What up. Back with another chapter of the Stu Reid Sampler, where we trace the samples of contemporary music back to their originals. I love uncovering great samples, especially when the original hook is recontextualized in a completely new way.
This one only sort of counts as an uncovered sample, since technically the "sample" portion of this Kanye tune is Jamie Foxx covering Ray Charles' "I've Got A Woman", but the essence is the same. Especially because the original is so dope. I definitely love the original Ray Charles version with a passion, and it's gotten many listens from me.
Kanye's take on it is pretty solid as well, as I'm sure you've heard. He's no stranger to sampling great tracks, so I have the feeling he may make another appearance here on Stu Reid Sampler. Big points go to the original here, though.
Enjoy.
Original: Ray Charles - I've Got A Woman (filesavr) (YSI)
New: Kanye West f. Jamie Foxx - Goldigger (filesavr) (YSI)
