Before football games I'd listen to DMX followed by the speech Al Pacino gives in Any Given Sunday followed by Down Bottom from Ryde or Die Vol. 1 (Drag-On was such a beast).
lol I did the same thing but would sometimes mix in the Braveheart speech (even though I wasn't playing for my freedom).

One night in college a few friends and myself had a fantastic time going through a ton of Kanye tracks from albums and mixtapes and looking up/downloading all the original songs that he sampled. That was fantastic. I wish I saved all of those.

I did that with MBDTF when it first came out. He finds some crazy stuff.

This was still pretty early, so it was mostly like old soul and funky stuff. I guess this was around 2007 or 2008 so he still had a ways to go with new releases but the mixtape stuff was awesome. There was a site (likely still is, somewhere) that had most of the original samples listed with the songs they were used on. Had a great time looking them up and even better time listening to them and picking out the parts we could recognize. But in general, it was just awesome music that we were introduced to.
I really hope he doesn't change much. I personally loved the two tracks I've heard. Hopefully this is just taken out of context or he finds a way to balance the two sides out.
Recorded primarily in Paris, and featuring collaborations with No I.D., RZA, Thomas Bangalter of French electronic duo Daft Punk, Skrillex, Young Chop, Chief Keef, Travis Scott, King L, Tyler, the Creator, Frank Ocean, John Legend, James Blake, and many more.

Review of his Governor's Ball set and some info about new tracks/things he said about the album:
NEW YORK -- Kanye West opened and closed his headlining set at the Governors Ball Music Festival on Sunday night (June 9) with the high-octane Yeezus track "Black Skinhead," and in between that he delivered everything from classics like "All Falls Down," to three brand-new tracks from his upcoming sixth solo LP.
While Mr. West is known for his elaborate stage shows, which he displayed during performances of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy last year, the tone of this set was much darker and more intense than usual. During "Black Skinhead," the large stage screens flashed with images of ferocious barking dogs, "not for sale" signs and even menacing figures in black masks resembling KKK garb, as Kanye emerged in a studded black leather jacket and his all-red Air Yeezy 2's, wailing into the microphone and head banging through the song.
"New Slaves" followed with the same level of intensity but then things lightened up considerably with "Mercy." Since he had no guests in tow, Kanye simply delivered his own verse, before continuing to "Cold" and then performing a brand new song from Yeezus being billed as "On Site" which has a very heavy electronic influence.
After playing an extended version of "Power" and taking a short break from the stage, the crowd took a pause from their "Yeezus" chants to sing happy birthday to Kanye instead, as he'd celebrated his 36th birthday the previous night (in the company of Nas and Jay-Z). When he returned to the spotlight, he relocated to another stage in the middle of the crowd, where he would perform another new Yeezus cut "I Am God," spitting ferociously, "Until the day I get struck by lightning I am a god."
As he continued with "Jesus Walks," "Flashing Lights" and "Heartless" (which turned out to be the crowd's favorite sing-a-long of the night) it seemed possible that Kanye might actually perform a full set without slipping in one of his signature rants (see: "I Ain't No Mother ----ing Celebrity") but there's no way he was going to let that happen. "This is the part of the show where I start complaining about sh-- and justifying sh---," he told the crowd laughing, after delivering his verse on "Clique." But this time he noted that he was simply happy to be performing.
Though his much anticipated album Yeezus is due on June 18, Kanye has not officially released a single from the album or done any corporate promotion around it, and apparently that's just what he wanted. "We ain't drop no single to radio. We ain't got no big NBA campaign or nothing like that--Sh-- we ain't even got no cover," he told the crowd, referring to the very minimal cover art for Yeezus. "We just made some real music."
He recalled earlier days in his career when the label would force him to hold an album until the "right moment" in order to generate the most sales and radio play, but for 'Ye, those days are long gone, along with any desire to make hits just for the airwaves. "When I listen to radio, that ain't where I wanna be no more," he declared. "And honestly, at this point I can give a f--- about selling a million records, as long as I put out an album y'all can rock to all summer." This bit was met with cheers, and maybe to balance out the strong words, his next choice was "Good Life," before launching into yet another new song, which sounded more like house than hip-hop, asking the crowd, "Ya'll f--- with that new music?"
Ye's final numbers of the night included his full verse on Rihanna's "Diamonds (remix)" and "Runaway," before he closed the show with an encore performance of "Black Skinhead."
"It’s only led me to complete awesomeness at all times. It’s only led me to awesome truth and awesomeness. Beauty, truth, awesomeness. That’s all it is. "
That is easily the best interview any human has ever given.
I remember when both Gnarls Barkley and Justin [Timberlake] lost for Album of the Year, and I looked at Justin, and I was like: “Do you want me to go onstage for you? You know, do you want me to fight”
So on inforoo, You like the biggest dousche bag of all time, but hate 311. I'm really hoping this is a joke thread. HIS ALBUM IS CALLED YEEZUS FOR GOD SAKE.
