Special Kanye Sample Lesson for PS96 in East Harlem, NY

[strongerBAEZ]

I love poeple who enjoy Music !

[thephonyfranchize]

what samples does he use for vocal samples like... when a crowd yells "yeah" or a lady saying "you know what" I cant think of what song its in right now but he uses it a lot.

[slikdarelic]

this is the main reason sampling is cool... but strict sampling laws have really limited our creativity as producers... but WE will KEEP sampling!!! we cant be stopped!!! its in our blood!!! and too all the old artists that hate sampling? ur preventing ur music from bein rediscovered by the youth, and popular again... think about what ur doin b4 dismissing sampling as stealing... most of us arent even making a worthy dollar off ur music.... just something to think about.

[blackjono2000]

There's a good energy in the gym!

[killahking8]

XD... your face when the champion sample came in waz timeless, repeat repeat repeat

[xsexyxnanax]

wow i was in his class ... thanks for the lesson

[ooohnanana]

just blaze actually made the "touch the sky" beat

[cameron829sm]

CHAMPION IS A STEELY DAN SAMPLE?!?! DAMN THATS PRETTY DOPE. Kanyes an amazing artist, i hope to be half as good as him one day and I hope to know half as much about music as you one day Funktuall. Props for the video.

P.S. I'd love to talk music some time man!

[xXJwillXx]

I HOPE THIS VIDEO SHOWS U HOW MUCH OF A GENIUS KANYE IS **SAMPLING IS NOT EASY**

[jerm867]

[madmusik33]

good video man kanye is one of my fav artist so thanks for doing this

[roboedar]

props for educating the youth on the art

[MrTBmusic]

Your energy convinced me to subscribe

[PdubzCrew]

Kanye is dope and all but he just takes a loop and got professional's playing instruments around it etc......unlike J-Dilla and 9th wonder who strictly use only the sample

[PierreeuGeo]

@PdubzCrew dawg, yes its true that he uses pro musician and all, but dude samples like crazy man, and i mean that in an amazing way!! he does the drums and samples, sampling is difficult man, i myself make soulful beats using beautiful samples, and its hard man

[EMARTINEZ3055]

FRESH!

[eclipse300]

3 people listen to LiL wayne haha istead of real music. funktuall man ur a music god. where do u get all your records from?

[andersingram]

mate ! i love that you had 'move on up' at your wedding !

love that tune

LOVE IT

peace from scotland

[sonep511]

my dad has that steely dan album. i heard him play it and was thats where his sample came from. Pops ahs a lot stuff kanye sampled

[Bladerunner55217]

It's nice you can show these kids in a nice way and 100% proof way that they are listening to sampled songs. Most people older people tell kids in a negative way.

Great job. Our kids need to know some history to get their minds working ..

[veneracci]

you should be a music teacher, if you were my teach, i swear i would never skip your class

[basit619]

you just proved the legacy of kanye a true musical genius

[CapitalPnogame]

you the ish meng....long island stand up!!!!

[bbouro]

nice.....expanding my horizons

[iminzc]

well i bet you cant find where the new album is sampled from.

movie short name is called "Runaway" check it out tell me where the music was sampled from.

[shaunwilson94]

@iminzc If you got the album read the little booklet and it tells you there bro

[sonep511]

@shaunwilson94 not many people by the actual albums, they usually download it

[impatboy]

Through the Wire samples Chaka Khan.

[Doza8791]

You are the type of Music Teacher that schools need, man. Keep it up, KEEP TEACHING ME!

[joeybela29]

i love your videos man. keep doin your thing

[NapAllDay718]

hahaha that would be sucha raw ass wedding song to come out to!

[RaynMan718]

The only sample i didn't know about was the Michael Bolton one.

[illone1981]

Check 4, Beats by Wallace Green

sample, chop , sequence, I love it.

[11Branx]

ey funktualll!! your the coolest white guy ever!!!....

[funktuallshairline]

only thing that stinks more than his caps are his t-shirts. what a sloopy wigger

[midwest]

lol ass clown XD

[Scathe8000]

thats so awesome, educating the kids on this

[makydocious2]

I Love your sample videos...been watching them for awhile now...Just Blaze was the actual producer for the Curtis Mayfield joint and the only guest producer to be on that album except for Jon Brion who helped Kanye most likely with the piano sounds. He also taught kanye how to use the Roland TR-808 which led to his 808 album.

[SpaceMonkeyZ101]

@funktuall Do u Have Any Sample Suggestion for Me Doesn't Matter What Just Lay em On me..

[arlichar11]

lol this is droppin science to the kiddies ...

[dubandagame]

r u trying to point out that kayne west beats r sampled everyone already knows that why acting all mad old man

[ponginoh]

damn! the micheal bolton part killed me!

[MrBIGkilla45]

@funktuall  you should be a music teacher man

[funktuall]

@MrBIGkilla45 I already am. Students are spread out worldwide and they may come and go as they please. Far better chance of making an impact on the world this way. Regular teacher is stuck with same 30 kids a year. I do that in ONE DAY!

[luisnp08]

nice vid kanye west is da fukn best

[PhilLaurence]

2:00 I love that feeling when u hear that lil bit of the song that was sampled and u go "Ohhhhhhhhhh"

[manhoodinprog]

Who knew daft punk sampled that song as well lol. i didnt.

[KennyOisin]

I dont see why you talk in a sarcastic tone, Kanye never claimed that he didnt sample?

[ilikefireworks1]

@KennyOisin he speaking like to let everyone else know lol im pretty sure kanye knows

[KennyOisin]

I dont see why you talk in such a sarcastic tone? Its not like Kanye ever claimed he didnt sample? Every hip hop artist samples

[slim5poppa]

@KennyOisin because he made this video for a 6th grade class he says it in the begging

[calico1248]

Oh shit. I use to work in PS96 on 120st.

[SmallSteps3000]

u said ass clown to a 6th grader shocker!!!

[kaney1967]

Great video, cheers mate.

[hexicy]

The Sample He Used To Make Touch The Sky Was Just Slowed Down And Rapped To.

[S1NI5TER]

dude you fucking rock..awesome!!!!!

[gmartnz1994]

does anyone know what was sampled for the song No Mercy by Pharoah Monche?

[bigronh999]

[sedric1122]

[JediMasterJake11]

Definitely stealing the Reception entrance song idea when i get married lol

[Moseaic]

Firstly props to you DJ Funktual, just found your videos yesterday and I've watched almost half of them already.

I would just like to say that Phillip Mitchell's 'If We Can't Be Lovers' which was used to make 'Everything I am' is probably my favorite Kanye sample, just butter.

[soupoftheday14]

dude....good job! this is really funny.

[FobSquat07]

how you find all these tracks i like the michal bolton one

[bigddagenius]

kanye west is a bum all he uses is samples he never makes his own music

[MegaG15]

Everyone should see this vid on TV.. on ALL channels... because most of the people nowadays are thinking: Kanye got a new song!!! but ... it isnt... people nowadays don't even know that music today exists for like 30 years... Im glad that im into all this sampling... cause than u know what real music is.

[DJBoz07]

Dude, no bull, but you have to be HE coolest and one of the most knowledgeable dudes on youtube, you deserve super fame man, all the best! wish i had a collection like yours, im gonna make a mix with some of the originals and sampled songs, ill put you down as the inspiration

[funktuall]

Right On!!!

Send me a copy!

[lifekiwi]

And yeah, you would make a great teacher. Come teach a class about hip-hop and sampling at my school.

[lifekiwi]

What kind of equipment do you use? I'm into sampling but right now I just use FL Studio. I'm interested in getting some physical hardware to play around with.

[julianfairbanks]

MPC 2000XL

[magic5865]

i always thought the never let men down track sample was a chick

[borisvonderassen]

Thanks for all the nice vids man; more people should do these things...

[parasolWAX]

but 'move on up' wasnt sampled by kanye. beat for 'touch the sky' was made by just blaze and its the only one from 'late registration' not made by kanye himself. check it if u dont believe it ;)

[PatrickStreater]

I like you

[nirvanachick05]

i luv cola bottle baby its on my iPod

[AdamLittle71]

i must say i was impressed with this... great video if i was a 6th grader i prob would have found it mad corny but this was cool...

[murphycline]

You'd make a good teacher.

[Classicman92]

dude i think your cool, i like your style, you enjoy music

[escopac123]

sampling is not as easy as kanye makes it look..peeps.

[johnsonj005]

michael bolton joint kills me haha

[lapez1292]

i dont think the songs are corny lol

[kojitube]

i hate how he sampled curtis mayfield... disgrace.

[ForBeatsSake]

kanye definitely samples some corny stuff.

[trustdnb]

A few more from the first album that i discovered in my vinyl collection:

Marvin Gaye - Distant Lover. Intro bass hits and vocal "heaven knows....every night, that i....." sampled in Kanye's "Spaceship"

Mandrill - Peace and Love. Intro yell and vocal "and his bloody army screams, screams!" sampled in Kanye's "Two words" w/ Mos Def. The drums also sound like they were taken from here, even though there arent really any clean drum samples in the track.

[SYNDICADO]

THATS THE SAMPLE!!! Been banging my head against the wall trying to figure what was in Spaceship!

THANK YOU trustdnb

[Alkemy007]

Thought you would have shown the Laura Nyro-Save the Children sample he used in The Glory...Or even the Gil Scott Heron sample he used in The People for Common but then again you would be there all day cause of the amount of samples Kanye flips..Nice one Funktuall

[huttnerd]

come to hunter college, or to new york or whatevr!

[isaachaaze3]

lol,ass clown, lol

[RandomDadd]

I might have that track at my wedding now!! One of my all time favs!!! Cheers man...looking forward to the T-Shirt

[rickyrock72176]

I thought i was sample king i got to give it to you. your your the king.

[douchebaggz]

well, rza's the real genious. but kanye's good to

[skinnylegzzz]

But wasnt it Just Blaze who did the beat with the Curtis Mayfield sample?

Still... BIG UP Funktual!! =)

[EmpressEricka]

My Song by Labi Siffre FTW

[NickMergold]

[allesbestaatreeds]

[Imathrasher]

hah dude you are so great.

[theGanj]

Where can I check out Sample Junky t-shirts?

I'm interested in buying one as well.

[funktuall]

Just go to paypal and send money to my account. if you need the account address just email me. $20-US, $25-CA, $30-UK,FR

[emceemaka]

Kanye was an amazing engineer of music and his knowledge of old music allowed him to be that amazing engineer he once was. His going into "rapping" allowed his arrogance to soar and his career sold out long ago due to it. A few years ago, he was the young prominent individual who was going to bring back the positive aspect of Hip Hop through the main stream, but he became nothing but a diappointment. Just my thoughts... One, Maka. Still great video though.

[funktuall]

People, this is the definition of what a good comment is.

[dstxb]

i 2nd that!

[tallie84]

actually i lie, hip-hop did pretty much save my life!

[tallie84]

what an awesome song to get married to! Great lesson may not save my life but DEFIANTLY makes it a whole lot more worth living :)

peace

[tank421jt]

good video brother

[funktuall]

Where are all the kids?

[cdsplaya]

Man, you inspire me, I've watched every one of you videos at least 3 times... I love it. Keep being you man.. MAKE MORE VIDS!

[SYNDICADO]

what was the name of that Blackjack song?

[yak4life85]

nice keep it up!

[juelpack]

Sampling is Great... Gets to show how artists can take something old and remake it and make it sell in modern time..Funktuall ur the man!

[becawley999]

speaking of kanye, im pretty sure he did a beanie sigel song called the truth - with a sample from Crosby, Stills, Nash called Chicago - which was about the 1968 DNC and the trial that followed for the protesters. Ye Titter is from CHicago so it made sense to me - it was funny hearing that original song on the radio - having heard the sample so many times

[barclayberkeley]

Cool vid. I love how your knowledgable on hip hop samples. I love old sampled music too. Great job man!

[grijsje]

Another great vid;)

[brucewayne21]

Word to mutha!! Man, I LOVE these vids!! Keep educating the youth man, they need to learn about true Hip Hop

[ScreechRAPS]

oooooooh, he said ass clwon ooooooooooooo

[lollerberry]

Awesome! I'd love to learn more Kanye samples!

[javejj]

kanye needs to stop ripping off.

[ver442002]

you never dissappoint

[ver442002]

you are the man!

[jjmm112]

funk.epitome of cool......hope you don`t "sell out" when you make it!!!5*.

[jjmm112]

funk.i mean-when you "make it" don`t forget the past-i.e-"jenny from the block"-lol!!.

[CapricornSuave]

See, that's why you my DJ! I might have to steal that idea when I get hitched and come down the aisle to Move On Up! It's one of my favorite Curtis tracks. Keep doing the funk the way you do, my DJ!

[RitmoNo1]

I so look foward to these vidz.....love it!! "Move on up"......What a CLASSIC!!!! If you like that sound - check "Mel Britt - She'll come runnin back" Similar guitar riff, recorded in Chicago BEFORE Mr Mayfields track. It is different but has a similar feel. It was a Floor Filler (and still is!)on the Northern Soul Scene in the UK. A classic in its own right.

[Edjjee]

great video! you might wanna know that there is a whole cd of sample´s from kanye. it´s called gold digging as sampled by kanye west it contains samples of late registration and college drop out. there is also a cd from jay and 2pac and i thought missy eliot which is also named as sampled by

[Sinosure]

Nice Funktuall! Teach it my brother!

[TheScuzzlebutt]

what´s the name of the first sample.

and the second...

and the third xD

can you list them?

[iwasanangryyoungman]

"This is my song..."

Labi Siffre - when I first heard it, I thought it was Simply Red!!!

[thuglife0650]

thats hella dope!!!

make more! :D

[masuska]

Your so crazy Funny!!!!!!!Bud

[shamrock1337tm]

pay homage man! thanks for giving props to the originators

[bboyspaz]

DUDE!! I Wish I woulda had this back when I was in school. Or right back before I got into sampling. You know what funktuall, I'm gona do a video just for you, of how I chopped a sample up and made a track, which I'm sure you'll probably know. You'll appreciate it. :) Keep it up dude. You really inspire me!!!

[79rent]

theres a diffrence beetwen listnig to music and HEARING the music... Beeing a fan of funk / soul / R&b hiphop etc myself, i love to see someone realy taking the music to their heart!
