Video: Samples by Kanye West

In December 2008, I watched a video featuring Kanye West’s samples on 808’s & Heartbreaks, College Dropout, Late Registration and Graduation. It was hard for me to compile a list of the songs featured in the video but thankfully, with an instant Google search, I came upon Kevin Nottingham’s website.

According to Kevin, Kanye West has sampled 79 tracks throughout his entire career. The bulk of the songs are from the 1970’s and have appeared on Kanye’s albums and songs that Kanye produced for other artist.

“Two of this site’s top articles to this day are Kanye West: The Samples, Part 1 and Kanye West: The Samples, Part 2. Well you can scrap those links and bookmark this post right here. Those two posts are consistently in this blog’s top ten daily and the majority of my referrers are from people doing a search for “Kanye West samples”. I decided to make it a little easier and put them all in one compilation. Yes, ALL OF THEM. Well, not quite. We have 79 of Kanye’s samples that he has used throughout his career. The only samples that we chose to leave off are the samples from College Dropout, Late Registration,Graduation, Common’s Be, and Common’s Finding Forever. They would have just made the compilation too long, but you can download those separately. This set of Kanye West samples is 462 MB! It took Thomas and I quite some time to compile these, even though we already had most of the samples. Feel free to add to this list in the comments.

In addition to the album sample sets we put out, we’ll be putting a few of these producer sample sets together from time to time. These, obviously, will not be as frequent as they do take a lot of time to compile. But be on the look out for producer sample sets from Timbaland, Just Blaze, DJ Premier, and Pete Rock in the coming months!”
