Batman Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I've heard that song, and have also wondered who he sampled it from, or if he sampled it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie_sane Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Check out the user comments on the Songfacts for Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. There are some users that are currently debating the similarities between Kashmir and Lose Yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I'd have to agree with Kashmir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daslied Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 OK, I believe that this is NOT a sample. I think someone actually played it. It is somewhat similar to part of the "Kashmir" riff. It's even in the same key. The first chord in each is actually a standard guitar "power chord", utilizing the notes D and A (the first and fifth scale degrees in the key of D). The second chord has a D and a Bb (the first and flatted/minor 6th scale degree). The top note in "Kashmir" goes up chromatically two more half steps (to B natural and C) while maintaining the pedalled root note of D. "Lose Yourself" simply rocks back and forth between the top A and top Bb, with the pedalled D root note. The rhythm is different in each song (eighth notes in "Lose Yourself" and 16th notes in "Kashmir), and the guitar tone and actual guitar used are different. "Kashmir" was played on an open-tuned Danelectro guitar, probably on the bridge pickup (a thinner, brighter tone) and "Lose Yourself" is most definitely a Fender Stratocaster-type guitar, using the neck pickup (a fatter, warmer tone). The distortion on each guitar is different as well. I can't believe I just theoretically analyzed an Eminem song...but just trying to help!

Earth-Angel Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I would agree with it not being an actual sample, but the similarities are unmistakable! Thanks for the breakdown though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
