this news is 3 years late but I was listening to Aphex Twin's Drukqs for the first time in like 15 years and heard this piano part that I recognized from a Kanye West Song. I googled it to make sure and Kanye just tried to steal it without giving credit.
"Is it a sample? I actually don't know what it ended up being in the end, I'm so slack. I know that he tried to fucking rip me off and claim that he'd written it, and they tried to get away with not paying. I was really helpful, and when they first sent it to me, I was like, “Oh, I can re-do that for you, if you like,’ because they'd sampled it really badly and time-stretched it and there was loads of artifacts. I was like, ‘I'll just replay it for you at that speed if you want.” And they totally didn't even say “hello” or “thanks,” they just replied with, “It's not yours, it's ours, and we're not even asking you any more.”
