Kanye west new slaves sample

You're referring to the controversy surrounding Kanye West's song "New Slaves"!

"New Slaves" is a song by Kanye West, featuring additional vocals from Frank Ocean, from his 2013 album "Yeezus". The song features a sample of the 1993 song "Get Out of My Life, Woman" by Lee Dorsey, which was written by Allen Toussaint.

However, the controversy surrounding the song was not about the sample, but rather the lyrics and the music video. The song's lyrics, which include the lines "We ain't got nothin' to lose, we're just tryna get some more" and "We tryna get some more, we tryna get some more", were interpreted by some as glorifying slavery and perpetuating racism.

The music video, which premiered on May 30, 2013, was also criticized for its depiction of slavery and racism. The video features images of slavery, police brutality, and other forms of oppression, and was seen by some as perpetuating negative stereotypes about African Americans.

Kanye West was criticized by many for the song and its lyrics, with some accusing him of being insensitive and tone-deaf. The song was also criticized by some for its perceived lack of nuance and complexity, with some arguing that it oversimplified the issue of racism and slavery.

Despite the controversy, "New Slaves" was widely praised by many for its bold and unapologetic lyrics, and its music video was seen by many as a powerful commentary on the ongoing struggles of African Americans.
