Bad News

About Bad News

Along with “Say You Will”, “Bad News” is one of the more instrumental tracks on "808s & Heartbreak". The first two minutes features Kanye’s vocals. The song then shifts into instrumental territory with an orchestrated version of the main melody, followed by a refrain of bare drumming and low octave harmonics. Kanye uses the sample "See-Line Woman" from Nina Simone's "Feeling Good" album. .
