"Black Skinhead" came out of nowhere for me. This SNL performance happened a couple weeks ago, but I was driving home this past Friday and Gary Glitter's "Rock n' Roll" came on Hot97...what? While I was stoked, I was still confused...then Kanye kicked in and I vaguely remember hearing about this sample usage.
But hearing the SNL performance, I can't hear the sample truly. It sounds more like Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus," but Marilyn Manson's version. A sample of a sample. Though the most confirmed truth is it's a sample of Glitter, which works for me either way. I was excited because on one of the 'Metal Evolution' series, Scott Ian said something to the effect like where else can nu-metal go? Hip hop and industrial...sounding pretty damn innovative here.
I'm actually going to buy this album because after hearing "Send It Up" played today...dude.
