I think you said in another thread that you believe this is a classic album. What I want to know is this: Did Kanye sample a lot on this CD?
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Every classic hip hop album has samples on it.
It does not take a genius to realize that rappers/producers sample.

When I saw the name Kayne and hip hop genius in the same sentence, my response was just like yours. Basically, I was like whofarted and what have they been smoking to make such false baseless statements.

I really like Kanye's rhymes. I like his production. I like his honesty.

But is he really a "genius"? I ain't saying no. But I can't say YES at this point.

you people are going to shocked when you finally hear the album, it's a classic, it is however not the greatest album ever produced as he has said. He's very talented but snorts too much coke when he does interviews and goes so far up his own ass. still amazing album would even better if he didn't hype it because he is misleading people and making their expectations too high

I think the operative word is "hip hop" genius...What's so unbeliveable about that?

This album sounds good on paper..I cant wait to hear it....but this is the sad thing about the whole Kanye situation....I cant recall another artistic/positive male rapper that has staying power...I wish him a lot of success in the future but I just dont beleive that he will be "at the top" for long simply cuz of his positivity..its sad but probably gonna end up being true

For the sake of musical discussion and not turning this into a "hip-hop hate" thread;

How has Kayne's production innovated from Dr. Dre and Timbaland in your opinion?

Years ago Puffy was using a lot of 80's samples and imagery of "The Good Life."

Aside from samples emotionally how is Kayne able to connect on a big level? He and 50 both seem to be survivors but from two different walks of life and people really relate to that.

Eventhough I can't stand Kayne in major way, I find that his lyrical content sets him apart from 50. Whereas, 50 voice projects the same monotone sound while saying his rhyme, and uses the same repetitive beat pattern.

LOL..yea Kanye is stuck on himself..! LOL

but to be honest, I think Kanye is much more talented than 50. I think Kanye is a more encompassing artist, whereas 50 is a "rapper." a Corny one at that...I think Kanye and Common or Mos Def would be a more complimentary pair

ugh Kanye is more than that. This new album shows he has very experimental ideas and I can sense that he wanted to go even more out of his way.
