Kanye West: My Beautiful Dark Samples
March 10th, 2011 | By EMQ Network Contributor
Here’s a video of Kanye West samples from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
Also, Des from On221 posted and made a mix of the samples, unfortunately the download link is broken but Des does offer up this accurate description of Kanye’s work:
It’s a beautiful clusterfuck of sound, discord, and emotion amalgamated to deliver this amazing piece of audio art.
Creative genius or overrated, Kanye definitely knows his way around music. Can’t wait to see what he cooks up for Jay-Z on Watch the Throne.
