Stevie Wonder's innovative use of the talk box — one of his many technological experiments during his classic 70s period — was sampled on BULLY. The vocoder-like vocal effects presaged the Auto-Tune era by decades, making this sample a conceptual bridge between Wonder's analog experimentation and Kanye's digital vocal processing.
