OFFICIAL Ye fka "kanYe West" x G.O.O.D. Music Thread - ¥$ (AKA YE X TY DOLLA SIGN) - VULTURES (NOW AVAILABLE WOWWWW)

[nako xl]

Yeah Daft Punk did a lot of the original production on those tracks, but Kanye, Mike Dean and Hudson Mohawke added a lot to them also.

Also to help people further understand all the "There were liek 15 writers/producers credited per song" issues that were going around:

The song “Guilt Trip,” featuring Kid Cudi, includes writing credits for Keith Elam, Chris Martin, Kelvin Hansford, Dupre Kelly, Al-Terik Wardrick, and Marlon Williams. Further down, it is explained that the song “contains interpolations” of a song called “Chief Rocka,” which was written by the above-listed names.

“Chief Rocka” is a classic single by New Jersey hip-hop group Lords of the Underground that came out in 1993. The “interpolation” referred to in the album credits appears to be a line on West’s first verse, “the one Chief Rocka, number one Chief Rocka,” which is the hook of the original song. That explains why Hansford, Kelly, Wardrick, and Williams are credited; Hansford, also known as K-Def, produced “Chief Rocka,” while Kelly, Wardrick, and Williams are the three members of Lords of the Underground (DoItAll, Mr. Funk, and DJ Lord Jazz).

But what about Elam and Martin? Hip-hop fans know them better as Guru and DJ Premier, respectively. Together Guru and Premier formed the legendary hip-hop group Gang Starr. And that’s where things get confusing in the liner notes. Gang Starr did not make an appearance on “Chief Rocka.” Premier did not produce the beat; K-Def did. Meanwhile, the original single only credits Wardrick, Kelly, Hansford, and Williams with writing the song.

Chances are likely that this was just an oversight on the part of the person putting together the liner notes. He or she might have assumed that “Chief Rocka” was a Gang Starr song. And this is why you don’t make assumptions in the Internet era.

If Kanye sampled a song, interpolated one, quoted a rapper, etc. he credited them in the liner notes.  To the point where he was even giving credit to artists who didnt actually do anything.

People LOVE Bound 2 but then are calling a song like On Sight a mess, but why?  Objectively, On Sight is a Daft Punk produced song that sounds like the same Daft Punk **** from the early 2000s that people were calling the future of sound.  EVERYONE who is a Daft Punk fan would have killed to have On Sight on Random Access Memories, but because it's a Kanye song all of a sudden it's terrible.  His lyrics didn't ruin that song, people just don't like that hard industrial sound. 

I'm sorry, but On Sight sounds NOTHING like what Daft Punk did on Discovery.

The only thing that's even close is the beginning of Crescendolls and that was just for the intro.

On Sight sounds nothing like anything on Discovery or RAM

 

[xbiker47]

On Sight has grown on me so much since the first time I heard it

On Sight sounds nothing like anything on Discovery or RAM

And that's why a large segment of people don't like RAMs.

Their other albums then...

 

[MajinZuub]

Homework was made to be a "rave" album, and it dropped almost 20 years ago. For the most part since they've left that sound behind, outside of songs like Brainwasher and Robot Rock. And those were on albums/ep's that fans for the most part dislike.

 

[meek meals]

Hope he does Blood On The Leaves

 

[halftime]

Slowing Blood On The Leaves down to about 75 BPM sounds great.

 

[stopcappin]

Ye is performing at oVo fest tonight

 

[superantigen]

Just watched the Jay "Picasso Baby" vid for the first time and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm sure that's due to the editing though...

People wanna act like Jay is breaking new ground with a performance like that, but I just don't see it. I honestly saw "Kanye's influence" written all over that performance.

Kanye probably did have some sort of influence there.

Yeezus just did a surprise performance at Drake's OVOfest in Toronto...dude killed the stage doing New Slaves and Cant Tell Me Nothing

Drake brought out quite a bit of surprise guests including TLC, Asap Rocky, French Montana....but he pulled Diddy and Ma$e which was the highlight to me...Lil Wayne was there too

 

[xbiker47]

Nice to see Ye perform, now if he could only make some tour dates

 

[krazyrodzilla]

 

[airjordan jb23]

VMA's

 

[illphillip]

Dude finally realized he needs to promote

 

[foamhead93]

Still not gonna watch the VMA's
I would not be surprised if tour info comes out after the VMA's
At least...it should.

 

[dcs23]

like i mentioned before, Yeezus surprise appearance at Drake's OVOfest in Toronto was crazy! Dude had so much energy and crowd was just bananas. Nice to see him smile again as well. Not my vid, but I'm sure y'all will enjoy

 

[lil black jean jacket]

Hope he does Blood On The Leaves​

[senorroboto2k5]

I see him doing New Slaves. Seems like it would leave the kind of impact he goes for at these big shows.
