@sylthedeal Kanye produced all of the songs on Be except for "God is Love" and "It's Your World (Part 1)." Kanye also produced Part 2 of "It's Your World" (the piano/conga drum coda that features Pops' spoken word piece). aaaaaalllll in the liner notes if you bought the album. Dilla is God, though.
I find it amazing that I hear a Blackberry commercial that featured Common's "Be", which I track the sample back to the source material that I enjoy, and it just happens to be a vintage song.
@wcclark Same thing 4 me except 3 weeks later. Amazing how the internet is today that you don't have 2 go 2 a record store and go through 4 crates to find samples like that. Im 16 and I wish we cud all rock 2 this stuff. I know age is only a number but this is something my number wont let me enjoy...atleast with the majority of the world
I love tracking back and seeing where samples came from. Credit to Kayne is production is something else. The tune from Jay-z's Encore by John Holt is still my favourite by Kanye, but there's so many.
Lmao,
at first I was like "Oh shit this is exactly the same as Be"
then it took a turn for the what the fuck

If it wasn't for Kanye's samples, I would have never found about these classics. Hooked on Soul/Jazz now. Props to Mr.West, sampling ain't easy!

Why is there so little of Albert Jones? This is one of the greatest samples of all time. I was so happy to hear it on a commercial recently
