  • The old Kanye

  • Thumbs up if you just listened to Good Morning!

  • I saw this on a Heskey video. Epic song for the greatest football player ever.

  • Charles Hamilton "Retarded Confession" sampled this.

  • @truthslap can't*

  • @truthslap You have to be able to look at the big picture here. By sampling, Kanye is both paying homage to and introducing older artists such as Steely Dan to his younger audiences. Personally, I don't see how that can be a bad thing for those artists or music in general. It's not like his listeners can appreciate the music of the older artists he samples as well as more modern hip hop and rap.

  • @MrJFreddo that's a good point, I just hate that people are making so much money off the art of yesterday, it feels wrong. the people who made that music should have their art respected, not sampled and rapped over and now associated with some contemporary rapper. I am glad Steely Dan is being introduced to younger audiences, but I'm pretty young too and I feel like if people study real MUSIC they will know about SD already.

  • this was the coolest album ever IMO!

  • if you dont like it guys dont watch it. unless you just came here to listen to a new song of course cant blame you guys

  • THE VOICE!

  • Kanye west Ladies and gentlemen!

  • How can someone take a filthy hot track like Kid Charlemagne, loop it, and ruin it with some low-brow, predictable spit? Rap all you want. Stay away from the classics.

  • @qualityhodges why to dumb it down

  • @lottdominique *way

  • @qualityhodges So yeah you came to a comments section of a song you hate for what reason? Oh right attention.

  • @qualityhodges thank you for speaking the truth. apparently these contemporary music children think sampling the classics is an "art", it's a contemptible forgery is what it is.

  • @qualityhodges stop acting like this replaced the the og one faggot. you can listen to that whenever you want. you probably forgot about the song until you heard this anyway. and no one is forcing you to listen to this. 3084 people like this shit so go play with your 92 faggot friends.

  • @itsGdublan I dont think anybody forgot about the original, and people hear this shit because when you play Steely Dan some droopy eyed miscreant usually pipes in and goes "hey I heard this sampled on that kanye west song", some of us just had to see the damage done for ourselves.

  • R.I.P Dj Henry DADKAH 4Eva #IAMDJHENRY!!!!!!! <3

  • after listening to this track, i start to rilize that Kanye west deserves a spot in top 100 artist off all time

  • @emmanuel94e this ISN'T art. what he sampled was art, Steely Dan are musicians who study MUSIC, they're artists. kanye west is not an artist by any measure.

  • @truthslap im tired of hearing this. art is expressing yourself through creativity. sampling is a art. its harder than making up a hook and it also is keeping future generations involved with the music of Steely Dan and others. if it wasnt for samplers such as Ye, this generation wouldnt have any youth knowing and appreciating older artists. So stop bashing samplers, they're doing bitter oldheads a favor

  • @ARebelCalledQuest sure they're doing them a small favor by exposing them to youth, but there is a standard of honor and respect in art that's not often crossed the way sampling crosses the line. it's the equivalent of new painters deciding to paste together collages of earlier paintings instead of making their own. my feeling is if somebody wants to work with samples, record them yourself or pay a studio musician, make something new and sample that.

  • @truthslap actually its the equivalent of a painter taking a painting and adding theyre own personal touch to it. if you dont like it just dont listen to it. at least respect kanye for paying homage to previous artists

  • @kefkapalazzo1 you could say vanilla ice was paying homage to david bowie and queen, but he got sued for it. you could say the beach boys were paying homage to chuck berry when they made surfin usa with the same music as sweet little 16, but they admitted their wrongdoing when they got sued for it too. plagiarism and unoriginality is not respected in art, but you're right, I'll just not not listen to it.

  • @truthslap its not plagarism. im pretty sure with dozens of samples without a single law suit means he got permission. and it is originality. i bet i can get you the best song ever and you couldnt do shit with it.

  • @kefkapalazzo1 he obviously clears his samples with the record labels, how does that make it any more original just because he paid for it? it's a sad reality that with more consumers than ever before, we have entertainers making unprecedented profits by recycling the music of yesterday instead of studying and making music themselves. about your challenge, anybody who can use fruity loops or any other frivolous loop software can "do shit" using samples.

  • @truthslap soooo its not plagiarism i see. and maybe they can do shit, but not at the level of kanye. its his style. i see nothing wrong with it as long as it sounds good. sampling has been with hip hop for a long time. i dont see you going on hit em up and saying "o 2pac is so unoriginal for sampling a song blah blah blah"

  • @kefkapalazzo1 I definitely prefer to hear the bassline in don't look any further over hit em up, besides if I were to take issue with it I'd have to take it up with pac's producers and the record label, unlike kanye who makes his own beats and his whole production style is gratuitous sampling.

  • @truthslap Sampling is an art form that not many can do and even less can do well... It is a Hip Hop thing, one of the reasons Kanye uses it is to stay true to his Hip Hop roots. No idea is original and at least we as HipHop artists are honest about our methods. Meanwhile people such as Elvis ripped off songwriters, producers and musicians and yet still get hailed as the "greatest," "King of Rock N Roll," etc.

  • @brokenvoicetones I absolutely agree with the last half of your argument, so much of late 50s-60s rock was directly lifted from previous artists, often without any credit given, Led Zeppelin continued that tradition into the 70s by ripping off nearly every important Chicago blues artist ever, also never giving due credit. I don't respect it, whether it's sampling today or unscrupulous rock bands that did it yesterday. besides alot of good hiphop is sample free.

  • yeezy+steely=dopeness

  • This seriously ruined Kid Charlemagne for me. Forgive me Steely! I'll forgive you Kanye.

  • i love this sooooooooooooong!!!!!!!!!! :)

  • The second verse does sound like something Big Sean would say...

  • 91 people aren't champions.

  • ehhh i hate to be this guy, but i cant listen to the steely dan song anymore, this ruined it forever for me :/

  • Big sean ghostwrote 2cd verse of this song back in da days

  • @ViLLyViLLz did he??? when u say second verse do you mean the part from 1:21 ???

  • @MrVIP1993 Theres even evidence, #Road2KoTF Episode 4: Graduation < type dat in the search bar and watch the vid, young big sean in there actually ghostwriting...

  • @ViLLyViLLz Well how do you know he wrote this song 0_o

  • @ViLLyViLLz Ahh yes i've been watching it now and I think its true because i saw Big Sean with a pen and pad while they were singing this song or practising vocals for it whatever they were doing but yeah it looks like he did. Or maybe he was writing his own thing but at that moment it seems unlikely

  • I've got an exam tomorrow...listening to this is making me feel that I can actually pass it :)

  • @orlandobloomslvr lol on youtube when you should be revising, reminds me of me during A-level exam :) Good Luck Mate

  • im lookin at 20yrs in prison for raping the replay button

  • @Deangilo1014

    93 ppl think this is sean paul

  • this is my favourite song on the album! rinsed it so much aha...makes me feel so special ;)

  • The sample tore me up tryin to figure who the Original was..Big Ups! to "Steely Dan"

  • Disgrace to Steely Dan.

  • @apimpwithnogators FAGGOT KEEP IT MOVIN HATER

  • :')

  • Lost in the World from his last album show's a different kanye, but his craft of the song is still the same kanye. He's honestly telling you where he is in life. We all get lost, but we all find ourselves again, same with Ye. -

  • WORK KANYE!!! ONLY REAL MUSIC LOVERS KNOW ABOUT STEELY DAN!!!!

  • I don't know how I got here, but... I wonder if Kanye West is a Steely Dan fan. Or maybe his dad might be. It would be interesting.

  • This is dedicated to his dad.

  • @wisconsinpbr shut up, that was a year ago!

  • Yes i did!

  • @profawgdl

    You mean you hate when artist steal music sort of like how Led Zeppelin stole a lot from great underground blues musicians and copied most of their great hits like "Stairway to Heaven", "When the Leeves Break", "Dazed and Confused", "How Many More Times", "Moby Dick", "Whole Lotta Love" PLUS EVEN MORE while simutanously being regarded as the best hard rock band in existence?

    Next time, try not to be a preachy asshole... :)

  • @fishsticksIV LMAO Killed em bro!

  • @fishsticksIV owned him ;)

  • @fishsticksIV I respect and understand you!

  • @fishsticksIV Completely agree! Led Zeppelin has to be the most overrated band of all time.

  • @fishsticksIV damn u went hard as hell on that kid lmao

  • @fishsticksIV LMAOOO owned bitch

  • Comment removed

  • @fishsticksIV well!!...you bodybagged that argument!!

  • @fishsticksIV Yeah but at least Led Zeppelin did it well. I love King Charlemagne but I don't like hearing "their eyes" being put on loop for 3 minutes straight. It's really annoying. He did the same thing in power. He took the chorus line from 21st Century Schizoid Man, and instead of ending it at the logical point, he goes on for just a second too long and here you a little bit of the verse. He then he jumps right back into his song. It's completely off beat and shitty. Ruins the flow.

  • @Tremblay343 Thank you! Finally somebody understands what i was trying to say.

  • @fishsticksIV While Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones did take a lot from old bluesmen, Stairway to Heaven, Whole Lotta Love were original songs by Led.. so you may want to check your facts there.

  • @espdemon The intro to stairway was completely ripped off one of their opening bands that was touring with them actually...so you may want to check your facts there. Look up taurus by the spirit.

  • hadnt heard this song in a while, and today at school this is all ive been singing

  • found this song due to the amazing goals of Emile Heskey!

  • I sing this song to my baby sister and she always smiles

  • EMILE HESKEY.

  • This whole album gives me goosebumps no lie.

    YOU DA BEST KANYE!!!

  • So we gonna pretend like MBDTF is wack .SMH.

  • old kanye gives me orgasms. new kanye gives me headaches

  • old kanye is the best kanye

  • I just packed up my shit and moved back to the crib.....

    pretty sure i'm not a champion

  • @WolverineAsh You have to change you way of thinking my friend, your capable of being the best you can be. What the mind can conceive and believe, it will acheive.

  • Check my freestyle out on you tube @ Billy Blanco freestyle. Thanks!

  • forgot how damn good this album was. blinded by this watch the throne nonsense.

  • god kanye west msic just puts me in a good mood
