@@bergslands1640 yes lyrics are important in the hip hop genre but it’s not everything too. The sound of a song is on par with how important rapping is to a song. And One can argue POWER “sounds” better than all those songs you’ve named but that’s my opinion.
@@beadly2645 No he can't! 70% of the sounds you hear on his record are samples...I uses to be a beat maker...he is chopping up samples of music from real musicians and playing down the drums over them and adding in keyboard effects! It sounds wonderful when he done with the finished product but he's no Issac Hayes, Rufus, Niles Roger's or Quincy Jones!
@@WallTrapMedia he can make beats from scratch too, he's just better with samples. Sampling always was and always will be a part of hip hop, it's a given. Calm down.
@@jhamircounsel711 He can make beats but he's not a real musical genius. I grew up on hip-hop so I understand the art of sampling but I simply give more credit to the original musicians who crafted those sounds using real live music. Now, Kanye's production started to improve when he added Jon Brion to his team who was a real musician and Kanye has used many true musicians to work on his music but we can't put him in the same space as a Prince, Nile Rogers, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Mozart or Issac Hayes, etc Why? Because for the most part hip hop is just sampling, looping and bringing in pre-recorded drums over those sounds. It's not a complex art form at all musically but when it's done rihgt like Power by Kanye West it is brilliant but it's not a breakthrough. Now in terms of verbal expression it's the ultimate art form but today it's too oversaturated because it takes less skill to do rap versus other many other genres because of the lack of need for true singing ability or an ability to play REAL music.
Kanye used the Original Continent No. 6 Afromerica vocalist Alvin Fields to sing on the M.B.D.T.F. Power Chants as well as on All Of The Lights, Lost In The World, and Who Will Survive In America. His name also appears in the video credits on All Of The Lights.
what on earth are you talking about? of course he paid/pays royalties. the group got credit, the publishing company got paid. you think an artist of kanye's level of fame can get away with not clearing samples? he'd get taken to the cleaners.
ok heres what happened S1 had the afroamerica sample and cold grits drums Kanye added the guitar and the king crimson sample and the beat change for Dweles part
Sample 1: Afromerica- Continent 6 Sample 2: It’s your thing- Cold Grits Sample 3: 21st Century Schizoid Man- King Crimson Listen to each individually and feel grateful to experience the brilliance behind his selection, arrangement and realize we are blessed to be provided with this level of genius in our generation.🙌🏼
It took a lot of people to work together along with kanye west in order to compose the song Power, used like 3 different samples as the foundation of the song. Thats a pretty damn amazing song and finding out how much effort it to took to construct it is amazing. Stop hating, music is made from foundations like samples. Stop complaining over semantics when modern music is made from like a few breakbeats from a drumset.

I'm not here because of kanye actually, i'm here because i heard this song in a japanese talk show called utaban... been looking for this song for 10 years, but i couldnt make out the lyrics when it was in the show
I’m living in the 21st century doing somthing mean to it do it better than anyone you have ever seen do it screams from the haters got a nice ring to it I guess every superhero needs his theme music
I'm 6 years fucking late. But King Crimson are not death metal, no where close actually. Don't get me wrong they are one of my favourite bands and I will always love them but they are not death metal. I don't even like death metal.

came after skindred kill the power
Oh fo sho. 5000 hours to make "Power".
yup, kinect sports
It's amazing to see Kanye's influence. They even made a new song recreating the instrumental from Power.
Yeah, he's a real genius
You must be trolling, right?
@@chilivelife2581 No shit Sherlock
@@xeinem2345 It's just a collage of different songs. It doesn't impress me at all.
Skindred - Kill the Power has this sample too
It's impressive that POWER, one of the best rap songs of all time, samples 3 other songs that are all amazing in their own right
That's part of what makes it so good. It has elements of rock, pop, rap, soul, and R&B, combined into one song.
@@maack633 and all those genres are combined into one album, what a classic

If it wasn't for sampling the oldies would die out, thank sampling for letting the oldies to live!!
大好きな歌なので聴けてよかったです！ありがとうございます
The clapping, drum beat, and chants make this song good, even on it's own.
THANK YOU! I used to dance to this back in 1980, and could never find the record again! I was hoping that someone would upload it! :-)
I've played this 20x times and I see everything learning how this man ye is a genius. I love the original so much too!! It's on repeat

Most of the time when people say stuff like that’s stealing it’s either bc they just hate the artist or are legit uninformed
ok heres what happened
S1 had the afroamerica sample and cold grits drums
Kanye added the guitar and the king crimson sample and the beat change for Dweles part
he also flew in the original writer to resing all the samples so he has them as high quality stems/multitracks
thats dedication
Sample 1: Afromerica- Continent 6
Sample 2: It’s your thing- Cold Grits
Sample 3: 21st Century Schizoid Man- King Crimson

Totally love this!
FANTÁSTICA MUSICA AFRO-DISCO DE LOS 70´S- GRACIAS POR UPLOAD
he has a giant library full of albums. either that or he just listen's to tons of music every day or people gives him samples
CaratGlobbins I think it's both
He buys the rights to music in bulk and samples them
this single handly proves that kanye is the goat of producing
Why THE HELL isnt this on spotify
i think he means THIS song @@erwinjacobs86 💀
It is its called power
Power is like literally golden Diamond standard song that song is insane
inoubliable ce tube ! souvenir de 1er sortie en boite!
What seems surreal to me is that this version feels like a sample from Power while in fact being the original. Incredible.

Afromerica is just a synonym for places in america where black people tend to live
How is this not on spotify or apple music? I can see why Kanye chose this song for POWER
This song actually got sampled in the album MBDTF twice
what was the other song beside power?
