Nigga did nothing creatively just slapped his name on someone's creative work and called it a day

That Daft Punk robbery..i mean..sample was over the top because of the credit dude gets.
what about california love? changes? tonight? man so much shit gets sampled where it hasnt changed much, it brings back the old songs and lets us enjoy them again!!!yeah its good to hear FRESH shit which is really made from scratch, but some of that old music is timeless and sounds better when sampled!!!

Kanye could just release compilations like "Kanye Presents Gems of the 70s". The point is who gets the credit for being creative. Kanye was once on Much Music here in Toronto and was complaining about how Good Charlotte "stole" Jay Z's "this is the anthem get your damn hands up" line for their hit of the time. At that moment I really wanted a brick to come flying into his head.Imagine if The Jonas Brothers sang the lyrics of an Illmatic song over a new track of original music and got praised for being a skilled rhymer and great lyricist with no credit going to Nas. Would you be defending it by saying "well a lot of 13 year old girls now get to hear Nas's old classic"?
