he will literally listen to an entire song

lol you just described sampling, congratulations

Bro sounds like he’s planning on assassinating Kanye, referring to him in the past tense. “I loved Kanye’s phrase slicing so much, he was great at it!” Twists the knife deeper

Speeding up samples was not to listen to songs faster 😂 it was for 1. To fit more on limited sampling time and 2. Old machines time stretch functions were bad or non existent, so to make an original soul song at 65 bpm to 88-90 bpm, we had to speed up the sample. Plus producers like RZA was doing the “chipmunk” sound way before kanye even touched an mpc or asr 10.

The crazy thing about this short is you're not describing anything that made Kanye stand out, just, quite literally, an overall generalization of sampling.

He is still alive ya know🤣

why is bro talking in past tense 💀💀

I NEED a full video on this type beat

Kanye was OK. You ever heard of Dj Premier, Jdilla, El-p, madlib, many more?

MF DOOM did the same thing but he doesnt get slurped up

Actually back in the day people sped the records up because samplers didn’t have music disk space. By pitching records way up you could get much longer recordings on the sampler then pitch it down. Classic old trick.

Wow I can’t believe he listened to the entire song all the way from start to finish before sampling . Unheard of

Kanye gone and sampled Hitler’s ideology

The chipmunk sound didn't happen because we "listened to records faster by speeding them up". Samplers had tiny amounts of sampling memory, so you maximised it by sampling the record at a higher speed and then slowing the sampler's playback. Pretty soon you had people deciding they liked the effect of pitched up sounds in general, both inside and outside hip-hop (the first rave music was built on helium vocals, for example). This is before Kanye ever made a beat and it has nothing to do with him.

Impatient listening is not what created the “high pitched” sample sound. Original drum machines (mpc’s) had a limited 8-12 second recording for clips, so to use the entire loop they would need to speed up the record for a sound longer than the available recording space on the machine. Now you know.

Ayo, i need this song

You wanna see how sampling can be taken to the next level then just listen to some jungle from 93

Actually, the high pitched/chipmunk sound was pioneered by The Rza

Love him or hate him. His sampling techniques is inspirational.

The bomb squad would disagree.
