    Moes! Inhale, lay back, enjoy the beats. "Stronger" with Daft Punk. The lyrics ring true, and the whole production. Just bad ass.

    Good times like now listening to Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth.

    Okay...

    Nobody is saying he's better than ATCQ...

    Kanye has vision, he know what people like without giving them trash like Waka Flocka's **** ass trap music.

    Oh and Jay-Z's net worth is almost half a billion, where's yours at ?

    Kanye is a genius but it all comes from the man up top, how do you go from selling crack cocaine on the streets of Brooklyn to being the part time owner of Arsenal, 40/40 nighclubs, Def Jam Records endorsing Chevy, Budweiser, Armadale Vodka, Hewlett Packard not to mention his tours and 11 platinum albums... in the span of 14-15 years ? He signs Kanye, Jadakiss, Rihanna, Wale, J. Cole and Jay Electronica to his label.

    Gtfo out of here with this bs, the man is a genius. Give credit where credit is due.

    Really, man?? You're bashing the guy and you don't even know what his name is yet?? It's Kanye, not Kayne.

    He's really not THAT misunderstood. Its that in America unbridled ego and free expression is something people deep down want. To say and act and do whatever you like is a coveted thing. So in the end he gets credited for "breaking the mold".

    People generally don't like assigning genres and labels to music. But it seems people still lump hip hop under one big umbrella term even when there's different types of hip hop (gangsta rap, trap music, krunk, horrorcore, etc). But Kanye isnt really following hip hop "as we know it" (nor have other producers even). Maybe its time to add in another term. "Electro/Trance posing as hip hop" isnt a good enough label :p

    Similar with R&B, its like the dance remixes of songs are now THE MAIN sound. Usher is nothing but that now. I guess America has finally caught on with Europe's more accepted mainstream electronic sound.

    Maybe not Urban Outfitters, but American Apparel friendly. (Which is even more indie then Urban Outfitters) Kanye shops there on a regular basis.

    Ha, I didn't even realize I misspelled his first name in the title until someone pointed that out!

    At any rate, I listened to Kanye's latest album and the first time through I was impressed. Dark Fantasy and Gorgeous were songs that immediately grabbed me. Power might be my favorite song on the entire album. The next 3 (All of the Lights, Monster, and So Appalled) were good but not as good as the first 3 songs. Devil in a New Dress is one of the best tracks on the album and I really liked Runaway although I am not sure if the last 3 minutes of that song was needed. The last couple of tracks to end the album, IMO, were weaker than what came before it but all in all, this album impressed me and showed me that not all rap and hip-hop is crap. I do wish Kanye's flow was a little better but the guy is brilliant when it comes to the samples.

    So, what are the best songs from each of his albums? What would you say are his 10 best songs? How would you rank his albums from 1 to 5? What is the best album he produced that he did not perform on (is it by Common or someone else)?
