Kanye West Doesn't Care About Black People

Wedontgetfooledagain · 11-06-2005, 09:19 AM

What's the song he samples for the backing vocals on 'Golddigga'? I think it's a blues song by either Leadbelly or John Lee Hooker. Anyone know?

Tomahawk · 11-06-2005, 10:16 AM

It's from "I Got a Woman" by Ray Charles. As sung by Jamie Foxx, who played him in that movie Ray.

That's a good song.

Zappa · 11-06-2005, 12:15 PM

Am I the only one who is very much bothered by the bad intonation between that backing vocal and the rest of the beat?

Thanks

It kind of annoyed me at first but I got used to it.

JonM · 11-06-2005, 01:05 PM

I kind of like it, actually. I just really like Jaime Foxx's voice.

I may not be saying this down the road, but Kanye has been a breath of fresh air to the declining quality of mainstream rap.

Also The Roots, Outkast and hopefully a reunited Fugees keep can keep the barely alive bloody bullet ridden beast a float.

Actually, this year has been really good for mainstream rap. At least comparatively, I think. I'd say the mainstream is on an upswing. And not just because of Kanye. Little Brother put out a great album on Atlantic. Common, everyone and their mother knows that one. Ghostface has a new one for December on Def Jam, plus the new Outkast soundtrack/album whatever the fuck. The Documentary was far from classic but it kinda shed some of the typical mainstream mediocrity. Even stuff like David Banner's album and Beanie Sigel's have their moments. But I might just be an optimist.

Oh well, there's always the underground.

I feel the same way, Robert Crumb.

Yeah, it is kinda jerky.

Still a good song.

I actually didn't really like that new Little Brother album. Very weak production...

i agree, "everyone" keeps saying how good the album is and this is "real hip hop" but to be quite frank it's shyt...if you've heard their first cd "the listening" and compare it to "the minstrel show" there is no growth in fact it's more like "going down the hill" or maybe they never were on that damn hill lol...i mean how many times are they going to talk about the same old rehashed issues? ie: "i have to take care of my daughter now" "girls didn't want to **** with me because i was broke" "now that i got a record deal the tables have turned" "no one supported us because we're speaking that real shyt" (paraphrasing here) yadda ****ing yadda it's the same old cliche themes with nothing new or original...and i'm sorry but when i heard "cheatin" i couldn't help but laugh that track is a joke i know but come on...no one wants to hear that shyt...give us some fire...and don't give us 25325 skits for us to sit through...i hate skits unless they're meaningful but now a days it's just a waste of space on the track...it's like *yawn* boring predictable material NEXT!

and kanye west: no comment LOL

*yells* I'M MIKE JONES I'M MIKE JONES....back then they didn't want me now i'm hot and they all on me...(i dun give a fuk who you are or what ur name is retard...i'm sorry but it's just hillarious to me and sad at the same time to know that shyt like this is actually getting sold *cringe* but like i said it's "predictable human nature" try that for an oxymoron/paradox)

Being somewhat related to the thead topic, has anyone heard "Lovely Rita Golddigger?" (at least I think that's what it's called).

Basically some DJ or internet nerd is giving Late Registration the Dangermouse/Grey Album treatment, but with Sgt. Peppers. Anyways, it's not half bad.

Robert Crumb · 11-08-2005, 10:12 PM

^Haven't heard that. I did hear a couple tracks from a Pet Sounds/College Dropout mashup. Those were slightly better than those things usually are.

My take is that 9th Wonder is the best at what he does. And what he does is jack old Pete Rock/early 90's beats. I'm sure it's been said before but it's true. I'm not sure if that's a jab or compliment. But he's good at it. I don't ever expect to be wowed by him at this point (and fruity loops only works until you have the resources to do better) but I like his influences and it works on a basic level for me.

Zesty Mordant · 11-08-2005, 11:30 PM

^^
very true, 9th wonder killed on the last Murs album, which I HIGHLY recommend to anybody interested in rap.

6stringslinger · 11-08-2005, 11:49 PM

What do you mean by Dangermouse/Grey Album treatment?? Pardon me I am growing older and less hip.

i'd have to agree with the Murs album, i liked it especially "3-16" "the animal" and "this is for" but overall a good album
