genius for a reason

iono..i already knew this..somebody just materialized it and made it observable which is dope....love him because he KNOWS music. period...i know i know..everybody loves kanye..but its for a reason...been ridin since before college dropout..but what does that matter anyways...

anyways..heres a sick video showin how simply kanye makes bangers yet its so genius at the same time..



saw this on somebody else's blog...but here was a good comment that was left..

You know, I think a lot of people knew that Kayne sampled quite liberally for all of his albums and beats. Theres no suprise there. In fact, everyone who likes kanye (and knows anything about hip hop) has to know that what they really like is how he uses the samples. 'Ye isn't a strong lyracist, but he can produce. I think his brilliance lies in his choice of samples - Yes he's sampled some well known songs but what he really does is transform mainstream pop culture with his selection. For a while his albums were bringing people back to old soul (and look at the diplomats products too, and wu tang, off the top of my head) but with graduation he switched it to techno, and now techno is a huge thing. I DJ at a club full of rich white college kids who only listen to top 40 hits and they all now want 'club songs' i.e. techno mixes for the later half of the night. He's a trendsetter and his genius is in his samples, maybe not so much in his actual technical ability to change them.

peace peace.
