That said, I'm looking for the Cold Crush Brothers' song "Live from Connecticut" (i think it's from a 1982 show.) Kanye used the "throw your hands in the air" sample for "Used to Love U" and "Throw Your Hands (In the Air), and maybe some others that I can't think of right now.Yes this is another lame "requests" post, but I swear this one's for a good cause...

My friend needs it for a song that he's trying to finish. He's unsigned as of now, but he's been making some noise on the radio. if you like analyzing up and coming rappers than I'll post some of his stuff.
Tell him not to BITE and find his own samples. There's a gang of them to choose from.

I'm really not down with the sustained Kanye hatt thing on here, but I was at a secret gig of his in London last night, and his live show absolutely fucking blows. Even after years and years of being shortchanged by visiting US rap acts, as we Brits continue to be, there was something depressing in the way Kanye aimed for and very nearly reached hitherto uncharted levels of suck. I really wanted to like him as well, but that pretty much finished me as far as rap shows are concerned. I like Kanye's records, but after this, I wouldn't cross the street to see him live.
Odd, saw him in Edinburgh last week and his show was
There's every possibility I did, but overall I've been to enough sub-par rap shows, particularly in the last ten years, to conclude that this is just another instance of an artist being unwilling to bother with trivialities like stagecraft, a properly-paced set and all kinds of other things which fall under the heading of "professionalism". I think I'll stick to the records in future.
Yea I think it may have just been an off night? I even like his show - and if it ain't Steely Dan, Hall and Oates or Brother McDonald, I hate concerts. May be pretentious - but when he laid down on stage and started playing random tracks (Mass Appeal, Who Got the Props, etc) I was stoked for kids who, sadly enough, are probably hearing those songs for the first time.
and agreed - I'm sick of the Kanye hatt too.
