Jeff Bhasker on Producing Kanye's "Power", "Heartless", "Amazing" & "Love Lockdown" (Part 4)

[@tonyfrausto2027]

You could run in to this dude at the grocery store and not know who he really is. Dude literally is apart of music history and is so underrated

[@ogarrt]

that’s how it is in rap the rapper the main attraction. rappers have to embrace the producer via shouting them out in a song, moshing with them on stage, getting them in music vids etc. you have to branch out to other stuff like edm or fashion or videographer to be known as an entity

[@starsareangels]

Underrated to those Who dont know Who he is.

Great interview. "Heartless doesn't sample so strong" confused me a bit. Heartless main synth is very obviously a sample from Ammonia Avenue (about 2:30 in) by Alan Parsons, right? Last I checked it wasn't on WhoSampled though and it's never been officially confirmed.

[@Phtthnku34567]

yeah that’s the main sample . but the drums and the piano breaks , 808s and bass are all original . it’s the chop of the consistent piano chord that stays the same
