About This Sample

Syl Johnson's raw, funky soul groove — one of the most sampled records in hip-hop — provided the backbone of 'We Don't Care.' Kanye looped the infectious horn riff and layered children's voices over it, creating a deceptively joyful opening track that masked sharp social commentary about drug dealing as survival.
