How Kanye West Uses Samples to Tell Stories
Vložit

- Kanye West is widely considered one of the best producers in history. But what's often overlooked is the way he uses musical samples to propel, enrich, and contextualize the larger stories told on his albums. In this video, we dissect the samples on the album Yeezus to show how Kanye West uses samples to tell stories.
Dissect is a serialized music analysis podcast that unpacks the music, lyrics, and meaning of one album per season, one song per episode. Season 8 is dedicated entirely to Kanye West's Yeezus. We also have full seasons on Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean,, Childish Gambino, Tyler The Creator, Beyonce, and more.

This video was written & produced by Cole Cuchna with Travis Bean and Chris Lambert from Watching The Throne (bit.ly/2SpnXGg). Animation by Tom Goulet. Original score by Birocratic. Special thanks to Camden Ostrander, Casey Simonson, & Robert Adler. - Hudba
the visuals on this are insane
Facts shit is amazing
@Carrie Sato It feels really familiar
@Carrie Sato same
the description credits everyone involved with the video, including the person who made the visuals
thats prob why its in 7 fps
whoever tf is researching and editing for these videos needs a raise
facts.
Based
mix of watch the throne and cole himself i think
I still remember how people hated Yeezus and especially bound 2 back in 13. WAY AHEAD OF HIS TIME!
"they give is what we need, it may not be what we want"
It wasn't ahead of it's time because it heavily borrowed from a lot of artists in the underground at the time.
@@jkam2393 all art is heavily borrowed, welcome to the market place of ideas.
@@r.i.petika829 Yeah but you can't call something "ahead of it's time" when somebody was doing the same years before
@@jkam2393 by that logic, Michelangelo wasn't ahead of his time because the work he did was done before lol.
What frank ocean did on new slaves,is illegally good😭
TOO HIGH AGAIN 🙌🙌
Someone said, People never get the flowers while they could still smell. For how little it might mean I would like to say great job on the podcast looking forward to the next album
if you admire somebody you should go ahead and tell them
people never get the flowers while they can still smell em
i wonder who said that :D
Amazing video 🙌🏿🙌🏿
@@gjkoyr and I Wonder… if you know…
Soon as he explained on sight. I knew this would be phenomenal I just wish it was 30 min instead of 9 😂🍿
We have a full 13 episode season on Yeezus!
@@DissectPodcast WHATTTT!!! Lmao
@@DissectPodcast WHERE
@@polobanks123 Spotify
Didn’t even realize 30 minutes passed😴
The narratives of Kanye‘s albums makes me appreciate them so much more
I don’t think we’ll ever get another Kanye West again. Such a musical genius
Ye Always Have Another Level
Tyler the Creator should not be over looked when it comes to production and sampling
@@tonyeffinmalony Tyler was influenced by ye
@@tonyeffinmalony if we don’t have Kanye then we don’t have Tyler.
Once in a few centuries type of artist.
I never even realized how good this album was until it forced be understand. that's the cool thing about true artistic genius... first, because you aren't used to this new forward-thinking idea, you reject it. you try to stay in the safe zone, your comfort zone. but then, as the beauty in it becomes so looming and everpresent that you cant keep it out of your mind, you return to it. then, after giving it time to get to introduce itself, you truly become one with it and what it stands for. that, all that, is what Yeezus taught me.
TL;DR, moozik guud.
awesome comment
"TL; DR" G.O.O.D Music ;)
BRO the crazy thing is on my first faze(when it came out) of listening to the album I was already a big fan of 808's and heartbreak I loved it but I couldn't understand it even though I knew it had a deeper meaning to it I was 14 at that time. Then when the Yeezus tour happened and even if I didn't go to it I listened to his interviews and speeches it really started to structure the album story for me but I couldn't put it in my top five until Ye came out and know with seeing Kanye's whole life as a story it makes it top 5 for me. Actually many people would agree with me but it is top 3 for me lol I love it sooo much it has changed me a lot seeing bacck my life I wouldn't know what type of life I would have seeing how kanye has changed my life.
yo this video is 2 weeks old and ur comment is 3 weeks old
yeezus taught you well
before death grips fans arrive, comparing yeezus to a death grips album is an insult to Arca, Evian Christ, Daft Punk, Hud Mo, Brodinski, etc., who all did spectacular production on this album that stands very comfortably in its own lane.
Fr ppl hear one noisy/abrasive thing and say it’s exactly the same as another. Says more abt them not being able to properly listen to music beyond that. Yeezus is v clearly Chicago/European acid house and dancehall influenced whereas Death Grips is much more psychedelic/industrial rock influenced
not comparing them but wanting a dg album review, prob exmilitary or TMS
@@Hyphaen no actually i just dont think you have heard a album
Honestly, I am a Ye and DG fan. I love both of the album's for what they are doing. Ye did not invent industrial HH and you can argue neither did DG. They are both artist's that have created beautiful pieces of art and we should just appreciate the fact they exist. Much love to everyone following this amazing podcast
@@kyledamons4242 i agree but, you could make a argument that dg did popularize industrial hiphop
J Dilla definitely has to be next. No question.
Fr so many ppl overlook his sampling as j aesthetics but Donuts is def ur there w any great non instrumental album for the depth it has
Dilla the greatest
Last 🍩 of the 🌌
yes i agree. Dilla influenced everybody, including kanye
Bro!! 🙌🏽
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS! There’s isn’t a track on Yeezus I don’t like.
on sight
@@mrbodycatcer on sight is fire
Yeezy season approaching fuck whatever y’all be hearin
@@dollageevevo5403 fuck what fuck whatever y’all been wearin a monster bout to come alive again
Kanye: “damn, I really did that?”
This album is what first got me into experimental music. I still remember the teenage me couldnt believe music could sound like this at that time. Literally a life changing sound for me.
Try WLR by Carti. An experimental beautiful piece.
This is so good that I want to cry.
same this was eye opening
The visuals and editing on this video are amazing😩 This season was the bomb honestly, thank you so much cole and the dissect team! This podcast deserves alll the hype
I feel guilty seeing this for free. This is crazy.
6 days till premier. Already know how great it’s gonna be
A time traveler? WITCHCRAFT!
The yeezus album is to me Kanye's best concept album. The story is beautiful
Kanye’s best album in general
Yeezus is quite simply one of the greatest albums of all time.
no
@@nicolastrevino6391 cope
I love this album so much. Very overhated and underrated. Controversial but top 3 to 4 Kanye.
Tbh it’s low key his best
Respectable Opinion
Man this is making me upset thinking about his divorce :( hope ye is alright
Such a dope video! After listening to this season I almost envision this as a movie. After you listen to Guilt Trip you think you know you’re headed towards a resolution and then Send It Up hits you. Then you start to think well this character isn’t going to figure it out. Then you hear Bound 2 where he does find his equal and what he needs. Then right before the song ends it’s almost like in horror movies when you think you’ve killed the bad guy and he opens his eyes and the movie ends. That’s how I feel after Kanye is saying “Bound” at the end of the song as in stuck with. What a great album.
People critique Kanye for his lack of depth and wack bars on some tracks but the thing is, Kanye creates art through sound.
Other artists create art through their words like Kendrick, and he's incredible at it, but Kanye just expresses himself in a different way and deserves more recognition for it.
Nah bro you capping Kanye has one of the best songs using vocabulary and also sound
Look at College Drop out that's as deep as you get and as real
Look at Heard em say
Don’t know what impressed me more; your ability to break down with such in-depth understanding the album, or the amazing mind of artists like Kanye to create so beautifully and intentionally
This video, this podcast, this album…. This is one of those videos you want EVERYBODY you know to see. Incredible
so true
Hi Cole! I've been a fan of your podcasts since you released the Kendrick season and just found out you had a CZcams channel. Loving the animation and editing along with your awesome analysis (as always).
I love that you included the "you ain't got the answers Sway" clip. Super excited for the new season!
Bruh we need more of these full videos!! Thes last few minutes when you explained bound made me tear up bro. So beautiful, then the last clip of Kanye talking about putting himself at risk….. 😭🤦🏾♂️ beautiful video man
This is great! The perfect way to end this season. I’ll picture these images when I listen to future and past seasons, it’s like a window into how Cole breaks down the music, awesome season 👍🏻
I'll never look at Yeezus or samples the same. Awesome vid

yeezus is the album that turned me into kanye's big fan. when i first heard of this album i thought that this album was way ahead of its time, like pharrell's the neptunes in the 90s

Thank you for posting again
Keep this going man!!!
Thanks Cole and the team for yet another awesome Season of Dissect! It made remember why I fell in love with the Yeezus album 💿 in the first place when it was unleashed back in 2013! It Definitely was ahead of its time in regards to what constitutes as a ‘Hip-Hop’ album as it sonically sounded like Nothing else at the time and dare I say, nothing else since..An Instant Classic!
I love your dedication
That was dope! Thanks for this
bro ur so good at analyzing this
im making this comment now before you blow up, been listening to the podcast since the 2nd season ,it's amazing to see that you're hard work and dedication has successfully transferred to youtube and tiktok, please keep at it Cole, you are a one of a kind creator.
Very well put together
I always considered Yeezus to be a masterpiece. In my opinion its sound scenery is amazing.
Over 10 years since its release, I have just watched this video and am blown away by this additional artistic layer that I was never aware of! This lifts the album to a whole new level.
My mouth is still open from that revelation!!
Great video!
Now you have started something 😂
Please give us what we need!
Great videos, great work, please never stop!
This is hands down the best CZcams channel
Dude, love this channel!
Beautiful video man
Brilliant story and great visuals. 💯
This was beautiful man
You're a true true TRUE blessing I've never listened to the album I've heard bad reviews but after this I'm encouraged to go listen to it
Yeah me too, I listened to it once very shortly but it was a bit too overwhelming and weird for me. This insight about the meaning will change the way it will sound for me I think
Super underrated video, this deserves to be viewed by more people
I'm really grateful for this 'cause this more like education. You making me pay more attention to my music and others too. Respek Dissect
I love you and everything you do so much. Forever and always ❤️ Keep making the best content (:
ye is an absolute artist. very few can compare.
Idk about that
Sway did indeed have the answers
Greatest artist of the 21st century
I hated this album in 2013, boy did this grow on me ❤❤
First Kanye album I caught in real-time, loved it when I heard it, love it even more now. Truly, his magnum opus, truly.
Sampling is by far the most amazing thing in contemporary music
