its the 13th track down and its called "Diamonds".Click on the song title to listen to the song...

post what you think.

[Moonraker]

I've already downloaded it. Its ok, DAF works good into the song, but I like hip-hop so.

[CommanderBond]

i agree its not that bad but i think he could have stuck to the topic of DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER a little bit more...

[Righty007]

Cool but I'm not able to listen to it at that site...

[CommanderBond]

if you have a music downloader it goes under the same title...

[Dunph]

Hmm, I think I like it. Not sure if I consider it rape or not though yet. I think I'll try dropping it in my next set and see how people react to it. Could be a dance floor killer.

I wonder what sort of clearance he had to go through.

[Righty007]

I would really like to hear this song. Anybody know of a different site with the song?

They obviously hate the Diamonds Are Forever song to treat it like that.

Not j/k.

[TGO]

Jeeeeeeeeeez, Blofeld. Tell us what you REALLY think.

I find it better done than Mantronix mix, a few years back.

It's called sampling, get used to it.

I love the track. I think it's fresh, has a great sound and is a surely destined to become a hip-hop favourite. Impressive stuff.

[SPECTRE ASSASSIN]

Kanye West has been one of my favorite hip-hop artists, and he succeeds in this new single!

[Jaws0178]

Some people just don't like every thing that people put out. I'm sure some people who lived in the early 90's and listened to pop of that era remember a song called "Toy Soldiers" by Martika.Well, lets flash forward about, oh say, to now. Eminem made a song called Toy Soldiers and sampled, you guessed it, Martika's Toy Soldiers. Just heard the beginning of it, I don't know yet. Thought I had downloaded the original. Guess not when I heard Kanye. It's all a matter of taste.

In law school, we called it "copyright infringement" or "larceny" or "plagiarism".

I'm anything but a music snob, but I really crap on sampling from a great height. Come up with something original, for God's sake, instead of completely relying on the creativity of one's forerunners. Listening to the track that plays incessantly on the radio nowadays, the one that "samples" Spandau Ballet's "True", I get angry every time.

Lame.

[Jaws0178]

Hearing the whole thing now. So far, I kinda agree with Blofelds Cat. Okay, final opinion. It has it's good points, but it gets kinda repetitive.

[Blofeld's Cat]

I'm used to sampling and I really like some that are in the marketplace, but this....this...crap is just crap!

But I'm not a fan of hip-hop and rap, anyway (if you hadn't already guessed).

Lame.

I think you'll find that the artists who sample pay a little thing called royalties to the original artist. Oh, and they also have to get the rights and permission to use the sample in the first place. Hardly "copyright infringement" or "larceny" or "plagiarism".

[Bon-san]

I was being facetious. I just abhor sampling. Call me an old fuddy-duddy.

[Blofeld's Cat]

I understand what you mean Bon-san, but the world is becoming a totally unoriginal place now, what with all the song samplings and movie remakes happening these days.

Noticed some other sites had this though.

[Jeff007]

At first, I didn't like it at all. I thought it really butchered Shirley Bassey's song. But then after listening to it more, I began to like the lyrics and felt it was a pretty good track. Can't wait to hear it at the clubs.

[Qwerty]

Can't wait to hear it at the clubs.

That'd be something.

You know that would involve leaving the house?

Another talentless rapper sampling an existing song because he can't come up with anything original.
