it happens all the time. I'm sure this generation will be saying the same thing in 30 years about how Jay and Kanye made good music and criticize the current crop of music.
I love Otis, not even the Kanye/ Jay z version can top this one, this just has so much soul, Otis was a talent among st people, love this kind of music it can give you chills and make you cry and dance in a bit, Just Love it!
is their really a reason to diss Kanye or Jay-Z? because of those two people kids my age/younger that never heard Otis are now exposed to him. If anything they did good cause now people my age/younger are exposed to a new branch of REAL music and REAL R&B.
this song moves. and i gotta say, kanye made a murderous beat from it. two sides of music and they both carry hard. long live otis, long live jay, and long live yeezy.
I'm glad I knew this song long before Jay-Z and Kanye did their thing. To be fair, though, despite growing up with Stevie and Ray and the Temps and Tops, the first time I heard this song was in "The Breakfast Club." Sad, I know.
Who cares whether or not it was Jay Z and Kanye who brought people here? I didn't know about this music without their cover, and I'm thankful that I now know and can do some more exploring! Thank you Kanye and Jay Z for doing an interpretation on a great artist!
oh calm down... if kanye and jay z brought people here we should all be glad that this music is being shared with people who don't know it because it's truly great!
@dumbshitblog You're so damn right! Didn't knew this before Watch The Thrown but I'm happy that i found it! It's only a good thing for the younger generation who loves music :)
One can like both Otis Redding and Kayne West. Trust me. Because I do. It does not matter how one finds out about classic music, as long as they do. No matter, which comes first, fantastic music is still involved.
@StudioSkyward This is why Nujabes is so great. Not only is his music phenomenal, but it coaxes its listeners to seek out samples used for more great music.
Kanye and Jay-Z sampling this angers me. My teenage niece had no idea what I was talking about when I said they ruined a classic so I had to bring her here.
@chhs2010 Thumbs down if Kanye and Jay-Z brought you here. Its fine if they did, but you will receive no credit for that. Learn about music for enjoyment, not gratification in knowing the roots of the hook on a rap song
I'M JUST GONNA PUT IT OUT HERE, HOW MANY PEOPLE KNEW THIS SONG AND LISTEN TO IT BEFORE JAY-Z AND KANYE SAMPLED IT? I DID CUZ I GOT MY DAD THE OTIS REDDING GREATEST HITS CD FOR HIS BIRTHDAY BACK IN 1998 THIS, SITTING ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY AND MR PITIFUL WERE MY FAVORITES FROM THAT CD
@rob38258 i do. I am however thankful that his music is being spread around. whether from donkey in shrek or jay-z and kanye west the fact that his music is being recognised by a younger generation is great! I think that however your introduced to one of the greats as long as you recognise that it is nothing short of a masterpiece and can appreciate it for what it is than that is an amasing thing and should be celebrated!
To be honest with everyone. Kayne West and Jay-Z messed up a classic, and turned it in straight Hip-Hop. I started to become a fan when I listened to this when Chris Brown did his version on the This Christmas
I first listen to Otis Redding when my stepdad play his greatest hits in the car, after seeing the movie "American Gangster"..after about three songs I just fell in love with his music. I was about 16, I was into so much into ol'skool I wanna be apart it. I rap but mostly soul and from the heart music. Right now not too long ago had a downfall but i still wanna write and make music. I'm trying my best to write but it's not coming out right nowadays..I don't wanna give it up..he's a inspiration..
Please, young people look, search and find where it all started!!!! Otis Redding died in the seat, frozen, where he sat on that plane. Give all music a try, his music as well as others should be in the billions!! Listen to the, "Old Music" and hear where they got the, "New Music", from!!!! Me, I'm in my twenties and I know where the greatest, Big Poppa, got a lot of his songs... The Jackson Five old songs!!! Just the beats, but isn't that what makes the music?!!!!!RIP BIGGIE!!!!!
i just want to say that.....this is really that shit! it is si on point on all levels. classic, love, the meaning, the instruments, he hit the notes i mean goodness!
@misofani1 Your Right But Nobody Says That When People Sample All Them Other Songs And If U Really Love Music Which Im Not Sayin U Do U Would Like It A Little Its Not Like They Dragged His Name Through The Dirt And Plus Becuz That Song Came Out It Makes The Original More Famous Cause People Want To Hear The Original Song To See How They Sampled It. U Need To Think
@Arturokresh horrible song. absolutely horrible. they keep cuttin off my man ottis. beat sux. lyrics are ass. to all the nigs out there now in the rap game. stop killin good music.
@91Definite It's in the beat, and i got enough knowledge to know that in these beat be Otis. Man, I love american raps, but i love too soul and blues...
@Arturokresh I understand but they didn't really try making it lyrically, when you use a sample like Otis you should really take time and think whatchu wanna talk about especially with soul..
@sportzplayer7007 mmm I don't know how to interpret this... :/ Excuse me, i'm spanish & i'm learning to speak english :) You can't order an apple to a banana's tree.
Thumbs up if you notice the 'BAPHOMET HEAD' replacing the stars that should be emblazoned on the American FLAG in this vid.........very disappointing Jay and Kanye :(
