How original is Kanye?? All Of Kanye's Samples

Now..  Before I post this video.  I'd like to ask a few questions, because some of these samples I didn't know he basically re-did the beat from.  I just thought he mostly had voice samples, but the video shows he takes the beats too.  

Now, I remember some years ago, when Murder Inc. was on top, and I was gettin' on Irv Gotti's ass for takin' old rap beats and re-doin' them.  Now Dr. Dre did some of this, but..  Dr. Dre only took peices for his song, not just throw in some extra kicks, snares, his, n 808s.  I mean some shit that's really really really really tight, are actually pretty old.  So, with damn near every beat you've heard Kanye do, is basically some old song with a few more tinks added it.  The part we credit him for the most (cuz I surely don't think he's a great rapper,) he actually hasn't masterminded it.  Not sayin' he's not capable for doin' some tight beats, because the "Workout Plan," or beats like that "B Alright" (Trina n Ludacris), track he did isn't on there.  But should he get the credit he deserves?

Coldplay's Chris Matrin is a Biter not a Writer

If Coldplay’s latest release, “Viva la Vida,” sounds familiar, that may be because it bears a slight resemblance to the lesser-known Creaky Boards number, “The Songs I Didn’t Write.” At least that’s what CB frontman Andrew Hoepfner thought when he first heard the iTunes ad-track du jour.

The easy comparison led Andrew to produce a YouTube mashup video of the two songs, containing text that explained his case. The clip also features footage of CB playing the CMJ Festival last October, where Andrew claims they saw a famous face in the audience.

“We were flattered when we thought we spotted Chris Martin in the crowd that night,” Andrew wrote. “He seemed pretty into it! Maybe TOO into it.”

According to a Coldplay spokesperson, Andrew was wrong about the sighting and the song’s inspiration. Now Andrew’s turned to E! online to clear up the confusion.

“Soon after the video blew up, I received a call from Coldplay's manager,” the singer-songwriter said. “They were really nice about the whole thing and explained about their whereabouts and old demos. I guess the song similarities are just a coincidence ... great minds think alike?”

Then Andrew joked, “Anyway, I must have been mistaken about seeing Chris at the show because all British people look the same. I lived in London for six weeks and I seriously thought every third person on the corner was Coldplay.”

Hmm...
