Chicago blues singer Syl Johnson says "Kanye West blew it" when it came to giving credit for sampling Johnson's "Different Strokes" record on the bonus track from Watch The Throne entitled "Joy."When asked if the track was stolen, Syl responded, "Well he didn't pay me...he used my style, my sound, my likeness." Syl points out that he knows Kanye and he's also worked with his daughter R&B singer Syleena Johnson.
This particular song has been sampled by a few hip-hop artists from Kool G. Rap to Wu-Tang Clan.
