Gone by Kanye West

In the closing track off 2005’s "Late Registration", Cam'ron, Consequence, and Kanye West himself deliver some of their best verses ever over a classic sample of Otis Redding’s “It’s Too Late,” accompanied by an orchestra arranged by co-producer Jon Brion. Note the string progression throughout the song, particularly in verse 4, when Cons drops. Interestingly, “Gone” debuted in Billboard’s “Hot 100” chart in 2013: eight years after the release of Late Registration. .
