Ehhh...just report it...

Shouldn't the credits for this read: Kanye West feat. Jay-Z, Curtis Mayfield etc. Watch the Throne wasn't released in 2010.

Ugh...copyright... >_>

How'd Danger Mouse get away with it?

Idk, man but if you read the link Syl Johnson's sued quite a few cats before. This link has more info and a pretty funny tweet @ Kanye and Jay adressing the issue lol

Now, I'm kinda confused. This site's has 75 instances of this song being sampled, with probably about two dozen of those needing his permission after Grand Upright Music, Ltd. v. Warner Bros. Records Inc. Why deny Kanye and Jay-Z? It would've meant more money in his pocket, anyway...

BroughtTheNoise said on Sunday, 23 October 2011:
Yeah, it was explicitly stated in the linear notes of Watch the Throne's Deluxe Edition...kinda ballsy considering he said no almost a year ago...

Awwww, s***....I think here's why. LOL and all the "I hope we don't start getting e-mails about Jay and Kanye..."

There's so many vocal samples that sound like "Different Strokes". I think it would've been up here by now...

BroughtTheNoise said on Saturday, 22 October 2011:
"Different Strokes" by Syl Johnson. Not sure about a "third" sample, though...

This features Jay-Z and Pete Rock as well. Whoever moderated this forgot to add them. Who knows the other two samples in this???
