[The1hoodrich87]

the best track on the album love it

[TTMichael18]

These idiots stole this song from Chali 2na: /watch?v=zuFpsUerrMY

[StonkaUK]

@TTMichael18 Ah nice 1 i didnt know about this... Kanye is a thief!

[BucuProductions]

@StonkaUK Its just the same sample.. I think its Glady's Night.. I sampled it too.. You can check out "BUCU SUGA BEAT".. Whats a fun fact is that I found 50 cent using the beat I made a year after I made it !

[TheillMadeKnght]

@StonkaUK they just sampled the same song. the actual version of this sounds silimar (cuz its the same song sampled) but the mood is different. kanyes has a different style to it. the 2na beat is kinda fun and funky but this is straight baby makin music

[shogun1523]

cudi! >3:54 - 4:18

[KTgotPride]

it sounds like kanye sucked in some helium and the quality was too bad for me to get to jays verse...bye

[StonkaUK]

@KTgotPride Quality too bad?.. WTF are you talkin about?.. All i did was turn the pitch up on a CD rip you clown....

[celticsbutler9]

@StonkaUK take criticism don't be such a douche bag

[acquayeag5]

Lil Wayne didn't wanna watch the throne but he watched us win a grammy! -kanye west and jay-z

[geischeissen]

I have a slower version

[StonkaUK]

@geischeissen READ THE DESCRIPTION THE TEMPO HASNT BEEN CHANGED - PISS OFF!!

[geischeissen]

@StonkaUK here yes

man give a little respect ...

[derekbeta]

ctfu and listen to the damn song

[mr99productions]

Curtis Mayfield sent me here

[magicmc23]

ahh this song is zoo underrated. so well produced.

[lukejeter7]

jay z's >

[mrtray98]

"this beat deserves Hennessey a bad witch and a bag a weed the holy trinity" – kanye west

[suavechurro]

Jay fucked the song up with his unwritten verse.

[Jeramiah327]

ye sounds chipmunkish on this version for some reason

[Skuroccer9]

This has to be the most soulful song of all time, except maybe Family Business

[spideymayne]

I've probably played this song about 300 times and I'm still not sick of it.

[findermans]

quality sucks

[MDwallace2011]

Pete Rock got tht real hip hop feel!!!!!

[pallydf90]

uh!

[arjaekillz]

oh yes it has!!!!! dont lie to us, we know everything

[desmoinesproductions]

Its a extended delux track @unholyTYM

[UnholyTYM]

honestly i have the CD... what track is this? :O

[seanfabian100]

Hot Lyrics and Hot beats, but the sampled hook (Curtis Mayfield) timing don't match the production, causing it not to flow smoothly through its entirety.

[bullets718]

@seanfabian100 Its not supposed too its supposed to pop and sound raw this isnt a pop song lol doesnt need any digital cleaning....it helps create a different vibe

[seanfabian100]

@bullets718 OK, I feel ya ;-)

[shogun1523]

cudi 3:54

[usernameisbrian]

devin the dude should be on dis not kanye

[haybarrin]

best song of the album...

[TheJhong47]

"Pete Rock let the needle drop" damn i miss the Good ol Dayz!

[TheAndre396]

peeeeeeeeeet roccccccccccccck

[pootytang46670]

ERGHH!

[americanbadboi23]

is he takin a dump in the background????

[kali2cute]

I see why he's suing them, for one their using his track and didn't give any credit to him... for two, they didn't even think to pay him? I would be fuckin pissed too.. wth?

[MegaSchwag]

This song is goes deep.! keep my ipod on repeat and smoke some hookah = chill ass night.!

[Sarge11226]

REAL hiphop!

[HesterDW]

I think its ironic that theyre getting sued for sampling something no one wants in the song anyway. That "ughh" sound is fucking annoying and distracting from the lyrics. They shouldve just kept it out.

[eevvvii]

@HesterDW i agree..i think the track..this work of art is being "muddied" by the "ughhs", the "c'mons", the "sirens", the "owws", the "oohs", the "uhuhs", and the "yeahs"...and also i don't need to be repeatedly reminded of who's on the track by some very unnecessary wispering..fuckin' hell if only they'd decided to "drop it like it's hotized" this track...

[HesterDW]

@eevvvii Totally agree with everything you just said. I mean worst case scenario it could still be in the song, but it does not need to be that loud. I can hear it over the verse for goodness sake.

[JamalllF]

I never understood planned parenthood, cos i never met nobody planned to be a parent in the hood.......Dayum.

[CCooke3]

kanye shouldve listened to pete....piano wouldve suited the beat just as well but sometimes kanye can be stubborn, and look how the situation turned out, now hes getting sued

[PdubzCrew]

The beat sounds real geniune

It sounds like I was actually there...can't describe it.

Pete Rock sure is a legend. Kanye and Jay Z were tight.

[moula9]

This beat deserves Hennessey, a bad bitch

And a bag of weed; the Holy Trinity

In the mirror where I see my only enemy

Your life’s cursed, well mine’s an obscenity

[DeathStalkksu]

uGH

[egzoni039]

pls i want original song

[durtysouf1]

Real Hip Hop...Aye

Why did u speed up the lyrics. that aint right...but it still sounds good lol..

[IBrokeYourLegs]

@durtysouf1 'cause if you upload the original, the copyright would delete it.

[durtysouf1]

Real Hip Hop...Aye

[teafordessert]

[ashley42dl]

Search for the joy remix by Moe P  <--- this shit GOES

[dcampbell3130]

[Crimdaddy1]

[TheNotoriousEze]

@Crimdaddy1 lol really? do u hear with ur dick?

[LuvMeSomeHipHop]

@Crimdaddy1 stop bitchin yo

[StonkaUK]

[joesumo26]

@Crimdaddy1 LMFAO. great comment

[lordofunknown1]

i need to barrow some sugar

[ZITRONIXX]

@sevenmile007 you know what I meant tho. just because i was off a couple extra lettersdon't mean i don't know the fax son.

[migz2883]

overall this is a sick track. i miss hip hop

[ASH7JAI]

@StonkaUK You missed the whole jest of the comment... The name of the song was a recollection because I DIDN'T BUY the disc. It's not that major for me to bandwagon ride MC's

[xouribb]

@StonkaUK he/she just won get it, the bitch just want some thumbs in her ass .... what?? what did i say?

[ZITRONIXX]

THe dude suingJay and Kanye should have sued alot of rappers then. So may artists used the ughh sample. for example, Boogie Down Productions "Criminally Minded"

[sevenmile007]

@ZITRONIXX ...yo its criminal minded......get the facts right

[ZITRONIXX]

@MyJunior1975 there;s two versions of that song. gladys knight made one also. Pete Rock sampled sampled the 1 from Gladys Knight for Little Brother "Give It To Ya"

[bobbymobay]

I don't know if he can claim copy infringement because of one note "ugh!". And yes I did come from WSHH to find out what he was actually suing for.

[AKidNamedAlan]

Syl did the "ungh" sounds clearly heard "Different Strokes" by Syl Johnson sampled in this song. so Pay Syl Johnson

[spideymayne]

Kanye completely rips this apart.

[leilavegas]

Shame on a nuh who tried to run game on a nuh

[MyJunior1975]

Pete Rock used this Curtis Mayfield sample before- see his song "Give It To Ya" with Little Brother.

[enzarto]

syl johnson is sueing for this

[grizz22604]

to all you people think hes gettin sued for the vocals you are stupid. that is clearly curtis mayfield's the making of you. its the UGH thats syl is complaining about

[modemkilla]

FI_Ick u pay me said Sly, trust & believe if the shoe was on the otha foot they would b suing as well!! Bottom Line Pay The Man!!!

[slyishhh1]

Lol, @KylesFavoriteJams.....Jay-Z Killed it tho. Thumbs Up if agreed.

[KylesFavoriteJams]

you didn't avoid copyright by altering pitch lol, fail.

[MrBlackattack407]

their getting sued for sampling the part that jay z's like "pete rock let the needle drop" and than than the sound of the needle hitting the CD drop hits and Syl Johnson used dat in the being of his song Different Strokes. It's pretty stupid to me but hey moneys money

[plmzaqtt]

money money  money

[MrSwavor]

Fuck syl johnson

[jedwing]

@MrSwavor Pay the man. Kanye and Jay Z are acting like the old white guys who stole back in the day. Shame on them for acting like white thieving supremacists.

[chaissefourlife]

People who talk about the illuminati know nothing about the illuminati. btw this song is dope!!

[escoeabram]

kanye need to pay!

[stevebarnard44]

this shit is sick...go pete rock...old school heads.. wuts up?....

[amoney181]

Where Is Syl Johson In This Song This Sounds Nothing like Diffrent Stokes Come On Now

[DaCollectionz]

@amoney181 the ugh and the grunts and shit lmao

[MsDapitts]

@amoney181 The "ugh" sound is slowed down with the yell and that is the sample.

[TheDjrickyrikardo]

Kanye didn't make this beat though.. Pete Rock did.. act like you been somewhere...

[JusSleep1983]

I must have bad ears..i hear Mayfield, which im sure it got cleared...but who cares! shit is release and bangs in my camaro daily

[mackman25]

That man deserves the respect plus he has more songs like heaven or hell by Ray. This song is fire and thanks to Curtis to show you the difference between a sampler and a artist

[Hiller242]

SMH! That old man only wants money.

[st3vojr89]

syl johnson & worldstar brought me here

[KayHtube]

Yo Whats Good. I'll Make This As Short as Possible For You. Im KAY-H. Im a Singer,Rapper, And Producer. I Have a Hit Thats Buzzing But isnt Getting The Recognition It Needs. Im Extremely Passionate about What i do and Unlike other Young Teen artists i dont just TALK on records. i Promise you will Hear atleast one thing you can relate to.You Can Either Give me a chance or not. BUT IF YOU CAN ATLEAST TAKE TIME OUT TO LISTEN TO MY MUSIC IT WOULD BE A BLESSING. Thanks,

[onteriojohnson]

Like SYl said he's being used thru out the entire song.. everybody has paid him before in the past, so should ye and jay and pete rock... well really ye and jay and rocnation

[wurtz1987]

That song is fucking terrible. They SHOULD get sued, if they could, on ground of this sucking so bad.

[carriedawayhigh81]

its the grunts and girls laughing and is used all through out the song, but like someone else said Ye' and jay could of paid to get the sample cleared before the album dropped, but now at the same token now that the issue has been raised why wouldnt they jus have just taken care of it before it came the lawsuit situation, especially if like Syl says his daughter knows him and you cant tell me that if Ocho want to try and get ahold of Ye's team his management could've aquired that

[mryungtalentedDJQ8]

really getting sued just for the ugh ? , it's just a chant

[msstephensful]

im here to see what the big whooplah about!



[ASH7JAI]

LIKE IF YOU CAME FROM WORLD STAR HIP HOP TO SEE WHAT THE HELL HE WAS SUING FOR

[iraboj26]

@ASH7JAI  it linda sounds like dude shit

[ASH7JAI]

@iraboj26 I know. I was just saying if you saw the guy on WSHH... Like if you were here to check it out

[mazymade]

@ASH7JAI Da nigga just sued for money...besides that he don't give a shit or he just mad that this might be better than the original

[jiggaman000]

@mazymade this definitely isnt better than the original but its a dope track and best off watch the throne

[JBxBeats]

just saw the syl johnson interview on world star and he's getting these guys good for this song. He's basically taking all the money from the song and he's sueing them. If it all goes through, jay z and kanye will never perform this song.

[slpsuperstar]

kanye west probably got more lawsuits than a thanksgiving grocery list OOWWW!

[Papparazzi18]

yea, it's the laugh, UGHH part and the OWW part. that's what makes it extra ill too.

[jihDCchillin]

Claudine!!!!!

[vcca15]

that ugh sound is what they gettin sued for

[Mom0z]

@vcca15 not only that, but also style, sound and likeness

[MattTerryy]

Kanye & Jay z are getting sued for this song.

Because they used that "ugh!" noise from an old Syl Johnson song (different strokes) without permission/funding. Badtimes for diamond teeth.

[dimensionyoga]

garbage



[homeplus]

Kanye wants to hang around alleys and say "Naked White women dirty jokes"...he must have a white back door. rotfl

[tommycarstensen]

At what time point should I listen for the Syl Johnson sample? I can't hear it...

[whyte1luv]

@tommycarstensen I think its the "ugh" and the laughing part that they used from his song Different Strokes.

[JamalllF]

You cant help bopping your head to this tune, dayam, been on repeat for half an hour!

[Jonni500]

lol, fuck syl Johnson jealous?

[tweetie35]

why is it so hard to ask to use the old artist music damn,, Syl must get paid for his shit and even more because he did not the approval of his shit..

[MrSceneOne]

@tweetie35 Right tho yo want his bread too... Yo said I don't care who you think you are but you ain't gettin' richer off my black azz....lmbo straight up

[AndreRedd1Empire]

Kanye's 2nd verse my nigga went in

[A39W]

Gave her a hand shake only for her man's shake, she in that birfday suit cuz of the damn cake! (Ohh!)

[mikkab25]

thumbs up if that "uhhh" sound is pissing you off.

[theflyingdutchmanxD]

Who ever can edit the UNGHS out of this song is a genius that helped the world!!

[Rakabash]

"The Makings Of You" is one of the greatest love songs written by any songwriter. Check out Mayfield's original tune to see how great that sounded compared to this song.

[aznammunition]

UNGH!!!

[thesmalltowndreamer]

I heard this a year and a half ago. o_O 

[Arrolle23]

OTIS-Only The Illuminati Survive..

[Hspringsskater12]

is this like a secret track or something?

[doughboy60632]

MAN this song is classic...sucks because syl johnson is sueing kanye for sampling without permision. thums up if you think its still a classic

[nebdirty]

Folks love to hate on this album but that's because they don't bring any education to the table. Smarten up so you can get more out of good food, not that fast food garbage you're used to listening to.

[docbaddoc]

Kanye,Jay,Pete Rock,Curtis Mayfield....ALL LEGENDS were you expecting anything other than dope.

[mhkjggg]

@docbaddoc

yes this song is a classic

[Loscobeats]

Big beat

[ReservoirDogs96]

'Hennessy,a bad bitch, an a bag weed the Holy Trinity ' Kanye

[SuperBrezzy26]

[briank1ne]

kanye always has to fuck up a good track. dude.. noone wants to hear about you cumming on a girls face...for real...u fucking idiot...pete rock should have sent hyou back to the drawing board on this one.

[syko79]
