This was before she had a actually long convo with him after his mother died and she found out why he used the song….she as ok with it after that l….was his moms favorite song

You don't need to hear that someone's mother died to appreciate how they used your song and flipped it to claim triumph through tragedy. Mouth wired shut, decides on a song called through the wire. She just never listened to the lyrics. Judgement without listening and understanding is a no no to proper musicians
That's cool, I like that they came to an understanding on it. I see where they're both coming from. I happen to like chipmunk samples lmao. I get it, though. ❤
EXACTLY!!! Thank you for this correction - see, This is Chaka's point (in part), this current generation is way too casual and un informed with other people's works of art. It's disrespectful to "help yourself" to someone else's labor of love (as it were), just for your own commercial gain. By altering her vocal track, for those unfamiliar with the song go and rename it. Ugh!!! SMH😩@@Immobiliare90
@@phillippotee1910 no but they might have watched the original on RUclips and grown to love it. That's how young people come to appreciate songs from before their time. And it happens all the time. I heard of "Pescado Rabioso" only because of Eminem sampling it for "Stepdad". Or Dre sampling Labi Siffre for the "Hi my name is" beat. Happens all the time!
@@WellBreadIIIyou sound ignorant because majority of the music that’s been out for the last 50 years is sampled from older music 😂😂😂 if anything it’s paying homage And no it’s not disrespectful not just knowing who an artist that doesn’t even make music anymore is. Without engineers and producers recycling music and people like me that still listens to oldies nobody would know who anyone like Chaka khan is. L take
She’s fake dude she said she liked it and gave Kanye praise the year the song was on the album and came out but now every person wants to come at kanye
wdym what was done with her art ??? my brother Though the wire , the song in which kanye used the sample , is literally one of the best songs of all time
I understand her apprehension, but that song went global and brought her name straight back to the top with the cream. A banger classic still today. I love Chaka❤
You don't know shit about Chaka Khan though and everything her music represented and how it had an impact. She was 100% right. His abuse of it was an insult.
I feel her lol. The older I've gotten the more I've had an even bigger appreciation to the artists who premiered before 1990. Hip Hop is nothing but samples and then the audience has a tendency to big up the hip hop record more than the original song/beat.
That’s because they don’t know the originals and they wouldn’t if they weren’t sampled dummy😂😂 that’s how music works. How you mad because someone can take something and create something just as beautiful in their own perspective. Most Music from the last 50 years is sampled from other older music. And I bet most of the music in your playlist has samples from other songs
She later said she was overreacting when she said this. She said she just didn’t understand it and that she actually likes it now. Those royalties changed her mind
@@mspinkyteeits actually pretty artistic id say. It captured his situation pretty well. It wasnt really a calm clear sad happy whatever emotion. It was frantic and i think the use of the sample captured that
@@mspinkyteethat’s artistic it was literally the style of that album making it different he’s who made the sound popular her song was good but he made it better
@@BlackStormApparel - Different, but not better. Saying that just shows little to no appreciation for just how good Chaka's own music is.... That vocal was already iconic. By the tiime Kanye got his hands on it, the sample could have been any old soul vocal sped up to a extreme degree. That chipmunk sh't was old and annoying more than a decade before Kanye......
I feel her, I think Kanye freaked it like that to be able to introduce it to the new generations ears and to match the beat. They are BOTH classics now so 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👌🏾 Job well done Kanye👍🏾
It's weird how every celebrity is supposed to be some kind of automatic robot who loves everything and speaks well of everyone. She hates the song, that's her opinion, she's entitled to it. I'm glad she's comfortable enough in herself to be honest about it.
I mean. I get why she doesn't like it. If you have heard her sing that- wow! She can more than sing. Even though I do like Kanye s song, I get her issue with it.
I mean if you think from her POV: you make an amazing song but someone samples it to make it sound like a chipmunk Still an amazing sample and song from Kanye
It wasn’t his moms favorite song - he heard this in the hospital after the car accident. The hospital played the same songs every day and this was his favorite. He immediate heard it as “through the wire” - especially the lyric that says “right down to the wire - even through the fire” and that meant a lot to him
This gives me the vibes when we was younger…. How We used to dub(record over) our parents tapes back then😂 And when they go to listen to it? It would have our shid playing over it😭😭😂 You gotta love the 80’s kids🥰
None the less that song was HARD! Early 2000s ...what!?? Kanye was pushing a movement im actually glad that he made her apart of it...She should not be mad
if you ever feel sad remember we live in a time where someone like Chaka Khan managed to take care of her voice so that we can still experience her singing, feeling blessed🙏🏻
I get her perspective and at the same time, he made a entirely new classic... both versions will go down in the history of music. Two musical greats amplified through a remake. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@IRRGold: THATS NOT THE POINT! CHAKA IS EXPLAINING HOW SHE ISN’T PLEASED WITH HIM SAMPLING THE MAIN VERSE OF HER SONG! SHE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE MONEY! I CAN SEE WHERE YOUR PRIORITIES LIE!
kanye is criminally overrated, just in general. she ain't from this era, she's not gonna pretend like kanye west is some prodigy like people seem to think he is. dude is ok for like a generic rap artist, but that's about the extent of it. someone like chaka khan is a whole different skill level. and i'm not even like a huge fan or whatever, i just found out about her recently lol. i'm more of a 90's/early 2000's kid myself. i'm just honest though. you think kanye is great, cuz he literally told you he is lmao. the ego can be a very powerful tool.
Sadly Kanye wasn’t given writers credit for Through The Wire, it’s insane how licensing/clearances works. Only the original writers, composers and vocalists got writers credit. He would’ve been better off having musicians replay the music and had someone else lay the vocals, the way he had to do with All Falls Down. I don’t think he knew he’d get played out of recognition and royalties though. He was so new to the game.
Yall don’t understand that THATS WHAT PRODUCERS DO🤦🏾 he wasn’t asking her to feature on the song and it’s not through the wire ft Chaka khan. He asked to sample her voice for the beat and that’s what he did. She upset because she doesn’t understand and people obviously don’t understand how music is made. You’d be surprised how many songs are sampled and flipped, chopped, edited, to make the music we listen to and been listening to for the last 50 something years😂😂
Chaka is legendary - without question, however Kanye made her name and talent relative to entire new listening audience. I'm sure there's a follow up interview offering clarification to her statement. At least I hope that to be the case. Chicago strong!
I feel why she’d be upset, she’s an artist and she’s sensitive about her shit. That’s her creation, can’t be mad at it.
It’s not Bruh, he got permission. So it’s his song now, he didn’t make “Through the fire” he mad “Through the wire” a much bigger and more beloved song than you are giving it credit for.
