    youtube.com/watch?v=1SzIYi_xHH­I

  • YOU CAN FIND THE ORIGINAL POPULAR ON MY PAGE

  • kayne is sick still rockin the asr-10

  • what is the song at the end of the video?

  • where is the finished 'popular'?????? I cant find it.I looked everywhere and all I can find is other ppl rapping over it. how the fuck did they even get the instrumental cuz I want it.more so though , I want the actual track.Did ye rap on it or did he give it to somebody else?????

  • @brix42 The instrumental comes from other producers recreating the beat, so there is no official track where kanye actually has a verse

  • Fuck everyone who's saying Ye is changing; He still looks like that enthusiastic young dude putting out college dropout

  • what is the song at the beginning

  • @Bozwerth421 Power - kanye West

  • @Bozwerth421 You should get banned for questions like that lol

  • he needs to go ahead and put out the finished song. unless hes saving it for the next album!

  • whats the sample from at 1:22.. i know its in power, but what's it really from??

  • How dare Kanye call himself original when half his s**t is sampled??? The only consolation I have is knowing Stephen Schwartz is receiving some kind of royalties for Kanye's butchering of "Popular".

  • @KDA92585  Butchering? You mean looping a line to a drum machine? Yeah he really butchered it.

    And he didn't even use this beat. He was just messing around showing people how he worked with his equipment and stuff.

  • @xHenri Yes, "butchered". Cuz whatever he did to it sounds awful. Wicked is a brilliant work of musicality and writing. Vocally and instrumentally. If he can't make it better (which is already difficult enough for anyone to do), he should just leave it alone and respect the work of those truly worthy of calling themselves original composers.

  • @KDA92585 Sounds awful to you. I bet the majority of people who have watched this video would disagree based on the amount of "likes". The original is from a musical and he's trying to transform it into a hip-hop song. That's not an easy thing to do and it takes skill. If you know anything about sampling (which I will assume you don't), producers have to get permission to use samples so they must approve or else they wouldn't clear it.

  • @xHenri I'm familiar with how sampling works. Hence the reference in my initial comment to Schwartz earning royalties as writer of the original work. And since you like to make assumptions, would you not also assume that those that "like" this video are unfamiliar with the original? Kanye may have tried to make the song his own (granted, not an easy task) and it is just not of my particular liking for that very reason. Simply because I have a great appreciation for the original. Just my opinion.

  • @KDA92585 I had seen Wicked on Broadway before I'd even heard of Kanye West. You're not the only person with a great appreciation for the original. The difference is that I have an open mind and don't cry a fucking river when somebody tries to do something different.

  • @xHenri It's a little pretentious of you to imply that I'm close-minded. The sole fact that I watched the video and am able to comment on it proves I was open-minded enough to listen and give it a chance. I didn't like it. It's my opinion and I'm entitled to it! I actually applaud any attempt at being different and original. And that's my point-- taking and using a sample doesn't make it entirely original. I don't cry a river cuz someone expresses an opinion different than mine.

  • @xHenri Amen

  • @KDA92585 you very apparently are not familiar with how sampling works. Being how first of all the original composer of a sample do almost always gain royalty second almost every rapper samples. Thirdly almost all musicians of artist "sample" in one way or the other, half of whats out there is inspired by something great or an original take on it. Don't be quick to hate

  • @ringleada1237 Why would you assume I was so quick to hate? And therefore assume that I don't enjoy music just because it has a sample of someone else's work? Agreed, there are plenty of tracks out there that have been reworked from an original piece and plenty of them are well done and enjoyable to listen to. I gave this video a chance and didn't like it. Why must that mean I lack some kind of knowledge or heart? Not everyone is gonna love everything they hear. I'm entitled to my opinion.

  • @KDA92585 WELL YOU KNOW WHAT... okay i agree and touche

  • @KDA92585 I just wanna say....I'm a producer and the "brilliance" behind Popular, which I do enjoy the song vocally, however, even though it's catchy, it's a very simple song. There isn't much brilliance to a simple chord prgression, sorry. Keep an open mind just because he took a few words and put it to a drum beat it doesn't ruin anything..It just gives people something to be creative with. And that's what music is about, creativity.

  • Comment removed

  • @KDA92585 and about 100 million copies sold from his butchering, a grip of people remixing the song Popular bc of kanye, and having a fleet of rappers actually go to Wicked to see the soucre where the song came from first later.... KANYE Is Stil The Best

  • tht beat popular isnt it originally from a movie??? whered he sampled it from

  • @megaflowcity It's from a musical called Wicked

  • didnt he give the beat the s-preme? 

  • @bdub193 it's not a beat, just a sample, I'm using it myself in a beat. Not exactly the same off course, I made it before I heard this. But if you guys like it, I can finish the beat and post it on my channel?

  • Daamn, me and yeezy using the same sample 

  • is this recorded in Hawaii?

  • @coltfan15 I believe so, yes.

  • its huey macks beat. go check it out Popular - Huey Mack

  • the beat at the end iz hot

  • this never became a song?

  • way to copy s preme

  • @CHIcaGoSkAtes except this was way before s preme

  • @CHIcaGoSkAtes S Preme actually took this from Kanye. That's why he says "Yeezy" at the beginning.

  • What was that very last beat?

  • @bdub193 Nobody knows... it never surfaced sadly

  • @bdub193 The VERY last beat is Power by Kanye West

  • Huey mack reps WV like none other, i love kanye, but huey mack has a better flow

  • Dude Huey Owns this shit! Kanye is good dont get me wrong but this song hands down Huey Mac's version's better! i know alotta people that think so!

  • @RichGentry1990 Huey Mack is ALOT better!!!

  • @RichGentry1990 S-preme has the best version

  • @RichGentry1990 kanye aint even raped to the shit yet . . . .i dont think he ever will

  • Did Huey Mack use this in his song first or did he just kinda use it from Kanye West?

  • Popular - Huey Mack

  • Is it just me, or is this potentially the best fckin Kanye beat we have ever heard.

  • @TheDavizzy too bad its not even his beat........

  • @JAYRASH123 Who's is it?

  • @TheDavizzy fuck no. no where near the best.

  • Ya'll need to listen to Pennstate, Joey (Huey Mack) shows Kanye how its done.

    Huey Mack - Popular > Kanye.

  • I dont know if yall heard of Huey Mack. But he has had a version of this for a while and it is sick. Look it up. Trust me its good

    Huey Mack - Popular

  • I heard S-Preme's version and it sounds like he kinda keeps the cutesyness, while there's a...MENACE to Kanye's version, like he made the words mean something else. To me that's the BEST thing about sampling. (((BTW, I'm thinkin' the drums he starts with are soundin' preeeettty similar to Dizzee Rascal's "Fix Up Look Sharp")))

  • Both the beats are crazy!

  • Isn't the second beat Dont Look Down.... It probably sounds different cause it wasn't finished yet, and he likes to change things around a million times before its perfect

  • hear this version /watch?v=nehgTyDYaSE this kid WAY killed itt

  • he already used the beat, check Popular by S-Preme

  • That popular beat is to hardcore for the radio.

  • beat is similar to a track called so pop u layer, on malik yusef's album called dusk. kanye worked on it with him, so im guessin thats where hes decided to slightly different version of a sample hes already used

  • The second beat is sick as hell. I was hoping to hear it on the new album, but I guess I'll have to wait and see if it's on watch the throne. I thought good fridays were over last friday?

  • @ jhuntdaprodigy yea if my resources are correct Kanye said the album should be out febuary 2011. And I hope he puts this Popular beat on the throne cuz it's not on his latest album that's out right now.

  • I'm loving the beat on YT for this that everyone is rhymin over. Possibly the biggest track & sample he could have had on his album & he leaves it off. Just listened to the album, man...I really wanna like it but it just 'Ok'. Bon Iver colab is good but from the songs that Ye's been appearing on I thought it would have some solid old school songs. Like 'The Joy'...great track. Great lyric "You aint get the memo? Yeezys back in style"....Pretty dissapointed

  • Maybe this is gonna be on the "Watch The Throne" album, that Ye & Hov are doing together. It wouldn't be the first time Jay has rapped over a broadway sample (Hard Knock Life anyone)

  • this is wet...check out my page, Im a senior in highschool with my own sound. You won't regret checking me out

  • im sorry but that was possibly the worst remix ive ever heard.

  • yeah!

  • I want to know what that beat is at 1:12

  • @jlunke3 Don't Look Down

  • @cheeseZee doesnt sound like it.

  • Fuck the popular beat what about the beat that starts at 1:12

  • @bathingape28 i need to know what the sample is!!!!!

  • hey popular huey mack kills it.....listen up

  • Please tell me the name of the song Kanye is sampling @ 1:12?  PLEASE!!!!!!!

  • @LeoDeathStarPRO not seen yet

  • There is the possibility that this could be a GOOD Friday track, or it could even be a bonus track on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Only time will tell

  • @xHenri It's not on G.O.O.D. Fridays, I get every one weekly.

  • @xHenri guess it wasnt, i hope it comes out soon tho!

  • So neither of these beats are on the album? GREAT... you let me down kanye.

  • @g0ogl3y Doesn't mean there isn't the possibility they'll be GOOD Friday tracks, or beats for somebody else. Plus there are LOADS of crazy beats on his current album

  • @xHenri Don't forget his collab album with Jay but I just want the second beat its hot.

  • This is cool, Kanye Still using the15 year old ASR 10 by ensoniq.

    I guess what ever works for you right? ROLAND 1080 Roland 2020

    Yamaha NS 10Ms, SSL Mixing Desk, You gotta Love the ZIp Drive for the Samplers,

    I could go on and On

  • This is cool, Kanye Still using the15 year old ASR 10 by ensoniq.

    I guess what ever works for you right?

  • Ye fucked up by not having this on the album lol

  • Pretty sure it's not on the album. This is what Gorgeous sounds like:

    hiphopearly.c o m/Kanye-West-ft-Kid-Cudi-Gorge­ous-Snippet-t1353.html

    MBDTF went more of an electro feel, where this is the real old, sample heavy 'Ye like we heard on CD, LR, and Grad to an extent.

  • @ldsmithson Yeah I was guessing it was gorgeous before the short film came out, now we know neither are on the album :/

  • its gunna be on the album "Gorgeous"

  • he chose that beat just because its repeated your going to be popular .. he thought it would remind him that maybe one day so many people wont think hes a dicks.

  • Comment removed

  • @brianrock209 Really? I heard he got in trouble for it

  • Comment removed

  • @brianrock209 Well if that's true then your brother is a loser. This shit was not supposed to ever get released to the public. It is my understanding that Kanye invited him and some other kids into the studio out of the goodness of his heart, and then your brother had to go and fuck it up for everybody......

  • Comment removed

  • man, thats like a mountain of recording equipment. a mountain.

  • This should come with a warning 'CATCHIEST HOOK EVER!!!'. I've been singing Pop-u-lar alllllll week!!

  • I want the new album to come out already!!!!

  • Anyone know if hes actually gonna put this on the album?

  • @CathyCoconut I've heard rumors that the beat is going to be used in a song called "Gorgeous" featuring Kid Cudi

  • Kanye bout to shut the rap game down...

  • this newxt kanye album will make all rappers talkless, didd ya hear the new leaked song "all of the lights" or "so appalled" or "all kanye new songs" XD

  • @dabstudio1 Yes, All of the Lights is incredible. The beat is absolutely ridiculous

  • @xHenri u kno wat ridiculous!!! wen i fucked yo mama! her pussy was likea cave

  • @dabstudio1 My mom is 62 years old. You like your women old and wrinkly? Oh-kay.

  • dislike. sooo much.

  • @itsmimeep You dislike good music? That's sad. I'm sorry.

  • @xHenri if this is what you think is the only good music around, then i feel sorry for you. just b/c someone doesn't like it, doesn't mean its 'bad music'

  • @itsmimeep I don't recall saying anywhere that this is the only good music around, but if you enjoy making things up to prove your point then go ahead.

  • Kanye's using a Asr 10 and his using a akai 2000xl o got both of them and the way music sound because of them and the right talent is way dope...

  • pure musical genius  at work !

  • out of all the equipment and buttons behind the camera man kanye decided to use a piano to make a song. so that means if he used the other stuff he would make the craziest beat with sickest flow like a legend. he is beast

  • can anyone name the producing equipment that kanye west is using?

  • i bet kanye is pissed that u were Recording...

  • @Mirshaun I didn't record this video

  • @Mirshaun haha your dumb as hell, i bet kanye knew this guy was recording and didnt care anyway.

  • assholes, kanye made the best musics i ever heard. i wash my ear with his songs, just listen to the new song (RUNAWAY) f.t pusha T,

  • i swear i heard a song with this popular beat on the radio a few weeks ago, what the fuck was it? it wasnt the actul song im sayin this beat

  • @upTioNNN It could have been Paris Jones' song Popular. A lot of people are saying that the beat he made in this video was for Paris Jones. It's very possible, because Paris knows a lot of Kanye's friends so it might just be that this beat was for Paris and not for Kanye. I guess we'll find out in November when the album comes out (if it doesn't get delayed)

  • olddd lyrics new beat

  • whats the beat allll the way at the end?

  • Whats the Name of the Song on the End plt tell me. I Think i heard it before

  • @youngsdrums its power. the beat at the end

  • motherfucker

    that beat hes playing at the end just found that sample 2 weeks before I seen this video

    he kept it to simple though i chopped the fuck out of it and barely resembles the original

    sorry peeps no sample names

  • @010les I already know the name of the sample, but for you and Kanye's sake I will not post it. :)

  • @010les Whats the name of the sample brah?

  • GENIUS I CANT WAIT TO HEAR HOW IS GONNA RIP EVERYONE IN HOLLYWOOD WITH THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE

  • ahh i can't wait for this album

  • This is gonna sound exactly like good life. I can't waittttttt

  • check my version i did three years ago!

  • check out my version i did three years ago!!!!!

  • Kanye West is the only artist that makes me buy his shit instead of burning it

    

  • what track is the "popular" sample from?
