otherwise, you're going to be let down and in a dark place.

and yet people think it's the weakest song on the album

@@ikeepwalkin Those people have the taste of a rotten apple

the beat is sampled from Avril 14th by Aphex Twin. def recommend checking his shit. unfortunately the dude never got paid for the sample but yea

Having to use aphex twins music instead of making his own

​@@Adam-ro8vj he literally makes his own using samples that's just dumb

Well said

Well said.

Sup

The piano is a sample of Aphex Twin's Avril 14th

Name another artist similar to Kanye. Name another artist who can make a song similar to this.Genius

@@larrylondis785 this entire song is a sample of Avril 14th

he will never pass away fuckk off

@@Borganov20 You that's part of hip hop right. Sampling different type of songs and melodies to make something new. Most the Productors especially Funk Master Flex made their names sampling and creating Beats. And Kanye is no different. You failed the see the bigger picture

He just did album as good as MBDTF lol Go check kids cee ghost

except for when money is involved and its music, then people'll call it stealing

It's theft.

And you know for a fact that no royalties were paid?

"On Kanye sampling Drukqs’ “Avril 14th” on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’s “Blame Game”: “Is it a sample? I actually don't know what it ended up being in the end, I'm so slack. I know that he tried to fucking rip me off and claim that he'd written it, and they tried to get away with not paying. I was really helpful, and when they first sent it to me, I was like, ‘Oh, I can re-do that for you, if you like,’ because they'd sampled it really badly and time-stretched it and there was loads of artifacts. I was like, ‘I'll just replay it for you at that speed if you want.’ And they totally didn't even say ‘hello’ or ‘thanks,’ they just replied with, ‘It's not yours, it's ours, and we're not even asking you any more.’” [laughs] -Aphex Twin

Alex Cooper Claims without proofs. I'm pretty sure it might just have been a misunderstanding but he's simply attacking kanye for something he likely didn't do. Plus the guy is condescending as hell, he's trying to tell everyone how better he is and how he's the good guy of this story, when in reality it's probably not the case.

DopeAnimeMind Tired of black people appropriating our music

jordan pasek the music that was stolen from blacks?

***** I've honestly never heard a bad kanye sample

DopeAnimeMind Are you saying electronic music was stolen from blacks? Pls do go on.

DopeAnimeMind "blacks" have lead to the creation of some downright amazing musical genres, Aphex Twin's is not one of them.

Why are people so ignorant towards sampling? All producers do it, often times they don’t pay royalties

Still, its very mean to (basically) completely steal anothers artist music, then sample it and say its yours

Hopefully John is listening and gets the hell out of that relationship he has

​@@russellmorris9490 Bro 😅

TP look at the liner notes, credit is given. Pretty sure aphex twins doesn't own the rights to Avril 14th that's why management only talked to his record label that own the record. RDJ was probably just pissed that Kanye didn't want him to replay the song

@@marcobazan4187 he was probably just pissed that he acted like a bitch, more likely.

TP I’m pretty sure Kanye’s team payed royalties otherwise this wouldn’t have made it on the album... dumbass

Kanye pays royalties, IT was on the news

@@laurentf7906 smh these dumbass people have no idea what sampling is

At least the divorce is going very smoothly

💀

kanye is not alone in his team...

Really sampling is taking a sound and making it into your (own)

You do realize that was his lawyers and shit not him. I also think him saying they laughed at the end is bullshit.

Kanye used it better tbh...

Tom Hanks "[laughs]" means that Aphex Twin laughed in the interview. Duh.

holy shit

AlmightyKoora sampling is heavenly when done correctly. Which great hip hop producers like Kanye do.

Krish Korbu lol, that’s debatable.

Most hip hop songs have samples dumbass

@Lydia ever hear Ugly Boy?

Where is that person now?

yep, literally every rapper in human existence has stolen music, but no other genre has

***** yeezus is a genius though

Luke Walton its actually called day light robbery considering they stole the sample (which is actually the WHOLE original tune) and didn't want to pay or ask permission for it

Luke Walton ...you fuckin idiot

uhm.. i wuz wundering Yeezus steals other peoples sound to make up for his lack of creativity... Such a genius... Thats what you doo when your have no talent. Genius

Yeah lol

How tf u predict this from 11 days ago lmao

Lol

It pretty Relevant what happened Pete Davidson and Kanye west especially that the of the song

It’s funny af on the surface but placed in the context of the song, is actually pretty sad

I respect you

Except this isn't a cover... its a sample

respect.. for Kanye West... as a musician? haha

Yeah, toughest guy on the internet, now let's see how you feel about bitchye west

***** You could tell Aphex wasn't telling the full story and that Kanye's peeps who clear samples for him wasn't communicative, so Kanye had the freedom to remake the sample himself as that's what actually happened here. If you've heard his newer song On Sight the sample in the middle of the song wasn't the actual sample either, it was remade with a whole entire new choir. I do admit it's a bitch move sometimes, but making what you want to sample from scratch is what happened here.

***** Apart from the fact that Daft Punk's entire back catalog is based on sampling and they're considered some of the best electronic producers ever. Anyone can sample, but it takes skill to do it which Kanye has considering how different the melody sounds in the context of both songs.

But that's all it needed. Maybe it doesn't completely revamp the melody, but the changes it does have reworks it to fit the song's intended style.

Kanye may not be the biggest name in production ever, yet he's still one of the biggest and best producers in hip-hop.

i respect both artists. and when i found there was a connection between them i was uplifted fer sure!!!

Alex Json Dont talk shit about any rapper they went thru some tuff shit.Show them some respect.
