In 2010 Kanye West sampled Manfred Mann’s Earth Band's You Are I Am on his record A Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, creating one of the year's stand-out hip hop records So Appalled, featuring Jay Z, and Pusha T on vocals.
Manfred then 're-sampled' the sample to create a new track, enlisting hot new UK artist Caitlyn Scarlett for her vocal skills and mixing Kanye’s stripped-out beat with some trademark Mann synth; a new hip hop fusion is born.
If you thought the synths were beautiful on So Appalled you would really enjoy the resample.
There is also this version which appears on Manfred Mann’s album Lone Arranger
That’s dope. Love when artists that get sampled respect the artistry
