It didn’t just grow out in New York, it grew out eevrywhere, LA (Wescoast), Texas, etc.
hey jazzmaestra, would you rather everyone completely forgot who shirley bassey was? you know how much i love imogen heap now because of what jason derulo did with her track. if you can’t see the benefits just make your own jazz music that nobody will listen to ever and shut up because you are not offering anything of value to the conversation.
If you can even play anything. I play the drums, piano and turntables AND I SPIT HOT FIRE what you got going on?
dude you make a good point, but fuck it, this song is beast
u make a good point, but fuck it dude, this song is beast
I understand your frustration…keep in mind this – rap grew out of the ghetto’s of new york where classical music training was pretty much non-exsistant so people made music however they could. Also, I persoanlly was thrown into old music including jazz, soul, blues, even prison work songs all starting from hip hop. I heard jazz samples and went futher to find the original artist. In my opinion hip hop producers saved jazz in a way by letting many get a small taste of it even if sampled.
This is why I do not like Rap. The vocals are by Dame Shirley Bassey. The fact that Kanye and the rest of these second rate poets would sample her vocals suggests that they are no where near the musicianship of Dame Shirley and others of her ilk. Back in the 1960s-1980s and earlier, musicians did not sample; they created their own music. Go figure?!?!?!?!
If they could get Lupe on this track (even though he’s not Roc), it would be one hell of a song.
im not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not but they sample kanye used is from a james bond film Diamonds are Foerver
On that ” Diamonds Remix”, I swore i’d spaz
Then my big brother came through and kicked my ass…lol
@sdgsdgsdgsd3 that’s because the song it’s based on “Diamonds Are Forever” by Shirley Bassey was the james bond theme song
hes refering to the ROC throughout this song. its more about the ROCAFella records than conflict diamonds.
the music sounds likea james bond film
If you listen to the song, he clearly admits to that:
“It’s in black person’s soul to rock that gold,
spend your whole life tryna’ get that ice”
Jay z can rap bout whatever the fuck he wants understand that
late registration to graduation lol
yeah the first part
Random person? Thats shirley bassey retard
Who’s the random person in between Kanye and jay z’s verses?
jayz killed kanye on this one but really kanye was more into the topic in sierra leone than jayz
