Hip-pop’s fixation with French duo Daft Punk looks set to continue, with UK grime-cum-chart success Wiley (of Wearing My Rolex fame) unveiling his latest single Summertime, which unashamedly loops the trademark melody from the robot’s 2001 tune Aerodynamic.
Of course, this is not the first time Daft Punk have had their tracks sampled by an urban artist, with Kanye West’s 2007 chart hit Stronger relying heavily on their production talents, and who could forget will.i.am’s horrendous attempt at piggy-backing on Around The World (which, thankfully, Daft Punk saw fit to deny).
Although so far we’ve only got the YouTube version of Wiley’s Summertime to go on, we can’t say we’re entirely impressed. Although, he can’t exactly be ripped apart for such an uninspiring effort as Daft Punk themselves have been criticised for their somewhat un-creative use of samples at times. What do you think?
Wiley’s Summertime:
And just because it’s so goddamn bad… will.i.am sampling Around The World:

Aren't we all beyond such uncreative loop-di-loop sampling yet? What is this? 1998? C'mon!
djbricksta says...
hmm i would still drop it at a house party because it adds something to the track but I wish he just bought it out as a bootleg of aerodynamic instead of his own track.
dj joey says...
wat a fool..nobody shuld mess with daft punkz tracks..nobody!! dey r godz of electronica..dunt mess with it
hydee says...
as much as i love daft punk and still to this day feel it was the best gig i'll ever witness, people need to MOVE ON!!!! seriously! this is such rubbish, sounds so pathetic and cheap and his rapping is terrible, bad kick drum too...at least kanye did it with style and acknowledged he's a big fan of daft but this here is just shite... in the summertime?? wtf?
djaudiophile says...
another epic hip hop fail
jay_25 says...
just lost so mch respect for wiley, and grime in general.
Marky says...
Well, if this is poop, how do you rate something like Bliss n Eso's newie, Eye of the Storm, which essentially takes its musical backing from Paper Aeroplanes by Angus
GrEnNo says...
hip hop died long ago....any hip hop genre i imediatly switch off around me.......especially when they sing if feels like there yelling, and when they talk bout bitches and guns, and blunts. pffff, so so talented hahaha what will be the next daft punk song to be used next????? any ideas????
ehcoroche says...
yeah, if it had been a bootleg and had leg daft take front and centre, i wouldnt mind so much, but this shite of sampling daft needs to end
coxdigweed says...
id sooner stand there and stomp it out to the wiggles or high 5 rather than listen to half the shit that comes out of the mouths of these hip hop/rap geezers, seriopusly they just produce shit music so kids buy the it ....fuck off and find something else to do
Spanish says...
Please dont pigeon hole all hip hop into the rubbush commercial r'n'b genre. Look at Lupe, lookt at Nas, look at Talib Kwali, there is a resurgence in socially minded and musically gifted rappers that perhaps GrEnO doesnt know about yet. Dont judge based on the pop charts, look a bit further! Terrible song!
djtrancit says...
freaking tool!
Blinky-Live- says...
bahaha, fuck that rolex song pisses me off
nathanh says...
Ohh my god.. First that Rolex track and now this. I just cant understand why?? The Daft Punk sampling has been overkilled for so long.. Its sad and funny at the same time.
Bromantis says...
the crookers remix in the recommended videos is awesome though.
macky says...
crookers make any song sound good! all artists should rely on there own talent when cconstructing a song that they are going to call theirs, if it is a remix then it is acceptable to use the same construction of the song they are remixing...
asoca_it says...
What do you expect his first song (some shit about a rolex) is bloody terrible also!!! It seems as if he is going to do nothing but release shit music that they can thrash on Today FM...
mogmac says...
i like it, lyrics, melody and grime beat flow well together. shits all over the kayne /daft shit couldn't listen to it more than twice tho
singleton says...
weily need make his own music and stop using everyone elses samples. just like he used a sample of 'DSK - What Would We Do' in his track 'Wearing My Rolex'.
ticketsplease says...
merck_bends - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJPdVVOmbz4 word. hypocrites much? at least wiley has original raps.
eddie_84 says...
Will i am is a f#*king knob, sell out..... These rappers should chime the f#*k out of electronic music (Re Kanye @ Global gathering)
Dance for me says...
wat were daft punk doing allowing this to happen???????
