Jay-Z-What We Talkin About (Blueprint 3)

[AORCrazy]

[thatunit995]

I think No I.D. found this one, can't image Kanye dug this up

[dmoney031bk]

i dont know how Kanye finds these songs its crazy

[SupaDupaaFlyy]

This song is one of those songs you smoke in your room alone..and just fade away....

[dewrite504]

Ridin' Music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[Firstriver333]

This was the sample used in jay z's album Blueprint 3. I didn't like it. "What we talkin bout" was the best track on the album because it features Luke Steele.

[Magnetonium]

Kanye has no skill, he just changed couple elements from original - he still ripped it off. His remake lacks originality and skill, something that goes with most of new music. Instead of coming up with his own original idea, or some new melody, he instead went into a studio and used this track to make his new rap song. CHEAP! You see, back in the day music producers actually made original music FROM SCRATCH. People used to buy CDs and records, talk about music and research it. Not anymore!

[jordan10103]

@Magnetonium shush sampling has been around forever

[cp3onmtv963]

at th end of th day half of yall wouldn be here (including me) if kanye hadnt LEGALLY, key word here ppl, sampled it so jus enjoy th music folks

[enacra101]

lmao talk about lazy sampling on kanyes part.... literally a copy and paste, didnt even add his own drums or synths

[dcephus87]

@enacra101 yes he did when the beat broke down after jay verse it would hit the chorus like "he hum he hum hum" bow then the sample hit u in the face again.Sometimes when i sample i find myself leaving the sample almost the same the way i found it.

[treestructure]

you should play this on 45 in a technoset - then the people will go crazy!

[DuranFan09]

This is NOT a "copy and paste" job as described by "JayRocFly" below. Listen to "What We Talkin' About" properly. Kanye (and No I.D, who co-produced the song) added a deeper (and different) bassline, they layered the drums some more and also (most importantly) added a guitar riff which sits at the end of each loop and which also leads into the hook. Also, the hook itself isn't sampled from anywhere, it's all played from scratch. But yeah, this is a great song and I respect Kanye for sampling it.

[EsotericAlumnus]

@adam2497 AHEM taking anything is sampling, so even if he ONLY took the drums off this one which he clearly hasn't, it is still sampling, idiot

[TheSoloQuote]

KanYe West is the greatest

[JayRocFly]

as someone thats an audio engineer i respect them for finding this rare beat, but this is DEFINITELY a copy paste, no arguing

[rodneyj14]

@JayRocFly true.... but TIGHT!!!

[ItsYuboyz]

this shows how hip hop producers r just as talented as the artists if not more

[dmavs4131]

@ItsYuboyz haha and it was kanye,,hes both a producer and rapper

yeuhhh

[MR469]

BP3

[jagoxo]

thanks!

[adam2497]

lol kayne took the drums off this one...not really sampling ... cut copy and paste= hot beat

[quilthedon22]

@adam2497 he took the drums up a notch or three, made em lil harder. and just chopped it a LITTLE bit

[dmavs4131]

@adam2497 he has a million other beats ignorant asshole

[MrAlcatraz320]

Jay-Z - What We Talkin' About

[NikoRoyal]

@MrAlcatraz320 No shit

[hisholyhoviness]

this is why hip hop matters .we take old songs that wer not given their proper respect in their times and make it hot to a new generation.

I love this beat.

[MillzThaLyricGod]

nice joint for what we talkin about its one of my fav joint on bp3

[OPiiE562]

I'm sure Kanye goes and shops for hundreds of records and listens to them and picks out which ones have potential and then chops and mixes it.

[TehCuteDuke]

@OPiiE562 thats how de does it, said it in an interview

[midknight836]

aw yea! keeeps talkingg bout crack!!

[quilthedon22]

great sample potential. great job on this beat for what we talkin bout

[DeezNutzNurJaw]

i wouldent say kanye has good music history seeing as how this came out b4 he was born, he just hears potential in ceartain songs, because this wasnt even a popular song when it came out he probably just stubled upon it and even better was wat he did with it

[AJ3686]

its the art of diggin for beats..

[hisholyhoviness]

thank u kanye for introducing me to this hot beat.

[liljgliss]
