About This Sample

Steely Dan's jazz-rock opus featuring Larry Carlton's legendary guitar solo was sampled for 'Champion.' Kanye isolated the triumphant guitar lick and built an anthemic track around it, turning Becker and Fagen's wry character study of an acid dealer into a motivational stadium chant.
