a whole lot of the guitar on the song, particularly the lead guitar on the chorus, is definitely re-played and not directly sampled. would love to hear the crazy Ernie Isley phase shifter guitar tone on the track but it might sound really messed up and out of place, for better or worse, on a modern track.

really dug "i" and the unnamed colbert song that might not go anywhere but this is def the best of the new tracks so far

all three of these tracks are fucking incredible, though "i" is still head and shoulders above most anything, ever
where's a ratanuki when you need one?

The electric guitar that appears on top of it all in the chorus is most definitely not an Isley sample. The other guitar parts are a sample.

apparently it's this:Brother Ali@BrotherAliI'm on an indie record label. I know the difference between self made online content and a corporate level media campaign.and:Brother Ali@BrotherAliA lot of theories on who's really behind ISIS and that's above my pay grade to weigh in on, but there's something very surreal about them.
