This isn't for me, I'm asking this for a friend. 
I'm assuming Kanye's "Homecoming" is not a sample-based, or is it? I've already tried to 
but the FAQ didn't turn up anything, which already supports my assumption.

i'm officially old this year though - i hit 30 and the month afterwards my eldest daughter goes to secondary school... i'm finding myself developing a nervous tick associated with chipmunk vocal-based tracks i'm subjected to via mobile phone speaker too.
But that doesnt mean much. Its sounds live to me.
shit is corny as hell
ya'll are buggin too, radio shit maybe but its the realist radio shit out. kanye's dope, figure it out.
it's impossible to reply to this without prompting some massive debate, at the end of which nobody changes their perspective.

i just can't understand 90% of what passes for hip-hop these days. all the daytime radio stuff seems to be: piss weak beats adorned by weaker still flows. tragic. i wouldn't touch any of that shit with the same hands that bought stunts, blunts & hip-hop; funky technicians; stress; word... life; etc. (i could name hundreds of albums there obviously but you get the picture) if i put some of that in the stacks with the rest, the rest would leave... or plot against me behind my back. cause of death: decapitated by a naughty by nature 12" from the 00s...
and yet strangley, i agree with you (though i've never understood the appeal of naughty by nature). i just appreciate that kanye obviously samples and isn't afraid to pay the cost for those samples. i appreciate that even though he's a bit of a dumbshit, he is a personality and he's a genius at marketing himself. he's got some corny lines but still his raps are far more interesting than the typical radio rap - 50 included. and i think he makes good music. if i hear another 74 bpm beat with super fast 808 snare rolls or tiny clap sounds and waaaaay too many hi-hats and a synth with some mush mouth non hip hop rapper saying some verse with no flavor at all and boring uninteresting rhymes and then repeating a 4 word chorus for 60% of the song i'm gonna beat myself in the testicles until my eyes pop out and my ears bleed!
link?
the fact that he (and he's far from the worst example) "defiles" hip-hop with the sampling of 80s hits bullshit AND YET... he gets lauded for his business smarts etc.
this kind of thing makes me feel the oldest of all, i think. hip-hop has come a long way from where it was when
i feel your pain. i'll be 38 in 3 months and a b-boy for 25 years.
older friends told me this would happen
i threatened beatdowns with my nameplate belt buckle
they were right
plus i've gotten to the point where i won't sample anything outside of single hits and i only buy records i actually want to listen to... word - wtf?
Two words. Beach Chair.
i needed to raise money for bills/debts after a prolonged period of time off from work. i didn't wake up and go "i think i'll sell all my hip-hop and buy instruments instead" it was more a case of - how can i raise this money.
it's more of a thing because in the past i'd never have thought of this as a possibility whereas now i need the money and if it's records or MPC etc. then the records are leaving... but not all of them!
Thank you. Now let the
Great track. There haven't been many albums released since Graduation I've liked as much. Great stuff. It would have surprised me if they'd let a sample that big slide - since they even cleared the "Yeah!!" from Long Red in Barry Bonds.
Also, if the worst thing radio played was Kanye, I'd be a happy man. And I'd listen to the radio a lot more.
That ain't Hawaiian, now go away.
The audience, though, is a sample.
