Quick Hit: Will Ferrell on the Most Unlikely Hip-Hop Sample of the Year

I think most of use had the same reaction the first time we heard Jay-Z and Kanye's "Niggas in Paris". Wait, did Kanye just sample "Blades of Glory" on one of the biggest hip-hop albums of the year? Yep, he sure fucking did, and today Will Ferrell broke the story down to MTV:

"Kanye reached out to me and I said, ‘Of course’. I was completely flattered when they asked if they could sample me into the song … and when I heard it for the first time, I just started to laugh because it felt so surreal. But I really did like the song. We were trying to film a piece that they would use on the video boards of their concert, but haven’t gotten it together. I think [something from] Step Brothers would be good [to use in a song]. Or the Woody Allen movie I did, Melinda and Melinda. It makes me feel very good. And completely justified for buying a V-neck sweater made out of nothing but diamonds."

Great idea Will. Somebody get on that "Step Brothers" sample immediately.
