Graduation: The Samples

Still can't get enough of the soon-to-be NUMBER ONE ALBUM IN THE COUNTRY? (that's right, 50!) Well, below are the samples from Kanye West's Graduation (thanks to my fellow blogger Gowhere for some of the tracks)! You know Kanye brings it on the beats with samples from some various genres of music and this is no exception. If you're a fan of rock, r&b, hip-hop, or just a huge 'Ye fan like us, then you'll enjoy the variety of songs that 'Ye sampled and they'll be a great addition to your music library.

You can now preview songs off the blog with one click (the divShare media player) and still click on the link to DL the song straight to your iTunes or other media player of choice!

Elton John "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" (As sampled in "Good Morning [Intro]")

Steely Dan "Kid Charlemange" (As sampled in "Champion")

Daft Punk "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" (As sampled in "Stronger")

Labi Siffre "My Song" (As sampled in "I Wonder")

Michael Jackson "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" (As sampled in "Good Life")

Mountain "Long Red" (As sampled in "Barry Bonds" & "The Glory")

Can "Sing Swan Song" (As sampled in "Drunk & Hot Girls")

Public Enemy "Bring The Noise" (As sampled in "Everything I Am")

Laura Nyro "Save The Country" (As sampled in "The Glory")


My personal favs... Daft Punk, Labi Siffre "My Song" sooo good, Steely Dan - the "Champion" sample is ridiculous, and can't go wrong w/ Michael Jackson haha.

I bet you a thousand dollars when I post that Prince Phillip track that Kanye used for "Everything I Am", it will mysteriously be a divshare file posted on your site... Give credit where it's due little homies...

dj soul, i didnt mean to start any conflict with you and Ive always been a big fan of okayplayer and the good music that you promote. I appologize for this conduct and for the future being, if I ever use anything from ur blog ill credit each track with your name/source(website) if you will allow me to do so. For now, I took down the 2 tracks I Dled from your divishare. But the rest is legitimate stuff from us.
