Chaka Khan: 'Through The Wire' Was Garbage

[Goldie]

"Then when it came out, [she mocks the high-pitched chorus]. I was pissed," she said. "It was a little insulting. Not insulting, I thought it was stupid! If I'd known he was gonna do that, I would have said, 'Hell no.'" She admitted that she never told him that she didn't like "Through the Wire," but she believes her silence toward him has said enough. Yikes.

 

[SeaSnake]

Lol I bet it’s a whole slew of old heads who feel the same

 

[5 Grand]

She has a point. The vocals are sped up.

I bet when he called her she was thinking that somebody would re-sing the chorus.

 

[Chi-Town B]

She's right

 

[genocide_cutter]

Well thats her. i loved it

 

[DMorgan]

I wonder what Chaka Khan looks like without make-up cause with make-up she looks like she has aged very well. We all know for a lot of people when the make-up comes off they look like a totally different person.

 

[AP2.5]

Kanye was the king of the soul sample

you knew what you were getting

and i bet Chaka wasnt mad at them checks that came from him not only sampling it, but people going back to listen to the work if they were unfamiliar with the sample

 

[Goldie]

In 2003? Nobody knew who kanye was, I doubt she knew what she was getting.


But I agree, i doubt she cares how trash she thinks the song is when the checks come in.

Here's the inner sleeve from her first album. If you look at the picture in the middle left, you can tell she had a fat ass when she was younger

 

[Qawshun]

If kanye wasn't on his fuckery would she feel that way ?? Cause when she did that wack performance.. never mind. That's my joint

 

[Chicity]

I don't believe for a sec this has anything to do with the music but whatever

Sucks she feels as if he ruined what she did but I don't so it is what it is

 

[Hater Hearst Helmsley]

Shit is a banger but she’s entitled to her opinion lol

:pathetic:

 

[King Freeman]

True dat. True dat.

 

[Lion_Heart]

I respect Chaka but the way Kanye sampled and sped it up was dope.

 

[5 Grand]

I can kinda understand why she thinks he butchered her song, but I liked it when it came out.

 

[CeLLar-DooR]

It's a classic single imo but if you're into music properly like theory and that than the sped up samples sound cheap

 

[5th Letter]

I thought she performed the song with him

 

[ChicagoFigure]

Could just be she was too disconnected to respect the sped soulful sound that was beginning to trend in hip hop

It wasnt for her tho
