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?

No Suspects Found in Grand Hustle Shooting

The Cincinnati Police Department refuted claims of suspects being found in the Philant Johnson homicide case.

"There have been no arrests in this case and there are no warrants pending," said Cincinnati Police Public Information Commander Lt. Mark Briede, according to AllHipHop. "We've heard that Atlanta radio is reporting it and we've gotten several calls about this. But we know nothing about it."

Media Liason Fran Cihon further explained that details would be unavailable because the case was under active investigation. "Our investigators don't discuss their investigations unless there is a major development or an arrest. Once a homicide takes place, we do a media release announcing the crime and it's investigation. But we don't do updates on a case, with the exception of situations where information is uncovered that the public could use to help us resolve the case. In those situations, we release that information to the press in hopes of driving up Crimestoppers tips."

Reports from an Atlanta radio station earlier this week stated that Cincinnati police apprehended two suspects, and were close to arresting a third, in the murder of Philant Johnson, a Grand Hustle Records employee.

Johnson was shot on I-75 in Cincinnati following an argument between rapper T.I.'s entourage (of which Johnson was a member) and several unknown individuals at Club Ritz.
