Kanye West - Champion - Music Video

[gibsonlp1102]

anybody that bashes steely dan is just another one of those know-it-all "music" idiots...steely dan held some of the best studio musicians that have ever lived...and guitarists and drummers that play on the popular music of today very likely idolized the musicians in steely dan.

[Palmar3s]

Hey say what you gotta say, ( Im a Steely Dan Donald Fagen fan since forever) but a friend of mine discovered Steely Dan from Kanye West and then got hooked on SD. I really respect Kanye, why? because is he keeping the old real music alive and trough his music and people now know who is Steely Dan, its a win win situation, bunch of haters, they don't see the big picture, so Thank you Kanye, do your thing.

[bebes49]

It's a shame you can't post an opinion about a video.. because when there is someone that doesn't agree they start bashing you, calling you names, and using foul language. Goes to show what kind of people listen to this music.haha...too funny...Oh, I did listen...then I was ill..haha....

[bebes49]

For the love of God, plz remove the crap (kanye west) from Steely Dan's music...he might think he "looked like Jesus in their eyes" when he he says "yes i did" but he only makes a fool of himself...he can't make decent music on his own, so he has to 'hack' into someone else's. KANYE WEST will NEVER EVER be the musician or singer that they were...(eagan)...they didn't need a half dressed ho in any video, their music said it all....I think I'm ill after that!!!!!

[bebes49]

Heaven help us! This moron can't be original,.,most can't..they have to take GREAT music and ruin it by inserting it behind their rap..He is not awesome...Steely Dan is awesome...it's ok though...he will NEVER be as talented as they were...and if you call this talent you are sadly mistaken...transition was awesome you say? He's a genius? Wrong on both counts. What an insult to Steely Dan..somebody needs to stuff a sock in this moron's mouth! SD is were the true talent lies!!

[MDzFynest]

@bebes49 it's called sampling. Know before you speak or you just look like a fool. You think Steely Dan would have granted him permission to to use his song if Kanye was as untalented as you say he is? You obviously have never really taken the time to listen, not hear, but listen to Kanye's work. I recommend The College Dropout and Late Registration albums. Ignorance is such a bliss smh

[MDzFynest]

@bebes49 Btw, if you're a corporate ass kissing tea party conservative living a petite bourgeois lifestyle, don't listen to them, for the fact that it will dismantle your unjust philosophies. Just saying, idk who you are or where you're from

[jkprojects]

haha the transition was awesome good job.

[GTARotator]

this is pure win. sir, you are a genius.

[yougotthecajones]

both of these songs are off the hook

[williamthewrestler]

i like the smooth transistion between songs

[rlgrantjr]

This song blows. Actually calling it a song is too generous. It's really just a bad mix of styles, some one in KW's camp needs to clue him on what works and what don't.

[loopwholetube]

extremely gay use of a good sample..fuck kanye west/

[hurricane973]

@loopwholetube FUCK U THIS WAS A GOOD SAMPLE ONE OF HIS BEST

[bebes49]

@hurricane973 "i see your true color shining thru" (by cindi lauper..haha) you just have to use that language when you don't agree. I know you are not speaking of Steely Dan, only someone that likes Kanye West would use that filthy talk!

[BlakMastachief]

@loopwholetube  dumbasss

[liteboy15]

nice

[gyrosplater]

steely dan FTW!

[dymndgiirl]

[killroy1100]

Hell YA

[jackeescav26]

hiyeee kaiya chunu mut fuka

[aprillove2000]

I wish you would do more the live samples with the mixes. I love this kind of stuff because I appreciate old music and how hip hop is education younger generations.

[killroy1100]

YA He uses this song so well. It sounds cool and I don't nomally like Rap

But I love Steely Dan!

[SouthBxkrills]

[o0Ezri0o]

Duh, ppl. Listen to Steely Dan and you´ll get songs you want to listen to over and over again. This is just a remix, and not a very good one... This is just Kanye, and kanye don´t got history. Who is that guy anyway?!

"Yo, she tellin' news on how you switch to a bitch//Little fake funny style, nigga chill with a snitch//So now I pass and trait over your blood and to ask you//Make a little room for me and all my niggas to pass through"

[hardinpants]

[bkboy1016]

That's Donald Fagen, 1 half of the classic Rock/Jazz group, Steely Dan!!...Search for them, here on the tube, & you'll see the fantastic music they put out, over the years!!!

[MrStefN]

this ain't the officiel right? and if it it...then it pretty sucks...great song btw

[Jiltedin2007]

Please, someone give me the complte Lyric of this song. I went to Google, and I can not find it, anywhere. Kanye West Rules!

[trana500]

[Jiltedin2007]

Yes, please give it to me. I loove this song!

[guilliedamen]

[daftpunker01]

whats is the name of the sample in this song

[na6807]

Kid Charlemagne by steely dan

[sms56sms]

kanye rocks

[jherb69]

I wonder how much he paid for the sample!?

[californiaboy1794]

this song is great!!!!!11

[phenomenonnarutokun]

Oh my god u did the cut thing pretty good. Thumbs up!!

[PinkFloyd47]

This sounds great with the Kid Charlemagne extended intro, and the censor of the word "shit" made me chuckle because, like all of the bootleg clean versions of the songs from Graduation, it's competely reversed. That's that EEEESSSSHH

[RickGabeSound]

Dude im goin to recut and paste to gether a version a champion now thanks to u!

[aaronusabadboi]

thanx dood

[aaronusabadboi]

it waz scary at da beginning.i thought i waz watchin da wrong vid. MAN I LUV IT WHEN KANYE WEARS THOSE GLASSES! y didnt u play the whole song though? p.s does n e 1 kno who that guy at da beginning iz

[akaflipmode]

his name is PUUUUMM PUUUUM..i lied!!! thats steely dan.. 70's 80's singer he made dope tracks... the original song is called

kid chalemagne

[cag05e]

steely dan is a band not a person

[steelpulse1000]

so wickedly right

[flytre]

their eyes

[kingbeasley773]

kanye west is the future

[Mattdem]

I like the tune, I tried my own remix

Good Video!

[aarrox626]

man i love kanye west ..he's awesome!

[derryckanthony]

Jdog are you comparing kanye's "champion" to steely's kid charlemagne

[wwefan008]

but sure u used both steely dan and kanye west which i think is a brill combination!

[jdog634]

my opinion is kanye's is better for 2 reasons i think its betta and steely dan mentions jesus in his version i think

[212KING]

all that time that was a white guy i thought it was a *jamacian* singin

no im not STEROTYPE

[mustafahajj]

212king, Im with you brother. I thought the same thing! Steely dan has many sounds. One cannot put them in a musical box. Steely does it all. RB, Soul, Funk...you name it...Steely can play it! But again, like you, I thought this track was sampled from a jamacian group!!!

[ampj2]

this is aiight. i cant hate on it.

[kingbdp]

hold up whate a minute so that steely guy is the eminem of funk and jazz

[kingbdp]

wow

[mustafahajj]

That's an insult. Steely is no eminem, And eminem is no steely! Steely has over three decades of great music under their belts. And steely dan is a group. Yes a group!

[USCHoodman]

steely dan is amazing!

[CiaraBeyonceAaliyah]

great job doing this video

[mustafahajj]

Damn I didn't know kanye sampled that from STEELY DAN. Those white dudes know music. I mean they really know music. If kanye know about steely dan. He's the new It". I LOVE IT!!!!

[Rappin4God]

All real musicians know each other. This is how we grow.

[mustafahajj]

That is the way it should be. However,you know how hiphop can be...If its not a bass track it's not hiphop. Kanye went with a Steely Dan sample. For Steely Dan to be a white act, Their music contains alot of funk and jazz. Steely is far beyond the Rolling Stones, Steely are better "musicans" if you ask me!

[kingbdp]

well nobody asked you now did they and every body knows that if no one asked you shet the fuck up

[mustafahajj]

Come on kid. Go and find someone else to play with! Im talkin' real music here, Not bullshit! Now you shut your candy eatin' mouth.

[Rappin4God]

Of course, Steely Dan were jazz cats disguised as pop musicians. Again, most true musicians know this. And Kanye, in his own way, is a true musician, because he is a connoisseur of fine music.

Kanye elevates hip hop. It is such a dumbed-down art. West seeks to raise the bar.

It's going to elevate even beyond what Kanye is doing in the coming years.

[mustafahajj]

Tru that! No words chief, You are the man. I agree.

[uwmbigb]

this is pretty tight for some reason

[DJDsavvy]

sample

[DJDsavvy]

i learned something u can pull a smaple from anything.

[uwmbigb]

lol ya pretty much

[James200045]

nice job man

[wwefan008]

very good but is tat the real video..? if it is its real short !

[berzerkerhead]

this is hot. nice job mang

[Revolutionoffunk]

Great timing in your video. Mad props...

[alligot]

wtf this shit is stupid

[kidkitna]

that was pretty awesome transition

[spacemutant]

GREAT!! :D

[Jeezers13]

kanye ruined this song, steely dan are legends, kanye is a crappy artist that used their stuff to make his crap sound better.

same kinda thing he did with daft punk. gay

[flipinoman23]

its called sampling songs!!!!! duhhh!!!!!!!

[Sauce303]

Thabk u, u must like real hip hop too. there's too many ignorant haters that dont understand Kanye West

[Sauce303]

ur a fag, why must u hate, go play with yourself or somethin'. fuckin make me sick u hatin ass bitch!

[derryckanthony]

I like what kanye did with the song, for rappers who sampled Steely Dan: De La Soul sampling "PEG", Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz sampling "Black Cow" those were typical break samples, Kanye's in this case was more obscure and the song itself has heart...Steely Rulezzz

[bballqt3000]

so true!

[chitown07luv]

bitch stop hatin cuz if tought it was crap y u listenin to it mutha fucka go suck a dick nd stop hattin on kanye

[rosamargie]

i got the album it is asome not just this song all of it

[aprillove2000]

This is an outstanding mix!

[Sauce303]

that shit is talent, had to take a while, respect. I Like That, I Like That.

[bballqt3000]

no this shit is taking someone elses talent and using it to make money

[maestrochild]

yo dat wuz a brilliant transition in da music from da old 2 da new & it matched wut happened in the video. u should b a director lol

[Benjani7]

hahaha fagen's repeatedly jerking and singing 'their eyes'

[tadaha89]

yo you gotta do kanye's I WONDER

[barrymcginn1]

[sneekmid]

at first i thought that it was was damian marly song he sampled

[primah06]

this some hot shiit

[markinno]

"Did you realize...champion..." Is that line from a song somwhere else? Or is the sample just from Stan...?

[capouel123]

its a sample from a steely dan song

[Alienxfb14]

The song is called "Kid Charlemagne" and it's a fantastic song with one of the greatest guitar solos ever written.

[jaames719]

Very very very cool.

[backjay123]

love da video

[mrkjr]

More please!

[jaiman101]

fogivekobe, i think it 'when i SHOP so much i can speak italian' makes a bit more sense, but still a great song

[1044baker]

this is da reason y graduation is rapped up underneath my xmas tree rite now !!!

i mean wot can i say, he is da champion, he puts thought in 2 every word ov every bar !!

gawshhh i lve it xxxxxxxxx !!!!!!! lol

[forgivekobe]

"u dont c jus how wild the crowd u dont c jus how fly ma style i dont c why i need a stylist when i shock so much i cud speak italian" Now that right there is why i think Mr West is in top right now n probly for a long while. I mean not only do thugs like em but he's doin it all fresh and grown up in the grammys n erything i mean damn ma moms likes him 2 there no stoppin mr west

[pbarangu]

[kanyena]

[kaccess1]

simply dope mashup of original vs sampled - wished it was longer

[ejazzed1059]

off the chain.....

[cambaum03]

very nice. glad to see someone recognize the talent of the artists sampled, along with the talent of kanye. puts a smile on my face.

[derryckanthony]

Hey cambaum thanks for the comment, for that was my point to pay homage to Steely Dan for influencing the music of today and to recognize Kanye for being a rapper with substance

[chakafan2]

LOVE IT!

[cgrodriguez79]

Very very nice! Steely Dan vs. Kanye West. . .when are you postining the extended version?

[Crepestyle]

who is the singer?

[derryckanthony]

The singer name is Donald Fagen the front man of the seventies group called Steely Dan in which Kanye sampled the song "Kid Charlemagne"

a real nice, clever and obscure sample from Mr. West, Steely Dan is still going strong by the way

[jalabi99]

Wow, I had no idea that "Champion" sampled "Kid Charlemagne". I always say that if you're going to sample, you might as well sample the best, and that's exactly what 'Ye did this time. Execllent!

[kento350]

I love the video. do more mixes with kanye west

[bxavila]
