Kanye's samples from his new album

Here's a compilation of most of the major samples involved in Kanye West's new release, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

It's pretty interesting to hear how he flips these. I think it's less related to actual musical ability and more related to just having an ear for what could sound good, and having the dedication to listen through crates and crates of old stuff.

As seen on TV: how not to do it
