The big picture is easy. It doesn't take an intense investigation to realize that 'Pop Style' is a surprisingly boring song for a line-up that prolific, it's easy to point out that Drake's 'Chaining Tatum' line was groan worthy. But I'm always fascinated in the small details, the things you only pick up after the first or tenth or one-hundredth listen.
I just found a street fighter sound pack. Discuss how to use FL Studio. Return to “FL Studio Users Forum (Looptalk)”. New Kanye West song samples Street Fighter 2 sounds II. I heard 'Perfect', 'Sonic Boom', and 'Yoga Flame'. REDDIT and the ALIEN Logo are registered trademarks. Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (Japanese: ストリートファイターⅡ -The World Warrior-?) is a competitive fighting game originally released for the arcades in 1991. It is the second entry in the Street Fighter series and the arcade sequel to the original Street Fighter released in 1987. That’s because Kanye actually sampled Street Fighter II (as is tradition for rap artists, by this point). Yep, That's Street Fighter On Kanye West's New Album. You can spot Street.

In other words, it's official, Kanye West tagging his verses with the Street Fighter 'perfect' sample is officially a thing. 99% of of you may have stopped reading right there, that's fine, this just isn't for you. This is for the remaining 1% of my fellow obsessive rap nerds. Don't kill our vibe.
When Kanye's 'Facts (Charlie Heat Version)' verse started and ended with a Street Fighter sample I assumed it was a one time thing, a cool small touch that referred to making it through a Street Fighter match without being hit once. Frankly, at first I assumed it was an addition from Charlie Heat, not Kanye. And then when I finally heard The Life of Pablo I noticed the same 'Perfect' sample at the beginning on his 'Pt. 2' verse, which was produced by Kanye and a host of others, not Charlie Heat. So maybe it was Yeezy's new production tag?
And then I heard 'Pop Style' and guess what we hear right after Kanye's verse ends? That's right, you guessed it.
Oh shit! Are we witnessing the birth of a Kanye verse tag? I'm used to producer tags, I'm used to rapper ad-libs, but while I'm probably missing an obvious example, I'm hard pressed to think of any rappers who consistently tag their verses with a sample. The closest thing that comes to mind is Rick Ross' occasional use of the MMG drop before his verses, like on the recent 'Layers,' but Ross doesn't do it consistently, and that's just the same MMG tag he uses all the time, it's not verse specific.
I haven't been able to get behind a lot of what Kanye's done over the last couple months, but I'm legitimately fascinated by this and will be listening closely to every Kanye verse from now on. It's the big things that make you like hip-hop, it's the smallest details that make me love it.
UDPATE: This has sparked a surprisingly big reaction, I guess the 1% is larger than I thought. A lot of people have pointed out 2 Chainz '2 Chaiinnnnnnz' tag before his verses and Wayne's 'lighter spark' noise. Those are good examples, although not quite the same thing. 2 Chainz saying '2 Chaiiiinnnnzzzz' is just a typical rapper ad-lib, like Jadakiss' laugh, Ross' 'Bawse' or any rapper ad-lib. The Wayne 'lighter spark' is an interesting case, I think that's actually live at the time, but a very similar concept. I still can't think of a time when someone has used a sample like this as a tag. Kanye's using it like a producer would tag their beats, but for his raps, which makes sense considering he does both.
Speaking of which, it now occurs to me that by including a sampled tag like this you're also forcing someone else to clear your sample. Drake had to also clear the Street FIghter sample for that song, which has to be a big reason why it's never (other than this) done on guest verses.

We are always working deep in the DJTT labs on new ideas that push the limits of DJing while staying within the bounds of what might be useful in a live set. Today, I am proud to introduce a new concept that has been in development for several months: super combos. A super combo is just like the Street Fighter game, where you use a few basic controls in a very specific sequence to produce different and remarkable results. Everyone knows that with the right flick of the wrist, a simple punch gets turned in a fireball in the Street Fighter series. It’s also no secret that the Midi-Fighter is inspired by that classic game, so it seemed absolutely natural to build on the concept of using secret combos in the world of DJ controllers. Continue reading for a video demo of the new “Instant Gratification” mapping for the S4, which contains super combos, free Street Fighter sound packs and a new mix contest!
This was designed for use with the S4 but can be used in a lot of other contexts. The primary requirement was instant aural destruction of any audio source with zero opportunity for messing up a song (all buttons are mapped to instant FX). This mapping takes advantage of the brand new 4 banks mode (4 banks is included in the newest firmware update), which allows the top 4 buttons to switch between 4 banks of notes. Here are the basics:
- Each bank controls one of the four decks, A/B/C/D
- Each button loads, activates and routes a specific effect to that deck
- The effects are chained (from bottom to top) so you can build on them producing almost endless sonic possibilities
- They are designed to be played in combination, similar to my original “cue point chord” concept
- There are 5 super combos hidden in the mapping
- Each combo kicks in when a specific sequence of events happen
- They are all designed to be used musically in a 4, 8 or 16 count sequence.
GET YOUR MIDI FIGHT ON!
To celebrate the mapping release and see what you can do with it, we are running a contest and providing free Street Fighter samples. Use these samples, in conjunction with any beat of your choice and a Midi-Fighter, to create your own personal brand of sonic mayhem. Create a video of the results and you can win $200 credit towards anything in the web store. Here are the steps:
- Download the Instant Gratification mapping (Midi-Fighter required for this one)
- Pick your own beat (the simpler the better!)
- Mix the 2 together in a creative way using the mapping
- Make a video of the results
- Add it as a video response to THIS VIDEO
- The winner will be announced in the forum in 30 days (March 7th)
Some recommendations would be:
Download Street Fighter 4 Free
- Sequence the samples together in a unique way (as shown in this article)
- Use another controller, like the S4 or Midi-Fighter, to launch or loop the samples over a beat.
- Take advantage of the mapping to break down the samples and the beat
- Find the super combos and show your skills!

That’s great, you might be thinking, but I don’t have a Midi-Fighter so how can I use this concept? Don’t worry, our resident mapping expert, Chris Lim, will be showing you how to track multiple button conditions using complex modifier techniques in just 2 days. Get plenty of rest and don’t forget your vitamin B kids, because this stuff is not easy!
