About This Sample
Otis Redding's mournful 'Gone Away' was chopped and rearranged for 'Gone' on Late Registration. Kanye and Consequence rode the melancholy vocal fragments to explore themes of lost relationships, using Redding's raw emotional delivery as shorthand for a kind of pain that rap verses alone could not convey.
