Samples Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Daft Punk, 2001). Daft Punk got a co-writer credit, which almost never happens in this story. Source: Wikipedia: Stronger (Kanye West song), Wikipedia: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, MusicBrainz
Was inspired by Akira (Katsuhiro Otomo, 1988). The video restages Akira, down to the medical machine Tetsuo lies in. Source: Wikipedia: Stronger (Kanye West song)
Came from Touch It (Busta Rhymes, 2005). Kanye heard "Technologic" in "Touch It" on a tour bus, didn't know Daft Punk, and went digging. That's how "Stronger" started (A-Trak, Genius, 2015). Source: Wikipedia: Stronger (Kanye West song)
