Sampling isn't even close to mastering an instrument. Sure, it's more than just grabbing whatever song and flipping a few switches, but you have the luxury of time to work with it. Being on stage playing a live instrument is nothing like playing a pre-recorded sample.
Anyways look, Kanye did the best he could, he was tryin to put pass on something a lot of black America doesn't get to see and thats anime. Kanye spends his life on beats and music, not studying anime, while he is a fan he doesn't have time to dissect every part of every movie or show he gets to watch when he has time. He pays homage to a novel film here while also being experimental with his beat back up. He doesn't go overboard and makes it only appeal to white tech-savvy America who ALREADY hates rap, but tries to entice the black America when they have a friend who might actually know what he is referencing and when something leads to another and they get a chance to show them the video the person watching it wont be so defensive as they would have been if they didn't have Kanye's approval.
You my good sir are an IDIOT, obviosly you haven't seen Akira, interstella 5555 has something like this but please watch Akira before you say anything like that.
