@MrpotatoChips i'm not sure if you know, but i'm pretty sure the version in saints row is kanye west's 'power' which samples this (and is an awesome song). if you did know that, that's how i got here too :)
idk why everyone's criticizing kanye for sampling other songs. i personally think it's a good thing. it means kanye doens't just listen to hip-hop, he listens to other varieties of music, something we should all do, including myself.
I'm not here because of kanye actually, i'm here because i heard this song in a japanese talk show called utaban... been looking for this song for 10 years, but i couldnt make out the lyrics when it was in the show
The real story is Kanye West had the real lead singer of this song named Alvin Fields come into the studio and redo the chants on "Power" because Def Jam couldn't get the sample rights for "Afromerica" for the final version of this song for commercial distribution. He also uses Alvin Fields on "Lost In The World" and "All Of The Lights". Alvin Fields is an amazing vocalist. He has other videos on Youtube as well. It seems that this guy has sung with Everybody!!!!
I'm just glad most recognize that Kanye DID NOT make this track, but merely rapped over it. Big shouts go to the homie 'S1 and Caleb' for their incredible work on this track!! They are truly the inspiration for what you guys hear on the radio now called 'Power'.
@rwalker98 I should even say that Symbolyc One "made" the track since it is sample based. Not trying to take anything away from the man, but after all, he didn't "make" it, technically speaking. He assembled the samples together. Regardless, it's an amazing track that I play almost every day. :)
