Gold Digger is like homage, it is not theft because Kanye credited and paid. Ray Charles and then got the sample, and then he further turned it into something new just like Ray Charles did with the gospel song.

Gold digger felt like kind of a propaganda. It takes I got a woman and turns it into a song about how woman can be toxic in his eyes. #hwa3 #sampling

I would say that Kanye does neither theft or homage. It seems more neutral and kind of gives the original sample his own twist. He takes what exists and gives it a different representation. #hwa3 #sampling

#hwa3 #sampling going back to the idea of seeing the past clearly and the future blurry, i would say it was a secret third option of using something familiar as a mechanism to digest something new. we cant live in the past forever, new things will always come. its part of putting yourself out there

I think it feels like homage because he must have chosen to use that song because he thought it was catchy and admired it, although he might have gotten more credit for his song he still brought attention to the song he sampled. #hwa3 #sampling

I think it is a homage, it’s taking something that existed before and introducing new reality into it. maybe some lyrics are too much, but that’s the music world we live in now, and it was just mixed with the rhythm of gospel music #hwa3 #sampling

I would say that he kind of made it in his own way, like yes, it did sound the same, and I think, but he made it into his own style that fit into this new generation instead of the last two which fit in their old generation

I felt like Kanye's song was theft to a certain degree. It felt like theft in that he used Ray Charles' and Bob King's music style for his own to adapt to his own audience. However, I do not think it was with ill intention. #hwa3 #sampling

I felt that Kanye West's song wasn't really theft or homage (maybe a little of homage?). I think he actually liked the beat of Ray's song and decided to twist it, make it his taste #hwa3 #sampling

i feel like Kanye's version is something different with a tad bit of homage to the versions before it. but it is not theft as it feels totally different, hense it is something different #hwa3 #sampling

#hwa3 #sampling homage... Kayne is admiring gold diggers and praising them for wanting someone with money

It’s a mixture of recognition of the old music and expressing his own idea through it. #hwa3 #sampling

I feel like it’s his way of interpreting art of music. He didn’t completely steal it as his own work so it’s not theft for me. It’s also not homage since he has his own understanding and adding rap that fits in today’s contexts. #hwa3 #sampling

Kanye West's "Gold Digger," to me, feels like something completely different. Sure you can say theft, just because he sampled the previous songs, but because of the song's topic and way he presents it, it is something of its own league. #hwa3 #sampling

I think Kayne's piece is an entirely new thing. Obviously the sampling has some degree of 'theft' but I truly think the concepts and style makes it very much his own. his production is what makes it so special and different. #hwa3 #sampling

#hwa3 #sampling Kanye's "Gold digger" feels like an homage to Ray Charles' song because in the same way Ray Charles took a traditional Gospel style and used it to sing about modern (for his time) culture, Kanye West does the same and uses older traditions and flips them around to modernize them

#hwa3 #sampling As long as he had permission to use the backgrond its fine. The song slapps.
