Ask runninbaks like LT Brian Westbrook and Reggie Bush who did they watch growing up. they'll say Barry Sanders... itsa way of life, we look to the past to better our future. In essance sampling is what makes Hip-Hop great

Aug 20, 2008 - You guys got to listen to Kanye Wests: Touch the Sky. Does it sound familiar after you listened Move on Up. I think so :)

As for the majority of people who may give Cutis a gander, through kanye west, they're better off making a joke out of other musicians. Having seen kanye west's lyrics for "touch the sky" I wouldn't consider him at all witty, it's just a jumble of lines to fit the theme of himself. Compare it to "move on up" and tell me it compares..

Aug 20, 2008 - is there another version of this, with a stronger bass line? this arraingment favors the brass section but the rythm and per-cussion section is cookin'

philburrell Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - It is indeed the very least. The music has been there since. Younger audiences need to read more and listen to all the available music out there. At the very least they can inquire of the old school old heads who were actually there when it happened. Hurray for hip-hop but it's hops right over the essence of the struggle......

Aug 20, 2008 - kanye wests version is gay - he should learn how to actually write music and come up with a proper song rather than steal other peoples music and computerise it to make it worse

Aug 20, 2008 - You hit the nail right on the head!

Aug 20, 2008 - You can sample like Premier or you can sample like West...One uses a 4 second sample from a completely unknown album from the 60's/70's and flips it around to make a track, one takes a complete track that nearly everyone knows and calls it his.Both sample but one of 'em is a legend and one a wack producer.

Aug 20, 2008 - totally agreed kanye west , everything he touches turns to gold, anyone who says otherwise is jsut trying to show off that they know the song is a cover... good for you youre so smart.. fuck off
