WhoSampled guest mix: "Kanye West The Samples"

Originally put together as a guest mix for www.mixcloud.com/WhoSampled and posted on their Mixcloud page back in June to coincide with the release of Kanye's 'Yeezus' album, this mix has clocked up over 10,000 plays over on their page. Here's what they had to say about it at the time:

"As Yeezus fever grips the internet ahead of tomorrow's official release of Kanye's electronic opus, we thought it a perfect opportunity to review some of the source material that has made Kanye consistently one of our site's most popular artists. With a nod to the quirky sources of the forthcoming Yeezus and the trademark vocal chops of Cruel Summer, we revisit the early years of the Soul on 45 sound that made his debut LP a timeless classic and reference his wholesale reworkings of classics from the likes Curtis Mayfield, Ray Charles, Otis Redding and others: A whistle-stop tour of some of our favourite moments in the career of the poster boy for contemporary popular sample based Hip Hop."
