Kanye West’s Late Registration celebrates its 10-year anniversary Sunday (August 30). To honor the award-winning album, The Grammys created an infographic detailing the samples used on the project.
The graphic shows 11 of the 21 tracks from the album.
“Gold Digger” samples Ray Charles’ “I’ve Got a Woman” from 1954. This is connected to “Addiction” because “Addiction” samples “My Funny Valentine” by Etta James, who covered “In The Evening,” which was originally Charles’ song.
Late Registrationsampled seven music genres across the span of 41 years.
