      I remember he had a Gucci bucket hat on. I remember it like, like it was yesterday. And Hiphop said
      “Yo play that one beat for him” and I played “Otis” […] and I remember that gucci bucket, he took it and like put it over his face and made one of them faces like ‘OOOOOOOOOOH’.

      @@thibhan98yeah I can buy this. After TCD, Ye started working with other producers heavily and it’s only grown since then. The simplicity of this beat and the precision of the chops scream of Kanye’s sampling sensibilities

  • @maxlimit9129
    @maxlimit9129 Рік тому +530

    Fun fact: the stems for this song leaked a little while ago, and the beat only consists of the sample chop and the 808. Kanye made it in 15 minutes, and when you see the stems it's not hard to see how it was a 15 minute beat. Sometimes, all you need is the perfect chop.
