What does Kanye West have to do with Chaka Kahn? Why is he paying tribute with that poster at the end of the "To The Wire" video?

"Through the wire" is birthed out of Chaka's 1984 ballad "Through the fire" they are both also from Chicago.... I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.

See! Now isn't it great that he put that Chaka pic on the end of his video? Just goes to show sampling is a sincere tribute to the originals. | |

I'm probably one of the oldest guys on here! I just saw the end of the video on mtv 2 last night, and the audio was turned down, so I just saw him with the chaka poster.... didn't even think of the sped up sample, but now that I remember the actual song...

Alot of the tracks Kanye's produced are samples...
The song w/ Twista is a Luther Vandross "Still In Love" sample. I'm glad he gave her credit though. | |
