This vid has been making the rounds for a couple of months now, but I feel compelled to share it here anyways. Hip-hop is a genre that's built upon sampling, and while I could go into the issues surrounding the use of samples, this video is about comparing the original to the sampled product. It shows the original sound-bits that Kanye West used in his songs, followed by his own rendition/usage of the sounds. It's really neat to see how these songs emerged. I also find it's really eye-opening, in terms of the work/thought/talent it takes to do this sort of thing. I know Kanye has an annoying ego, but it's still undeniable that he does neat things.
