So we all know that Kanye owned 50 Cent (50 Cent Cancels Europe Tour). Graduation is amazing not just because Kanye sampled Steely Dan – Kid Charlemagne, Michael Jackson – P.Y.T. and had Jon Brion, Timbaland AND Daft Punk produce a track but because he sampled Can. He isn’t the first rapper to do so, Kurupt sampled Can’s most famous song “Vitamin C” on his track “Stalkin” but Kanye uses the hook so well on “Drunk and Hot Girls”.

Daft Punk & Kanye

Let’s all show some love and respect to Can since “All roads do lead to, Can.” Even Erol Alkan spins some Can related music on his BBC6 mix, Holger Czukay, Jah Wobble & Liebezeit – How Much Are They?

And here is an amazing cover of Can by Radiohead.
Radiohead – The Thief (Can Cover off, Delay 1968)

Everyone should check out Erol Alkan’s BBC6 mix courtsey of Kidz By Colette.

Erol Alkan – BBC 6 Mix

He spins some ill tracks like Sparks – Tryouts for the Human Race and Selda – Ince Ince Bir Kar Yagar who Oh No samples on his first track, “Heavy” off of his new album Dr. No’s Oxperiment. You should all check out Oh No’s new album on Stone’s Throw Records

. FYI Oh No is Madlib’s younger brother. There is some awesome musical talent running in that family.

Be easy.
