The part that Jamie Foxx sings in "Gold Digger" is based on "I Got A Woman" by Ray Charles. MTV.com Road To The Grammys: The Making Of Kanye West's 'Gold Digger' http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1522995/20060201/west_kanye.jhtml "The idea to make Jamie Foxx a part of "Gold Digger," which had initially used a sample of Ray Charles' "I Got a Woman," came after West went to see "Ray" with his friend John Mayer." You can hear a clip of "I Got a Woman" by Ray Charles at the following link: Amazon.com The Very Best of Ray Charles http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004R5ZP/qid=1143599857/sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_4/104-0531796-5999955?s=music&v=glance&n=5174 Although I like Kanye West and Jamie Foxx, I must say, I prefer the original.

"Touch the sky" uses the sample by Curtis mayfield "Move on up" and Drive slow also uses a sample but I'm not sure what, a friend pointed it out to me while we listening to it, and Tupac also used the sample in a song called "Shorty wanna be a thug" |

I have just found out the name of the sample for Drive slow and it is Hank Crawford "Wildflower" |
