Talk:Power (Kanye West song)

5000 hours claim
This kind of seems impossible. 5000 hours of work equates to 210 continuous days. For one song? Maybe this was a misquote or something. Racro 16 (talk) 04:45, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Cover
Kanye West posted a cover art for the 'Power' on his new blog (kanyewest.com). Could someone put into this page, please? Don't know how to do it.

S1
Why is there so much crap about S1? like anyone really cares. STAT -Verse 05:52, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

For your information there is a Singer on this track doing the Chant throughout the song by the Name of Alvin Fields. For reference you should check the following web page: http://www.protoolsmixing.com/credits.html or contact Def Jam Records exec: Ian Allen for accurate label credit information. Fact: The Actual Continent Number 6 sample was never cleared by the producer, Jean Louis Detry, so Def Jam records contacted the original singer Alvin Fields, Lead and Backround Vocalist on the original "Afromerica" track, and contracted him to re-record the Chant for "Power" so's that the song could be released for commercial sale.

Sample Clearance?
I'm surprised the article makes no mention that there was controversy around the lack of clearance for the King Crimson sample, resulting in a protracted dispute. (See ) Is it relevant enough that it should be included in the article? JoeJJC (talk) 21:41, 7 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The article doesnt say anything about a controversy, just that the clearance was overdue after the song became viral, which doesnt seem illegal, as it wasnt an official release for profit anything like that. West and the dude eventually met. If it had become a notable issue, then the coverage wouldve probably been larger and would have been included in the article by now. It's just an interview by a prog rock artist. Dan56 (talk) 22:23, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi JoeJJC,
 * I edited your comment, removing a short statement that violates WP:BLP, per WP:BLP.
 * For the record: Fripp has not "quit music": He has stopped earning his living as a professional musician, but plays publicly (often in churches) and with colleagues and in Guitar Craft. Kiefer  .Wolfowitz  13:59, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that some mention should be made of the belated request and its being granted, which has been reported in reliable sources, like TFT. Kiefer  .Wolfowitz  14:01, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

They ... who only stand and wait
"When I consider how my light is spent    Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,      And that one talent which is death to hide,    Lodg'd with me useless, though my soul more bent    To serve therewith my Maker, and present      My true account, lest He, returning, chide;      Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?    I fondly ask: but Patience, to prevent    That murmur, soon replies, God doth not need      Either man's work, or His own gifts; who best      Bear His mild yoke, they serve Him best; His state    Is kingly; thousands at His bidding speed,      And post o'er land and ocean without rest;      They also serve who only stand and wait."

- John Milton
