About This Sample

Wu-Tang Clan's reflective track from their legendary debut — built on a Gladys Knight sample — represented RZA's lo-fi soul-chopping production style that directly influenced Kanye's early work. Its presence in the Vultures sessions nods to the production lineage that runs from Staten Island's basement studios to Kanye's chipmunk-soul era.
