[@kawaiiafangirl]

For those who were wondering why this was a bonus track, it's probably bc the sound was too similar to songs from The College Dropout and Kanye most likely wanted to set The Late Registration (which incorporates instruments frequently used in an orchestra) apart from that. He's gone back to that sound in a way in other albums ("Good Life" in Graduation, "Devil in a New Dress" in MBDTF, "Bound 2" in Yeezus) but with LR being released only a year and a half from The College Dropout, he most likely wanted some distance from the usual sped up soul sample sound that he was associated with.

[@tensazangetsu7062]

His soul samples are goated and that common verse is awesome

[@Andrew-gk6bn]

I always assumed it was sample clearance

[@Ghostfacekillah1]

Idk I hear orchestral elements in here but it does sound somewhere in between TCD and LR
