RaptorQuiz Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 I thought it was pretty impressive. And I happen to LIKE Daft Punk. Apparently so does Kanye West... since most people have NO CLUE that Daft Punk did that song and Kanye just ripped it off. Like most rappers.

I think the only way a person could pull that off is if they were high, bored and locked in a closet with a sharpy and CD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaptorQuiz Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Well done sir. Good find. Finally someone else that seems amused by this. I found it pretty entertaining for multiple reasons. Especially since I have such atrocious finger-dexterity I can't even do Dane Cook's "SuFi" (super finger). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanye didn't rip it off - on the contrary, he actually asked Daft Punk if he could do it and they said yes, they were even in the video for Kanye's "Stronger". However, that video ******* ruled. Yes, whoever made it probably had far too much time (and ink) on their hands, but that would be a seriously cool party trick. And the track is awesome too, which helps.

Wrong. They were the actors from their film, Electroma. Looks like them though. Daft Punk has really been on their grind for the past two years touring and the funny thing is they never advertised anything, it's just been through word of mouth, but those guys are friggin creative. Among the songs sampled by those guys, the track "Touch It" comes to mind, as the sample was taken from one of their songs, "Stronger" as well. With that said, you guys have to see Interstella 5555.

Hory Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I thought Kanye was an outright thief, blatantly stealing their hook for his track, but then I found out that the "original" Daft Punk track is a total rip-off of an even older song, Edwin Birdsong - Cola Bottle Baby.

The use and clearance for the samples of "I Love You More" (Digital Love), "Cola Bottle Baby" (HBFS), "Can You Imagine" (Crescendolls) and "Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed" (Superheroes) are documented in the 2001 Discovery album liner notes. There's a difference between blatantly stealing a hook or a line from a track a la Vanilla Ice, and giving credit where credit is due i.e. Kanye West with "Stronger", Swiss Beats with "Touch It", and Daft Punk with the aforementioned tracks. A lot of their work on the Discovery album is sampled but rather than simply creating new music out of the samples (Kanye West), Daft Punk actually worked with the samples by writing and adding instrumental performances.

Hory Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 The fact is Daft Punk took the track and added the "harder, faster stronger, whatever" sample over the top. Some real creative genius was needed there. I have nothing against samples per se, but most of Kanye's "work" and this particular DP track are on the side of blatant thievery rather than clever sampling. When the reason a track is popular is because of a hook stolen from another song, I think that is going over the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the reason a track is popular is because of a hook stolen from another song, I think that is going over the line. Blatant thievery? What? They got clearance of a sample and the built on top of that instead of creating a track around the sample like West did and does with a lot of his music. I don't see where the sample is "stolen". There's a difference between taking a sample without clearance and claiming as your own work as opposed to obtaining permission to use it and building on it. Again, I use Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" for example, as he stole the entire bassline from David Bowie and Queen's "Under Pressure". Ice claimed that he owed no royalties for sampling "Under Pressure", citing one minor alteration to the bass line. With that said, the Discovery album is heavily sampled because they had that in mind for that album, as said by one of the members of the group: This album has a lot to do with our childhood and the memories of the state we were in at that stage of our lives. It's about our personal relationship to that time. It's less of a tribute to the music from 1975 to 1985 as an era, and more about focusing on the time when we were zero to ten years old. When you're a child you don't judge or analyze music. You just like it because you like it. You're not concerned with whether it's cool or not. Sometimes you might relate to just one thing in a song, such as the guitar sound. This album takes a playful, fun, and colorful look at music. It's about the idea of looking at something with an open mind and not asking too many questions. It's about the true, simple, and honest relationship you have with music when you're open to your own feelings. http://remixmag.com/mag/remix_robopop/ He also stated the sampling they did for the album is legitimately done, not something they try to hide like a lot of producers.

Kccitystar Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 You've misunderstood "blatant thievery", I was meaning it in a musical sense, not legal. The samples that were used have always been cleared and it’s very blatant. There [are] hardly any credits on Human After All, except in the case of “Robot Rock†there is a sample of Breakwater.....I think sampling is always something that we’ve completely legitimately done. It’s not something we’ve hidden, it’s almost a partisan or ideological way of making music, sampling things and being sampled. http://www.thedailyswarm.com/swarm/daft-pu...-list-not-true/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
