The animation was fun. I just saw Porgy and Bess last weekend, and it was great!

Given that Kanye has produced at least one song that incorporated Nina Simone samples before (Talib Kweli's "Get By"), it is not surprising that one of his songs has significant sonic resemblances to one of her songs. In any case, if you're going to steal, you might as well steal from the best. :)
