Examples of Kanye West making us hear lyrics that weren't actually in the sample

Posted: 05 Apr 2020 11:08 PM PDT

Though not the only one to do this, I don't think any producers have come anywhere close to Kanye when it comes to tricking us into hearing different lyrics in the sample than are actually being sung. Here are some of the best examples and a link to my full post with the original samples: https://www.unspottedmusic.com/music/which-one

"Through the fire" is actually "Through the wire"

In Late, "I'll be late for that" is actually "I'll erase away"

In Roses, "I smile when Roses come to see me" is actually "I smile when Rosie comes to see me"

"30 hours" is actually "where the islands go" < probably the weirdest one that somehow works

"Drunk and hot girls" is actually "Drunken hot ghost"

*This post on my music blog that I launched today shows all the original samples. If you're interested in more sample history like this please consider subscribing to my newsletter there.

[Potential Shots Fired?] 88Glam may have left XO or been kicked out of XO, potentially split up themselves, and their upcoming album release is looking questionable.

A lot of this is speculation, but so much has happened this week that idk... Here's the timeline from the last few days:

Republic/XO dropped 88Glam completely. (88Glam not listed under either Republic or XO's website)
88Glam isn't touring with The Weeknd anymore (evident)
XO members unfollowed both Mino and Derek
Derek/Mino/Official Glam Account started unfollowing everyone from XO as well.
Glam changed their instagram handle from 88GlamXO to 88Glam
Derek and Mino unfollowed each other, and now Mino has deleted his Instagram (This was after Mino did a live and seemed pretty upset during it. A lot of fans were asking if him and Derek/XO were alright.)
Derek doesn't have 88Glam in his bio anymore, and all recent 88Glam album stuff is gone off their grams

Some other random tidbits:

2 days ago 88Glam posted "Cookin" on their official instagram, which doesn't make sense as their album is supposed to be done.
Cash posted on his official Instagram "Nav next on the agenda", and fans speculated this means he's skipping 88Glam's album. Also have seen no recent promotion for Glam from Cash.

credit to r/88glam and /u/IceOnMyLeash for most of this information.
