Every Song Kanye West Ever Sampled: Full List Here

Kanye West is the ultimate sampler. Often taking somewhat unknown songs and blowing them out of the water with his production skills. With the exception of Michael Jackson’s P.Y.T. (the basis for his hot song Good Life), most of the songs became popular after he touched them.
