What makes for a good sample? Is it not being able to recognise the original, but still have a familiar feeling when you hear the song? Or is it being completely unable to tell what the original song is? Different things stick out for different people! One thing is for sure, though. Kanye West is unarguably one of the producers most adept at using samples. Ye's career as both an artist and producer is littered with several gems. With an insane catalogue of samples like he has, it is indeed difficult to narrow down what his best is. Some people say this gem is up there as one of Kanye's best works . Do you agree? 🎥: @Marbie ⭐️ #kanyewest #ye #samples
