Kanye West-I Wonder/Labi Siffre-My Song

[LuisC1495]

its called sampling so al you ignorant people saying its stealing or against the copyright crap , it's not illegal or stealing . its called SAMPLING .

[kwkable11]

Well, I wonder why the hell that there are 5 people who don't like this original and sample combo!

[TheFckyall]

I LOVE YOU KANYE

[MrDJSabreTooth]

[bestfriends4lifejm]

Da End Beat Go Hard Got Damnit

[IAmtheGodOfWar2]

Sampling is just a way of respect...notice how crappy songs from the past don't get remade or sampled. Kanye sampling this song shows how much Kanye respects older music. And Labi Siffre may not be getting royalty checks but I bet he got one fat check from the production

[nitrammmah]

Oh deary me- I am so glad I was born in the late 50's, so I could grow up with real musical talent like Labi, Judie Tzuke, Linda Lewis, Genesis, Joni Mitchell and all the others. I work with teenagers and I never fail to despair over their fondness for absolute trash like Kanye West, Akon, and 'R and B'. rubbish, which isn't rhythm and blues at all. It's just rubbish and bloody awful. I have seen Labi Siffre 3 times over the past 30 years and he is a genuinely decent bloke and great songwriter.

[DanCiTi]

@nitrammmah putting Kanye in the same breath as those others(Akon) just shows your ignorance. Ugh.

[XxValerie1xX]

@furtherillusions hes not getting royalties because he did not own his music therefore the record label is geyting the royalties. And Kanye and most people credit the music they sample but most of those artist did not own their music. So its NOT stealing. If you wanna talk about stealing look up what Elvis and those 'classic' rock artists did

[cantona755]

another kanye classic revamp of a great song

[kala989]

That was a LONG sample...

[Blarksel]

started so good, until the... earkilling part came.. ^^

[JKFrazier]

I still wonder how Kanye finds samples like this...awesome.

[TShi0]

Love <3

[shattachas]

good sample

[TheReWine]

its sampeling and kanye is one of the best in it

[babywipes1980]

awesome

[XxValerie1xX]

it's called sampling some older people amaze me.. us younger people idolize you and when we do and sample you guys music u get pissy and say we serve no purpose;; we're the future but you guys stay putting us down! WTF? some adults r ignorant!

[noodlesoup1998]

@XxValerie1xX YOU, for the win. hahahahah.

[FurtherIllusions]

@XxValerie1xX I'm part of the "younger people" and I believe it's called stealing when no credit is given to the original author. You search for the lyrics of this song and Kanye West is all you find. He even re-named it and made it sound worse. Now, I'm into sampling, but there have been plenty other remixes with this that beat Kanye's. Labi Saffri isn't getting royalty checks for this, but Kanye sure is.

[D201RECORDS]

@FurtherIllusions Well duh, I'm a part of the younger cats too. but even I understand that the people who are stealing from the original artist, are the record companies that OWN the rights to the songs. So for us who sample, wer'e just jackin from jackers. And if you really notice, This songs main verses use a synth sound. I don't remember synth in the origional.

[Nogert]

@XxValerie1xX I'm 21, and I think sampling is abused now days, just look at wil.i.am and black eyed peas new singles, it's just abusing old well written catchy songs and then using that hook in their songs so that people buy it.

[harrymanilow]

@Nogert but if I never heard the sample I might not have heard the original song...and the artist they sample from get royalties and song writing credits.

[girus19]

Kanye did not take his song. he doesnt have the talent to do it.

[Qualitey]

it's ironic, how ''nobody can take my song'' but kanye just takes it...

Yo, imma let you finish your song, but imma gonna take later!

[thejock55]

Kanye never took it he spread the word and mixed it up a bit. Notice how he barely raps on it...

[Qualitey]

Still "This is my song and no one can take it away''

kayne did

[xxplosiv88]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[boricuamobsta]

hahha tru..i like both songs tho

[TeeWorkit]

@Qualitey lol

[tamez95]

send me da link plzzzz

[cokeluvr]

ok 2:51 what the hell is that why is every putting up theat shit

WHAT DOES IT MEAN!!! NWO

[mizztrinidad09]

its the rocafella sign

[Mohsan619]

roc a fella

its a jay z thing

[Janac]

@cokeluvr its the illuminati sign, youtube it

[BelizeHunni]

and i love how he kept it so tru to the song

and not try and make it out how he put it there like sum of them do.

you did this nice by the way :)

[BelizeHunni]

kayne got AMAZING taste

cus some of the songs he samples

are really really nice

like dis one

[YungZaaf]

sampling is harder then you think... I give props to any person who samples

[SmokedTwinkie]

I think kanye west did a great job sampling this song.. he did it justice.

and for all of you out there who claim that he is not a musical genius and he simply samples his ass off... go listen to every track he has ever made, not only did he put a unique twist on every track he sampled but also followed through with outstanding lyric use...

so dont hate, appreciate

[thejock55]

Finally, homecoming is a great song and its not sampled. He samples his favorite songs and combines them with hip hop style.

[kevinriche]

the realest thing i've ever heard

[mallymoomar]

He is not a musical genius this song belongs to Labi Siffre

[WillMega06]

Kanye does have a personality defect, but my man is a musical genus!!!

[SylarFiction]

Kanye West is the best

[deshun1987]

A Nice homage of My Song Labi Saffari,,,when I heard tKayne West I wonder I was like! OH SHIT!!

[kromeallday]

kanye west is my idol

[Jasperkuhhh]

I think you have one...

[FahrenheitPRDUK]

This is prob my fav song off graduation ! and for all the negative comments kanye doesnt JUST sample he's one of those artists who makes really intricate beats he went through somethin like 40

+ mixes of stronger till he got it right, and in many respects taking something you havn't composed and making it fit to a song your creating /producing is harder than composing a whole song straight up. respect to Ye , his lyrics are always tight and witty too

[yoitskristycakes]

Sorry to break it to you hun, but most artists especially rappers get samples from other artists or at least take some of their lyrics. Apparently, you know very little about the music industry.

[TheGreenerItGets]

Hahaha oh so true.

[luxurylowridin64]

I love this song so much..i culd listen 2 it 24/7 and not get tired of it ...kanye west is an absolute genius

[greggreggreg75]

all u fags that dont like him must have a reall

BAD taste in music. u r a fag if u dont like kanye west!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jordanwentzzz]

Kanye West is basically a fraud. He always fucking uses other artists music. Its bullshit. Like how he used that daft punk song... harder better faster stronger. you know what im talking about. most of the idiots who listen to kanye think hes some kind of a genius because they truly believe he came up with all of this music. He has slow flows. He cant sing. all of his beats are generic. fuck Kanye West. I hope he reads this and decides to get the fuck out of the industry. hes stolen enough

[nouchdaniro]

fyi daft punk produced stronger along with kanye

.......kanye didn't just sample them (like everybody else)

[AMaz3In]

jordan stfu, hes good when he wants to be, nouchdaniro is right daft punk remixed it for him

[rayjay15]

ACTUALLY, I heard that TIMBALAND was the one who remixed it for him. He's even got a video on youtube with him and Timbo working on it.

[nouchdaniro]

Yea I saw the video.......... The song was done. Timbo just change the drums for him. Kanye didn't think they were loud enough

[rayjay15]

Well, for your information, sir, I looked in the booklet, and it credits him as the drum programmer for the song. =)

[RickNyce]

lol. see

[ScoobieDewm]

99% of all lip jockies aren't their own producers.

This is how shit works. lol

[iiTzYoBoyKiiCKs]

jordan is a hater.

[Anto8787]

lmao. Jordan Kanye West is a genius. He's considered a sampling great because his strength is sampling. You have to have great ear training to be able to sample something and to make it sound so good like he does. So stop hating.

[TheGreenerItGets]

Word.

[Miles2theSun]

dont complain if an ebony queen wants to jump on some spanish dick aight papi?

[klassykia08]

All kanye did is add his flavor to a already beautiful song. Much kudos to mr kanye and mr siffre. C:

[gumby9960]

racial barriers stop all original singers from getting their dues, so dont complain if your anglo-saxon daughter wants to date  different races..lol

[EmmyLuxeMakeUpInc]

I wouldn't call it stealing...its more of a tribute when you sample something as well as kanye does. you can't blame him for people making him millions of dollars by buying his cds.

[Sonjay718]

If he paid them, it's not stealing.  He's in the credits.

[GabbyOspina]

this original is better then kayne's one

[Magic2500]

Of course.

[soccerboy9195]

This sucks compared to kanyes one

[MrsLautner4lyf]

Thank you. I'ts the same as Kanye's except Kanye added a beat to it. I't not like he took anything away from the song. Plus his is way better.

[akkingkahn]

nice mix

nice pics

[mikeaknight09]

this song is to hott! I never would of guess it..

Kanye west is the man..

[kuzweliveordie7]

i have to admit it, kanye is a great singer/songwriter/lyricist/wha­tever you call it, but i seriously hate it personality/attitude.

[fireproofmatch69]

sooo nice

[dudewth95]

sik

[gusthavorj]

very cool

[fireproofmatch69]

Wow who the hell calls kanye a women?

[Mendeboy1]

No matter what ur opinion is on sampling

u cant argue with the results its produced some great songs from greats songs whats so bad about that?

[cisco1225]

I just came across a song by Labi Siffre called "Down." That song is ill. Looking for that song led me to this video. Didn't even know it was him that kanye sampled.

[ike54]

fuckin haters...gotta love em!

[Winkz3000]

I laugh real hard at people who talk so much shit about the Ye makes his beats and have NEVER been in a studio in they fuckin' life!. I'm not sayin he didn't have and edge by the sample but to find the correct drums to go with the beat and them program them bitches amongst hundreds of other things you wouldn't even begin to kno about because u've never set foot in one and sit back in ur chair and bump ur gums is amazing. LMAO corny ass faggots.

[Escobar9300]

Lmao easy big homie, you seem to be sippin that Kanye brand kool aid a bit hard man. I didnt mean to be so heartless lmao. For real though, nobody is really trippin that hard on kanye about the sample, Ill admit dude made a hard ass beat with this sample. Dosent mean people cant have an opinion on the matter though. Stay in your lane my man, no need for all the theatrics.

[FahrenheitPRDUK]

all true

[rissax0]

both songs are amazing...kanye is a musical genius i love her for that!

[Tex20060]

Lmaoooo escobar9300

[Escobar9300]

"This is my song......and no one....cant take it away......except kanyeeeee"

[remlesavir]

HAHAHAHAHA!

[Jdublive20]

cool song

[1flyleaf]

i wonder how kanye felt after he took dis song lol

[TheLchemist]

but kanye did, lol!!!

[weditosfury]

it WAS his song....till' kayne stole it!!!

I wonder if you know,

Do you know what it means???

To actually have talent, and make real music!!!

[sincerevidblog]

yeah, because you were really bumpin this song before Kanye sampled it and made it apply to a new generation...

ass.

[weditosfury]

yes, i was bumpin this before kayne...do people really have to steal and loop 5 seconds of a song to show the world good music...it seems everybody got lazy in this world and jock people who are even lazier...this music will die when people run out of samples to steal, then what????

[crysta2k2]

He probably felt like, "Wow, another award winning album, YESSSS!" LOL. I like the Kanye remix, I think it's fly.... I can appreciate artists sampling and remixing classic music. At least Kanye gives props to the songs that he samples unlike Elvis who just took several songs and dance moves from Chuck Berry...

BTW, Lauryn Hill's Forgive Them Father is a sample of Bob Marley's Concrete Jungle. There is no uproar about that... LOL

[EmmyLuxeMakeUpInc]

lol you righttttt. this nigga didn;t know this before kanye. then he googled the lyricsss.

[bkBLUEJAY]

dat nigga kanye always remixes songs..he cant even make his own, that fag always enhance his voice in songs

[EmmyLuxeMakeUpInc]

hmm, you sure? because I can list, off the top of my head, about 20 songs he has done for different artists, that had NO sample. they were original.

and anyways, you hater, sampling is harder to do than a regular beat.

[crysiss]

Not all the time. Lots of people are really lazy, and dont work that hard.

1. Find good song.

2. Loop it.

3. add drum beat.

4. ????

5. Profit!

[whyamisleepy]

i lol'd

[carfo]

you're an idiot. go back to picking up my garbage on tuesdays

[crysiss]

I didnt say thats what everyone does you fucking idiot. I just hate these "Producers" that do, do that. I said "not all the time" you man douching creep. Dont get me wrong, I love it when they do it right.. but some people get so fucking lazy when making a beat.

[mrsly06]

Ive only started to produce music.But getting a sample from a song, and creating a beat with it,seems fun.I jus need to find old skool music that i can sample from, but its hard too find, cos i was born in the 90's so i don't know any old school music before the 90's. Need advice !

[EmmyLuxeMakeUpInc]

you should sample the kenny loggins song, "I'm Free."

The chorus is SICK.

[HARDCORESTR8EDGE]

and i wonder

if u know what it means

what it mean

....to sample sample music ppl.

[daverich313]

LMAO...

[blazey20]

lmfao

[S4N3x]

i fucking love sampling. it makes producing so much funner and just fuckinnn .. fuckin.. idk.. its a real fun thing about hip hop.. findin out where people got their shit from

[avenue357]

i know what you mean

[keon2o2]

i love this song but a little slow

[keyseeker15]

Why does everyone acts as though sampling is so bad? All the greats in hip-hop samples it's been used since the beginning of hip hop.

[BeNicePlz]

I agree. It also annoys me when people use the term "steal" when the artist has the permission to use it.

[zikmu2008]

thank you sealzz!

[sealzz]

No probs

[henateme]

fav song on the cd def!

[sealzz]

"this is my song and no one can take it away"

well kanye took it cut it mashed it raped the hell out of it would of been alot better if he just did smoothe verse over the original the hectic drums and synthesiszers he added totally destroyed the song.

sorry for spelling

[stoob1969]

Yep, pretty much junk but K West does some great stuff just not this one, lazy

[Youngsmoke09]

luv both versions..shit i luv music period..kayne did his thang on that track..

[ike54]

fuck all you haters...kanye is the shit

[ballerleo]

real talk

[brettsopher17]

word

[FiascosFreshness]

You do know without this song, there would be no "I Wonder". So actually Labi is the man!

[boo66]

Talentless cunt West!

Any teenager with a computer could have done that!

[izDEADone]

so...

[youngsonmusic]

LOL...calm down. He did rap over it you know. And hip hop has used looping and what not for years. Both are awesome songs. I wouldn't have even new about Labi if it wasn't for Kanye.

[NYswordsman]

hahahaa youvenever been behind a soundboard have you. do you know how hard it is to pitch shift, or to even needle drop?

no. even though im losing respect for kanye as a person, i am meszmerized by his talent.

[ofirharlev]

u made me laugh dude...

[iamkennyn]

this song's so tight xD

[Mystification58]

I have nothing against the remix, just the fact that Kanye's lyrics seem to detract from the feel of the song. Especially when the original artist can be heard in the background actually flowing with the music...

Then there's Kanye....

"I" "Have" "Your" "Beat",

"Oh" "What" "Good" "Luck",

"I'll" "Try" "Hard" "To",

"Not" "Make" "It" "Suck"....

[blazey20]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO ROFLMFAO

[kanya5]

tru dat!

[jetb44]

Yea he made this song super awesome

even though this song is already ok

[disgustika]

OK? You asshole, its a classic.

[jetb44]

im not an asshole

i liked the original too.

[reader24]

kanye is so talented!! the way he mixed this song is just amazing!!!

[jaharri25]

kanye dont rule hiphop he smaples songs with help from other people

[phenomenonnarutokun]

thats what makes his song so fuckin good!

[SPLINTERCHIEF]

IN YO FACEEEE!

[KAMMslim]

sample songs..thats not biting

[ACMILANFANDK]

KW RULES THE HIP HOP!

[FLYyCITY]

"this is my song and no one can it away".....hahaha i loVe kanye

irony indeed

[blexicanpapi]

does anyone else see the irony here???

[LiquidPoop]

Yup, looks like it aint Labi siffre's song

anymore, haha.

But no both songs are classic.

[sallyeatspie]

HAHA ♥ this song!!!

[abelisking]

so this where i wonder comes from badass who the person who mixed the two of these songs together cool

[haydenjarquin]

kany did it you tard

[jaharri25]

[mMsOldBoy]

[Rikkerry25]
