[@sosagam]

So complex but simple at the same time

[@bigol9223]

the way this man flips a sample consistently amazes me. he brings out the texture

[@brainiacz5223]

[@dariusmcnair601]

Damn, Kanye took half a second of 2 notes & made a masterpiece! What an ear!!!

[@RinoTheDino3]

thats so cool

[@pesterian41]

it seems so easy when it's broken down like this for you but you have to try it for yourself to realize how good he is

[@hofclipz]

took me 30 minutes to get it right. way harder than it seems especially the fact that he had the idea himself.

I have a pretty unknown theory about Yikes and Thought about killing you..(first 2 tracks of Ye). If it's not a sample I think he clearly did an interpretation of Gladys Knight's 'make it through the night'. The way she talks at the beginning and the voice inflections are identical to what he does in ITAKY..... Her song was later sampled by EPMD in 'Da Joint'.. That beat is very similar to yikes in many ways especially the hook Also, the sample they use (Gladys Knight track) at 1:06, the lyric at the beginning of the sentence has a "sh" sound and is clearly what he used in yikes for that "shit could get" lyric in the hook over n over. Give a list of to both of those and you'll see….. again I don't think it's a direct sample but if it's not an interpolation it's definitely an interpretation he did
