About This Sample
Otis Redding's legendary soul performance was chopped and looped by Kanye into a frenetic, triumphant instrumental for 'Otis.' The sample is used in its raw, unmanipulated form — a deliberate flex showing that the source material was so powerful it needed no pitch-shifting or processing, just surgical editing to create a new groove.
