i dont know if i ever laid out this shit i discovered about kanye west, but i was listening to aphex so it reminded me
in 2007 this episode of SNL aired w/ kanye as musical guest & featured a lonely island skit
this is the audio from that skit
3 years later My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy came out w/ the tune "blame game"
then this interview w/ AFX
“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]
so not only did kanye & label rip off afx w blatant sample he also bit the lonely island lol
pretty pathetic
also if this is repost w/e

Yeah it's showing having principles, but I dont think it bothers him. On the contrairy though, he likes to fuck around with stuff like that.
Like when he agreed to do a madonna remix - on the condition that she would have to interpret farm animals instead of singing.. he just enjoys playing around with stuff like that. I hope .

You're being a bitch about sampling man. Just like graffers who bitch about getting taken out and stuff like that.
As if it didn't take inspiration or influence to make the original...

Like being inspired to the point where it's no longer just inspiration.

That doesn't make sense lol
At least tell me where that point is. Is remixing biting?
