Listening to a friend's iPod, untouched by prog, and what sample do I hear in Kanye West's new single, "Power"? King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man," of course. Anyone heard this? Thoughts? -------------

| Actually, this has been brought up many many many times. A lot of us know about it. Don't mean to sound mean, but just letting you know. Also, that song pisses me off. Power, not... KC's |

Yeah like Mushroom Sword said. There have been 5-10 threads on this matter. |

This is so played out- check this thread for some schooling. It's a big list of examples of prog in rap, many of them going back years. It's not even comprehensive, I've got lots more I could use. Prog heads are just ignorant about hip-hop for the most part so they think this is something new.

Yeah, sorry anoah, but I couldn't resist the little joke. Oh and just a friendly tip, next time or any time you want to create a thread, go and check that it hasn't been made already by going to the 'search' function at the top of the forum page. Keep posting and enjoy the forum!  ------------- https://gabebuller.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - New album! http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385 |

It's complete rubbish. I'm not in the least bit impressed that he's sampled KC. His own song is a crock of sh*t, like everything else I've ever heard by him. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I don't understand why he would want to sample KC. -------------

Because he likes it, perhaps?
Even rappers have personalities! lol...  ------------- http://www.thefreshfilmblog.com/" rel="nofollow">

I think he also stole Jethro Tull's ballet dancers.  |
