JSngry Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 http://www.dustygroove.com/varfunkcd.htm#416991 The blueprint for Kanye West's incredible work of the past few years -- served up in an all-legit package of original tunes sampled for his own albums and productions for other artists! The range of styles here is really amazing -- and the set runs through old soul, pop, jazz, and R&B -- all of which is pretty great on its own terms, but which will resonate even strongly through its familiar sample used by Kanye! 2CD package features 11 tracks from West's own music, plus 10 more used for his productions -- a total of 21 tracks that include "Sunrise" by The Originals, "Home Is Where The Hatred Is" by Gil Scott Heron, "Diamonds Are Forever" by Shirley Bassey, "Wildflower" by Hank Crawford, "Through The Fire" by Chaka Khan, "Move On Up" by Curtis Mayfield, "Distant Lover" by Marvin Gaye, "My Funny Valentine" by Etta James, "I Just Wanna Stop" by Jimmy Castor Bunch, "Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City" by Bobby Bland, "Let's Do It Again" by The Staple Singers, "Simply Beautiful" by Al Green, "Gilly Hines" by Mandrill, and "Never Had It So Good" by The Chi-Lites. Hey - fun! Quote
ep1str0phy Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Yeah--saw this one on DG, thought it looked interesting. Don't care how you cut it, that's a pretty tough comp (and I'll be damned if 'Simply Beautiful' isn't my favorite late-nite soul ballad... MO-TION, man. What a great cut.). Quote
