Kanye is a producer before an MC, don't get why he wouldn't produce his whole album by himself.  But those three are fantastic producers so I'm sure it won't hurt.

Hopefully they will lead him away from the Autotuner.

Kanye can drop some awesome beats, especially for himself.

i'm hyped for this album as long as he gets back on the right track.

I've always preferred the beats he's given to other artists.

he's given some dope ones to other people; but his albums production is always dope.

i loved Graduation's production, i want his next album to sound like that.

Kanye was an mc/rapper before he was a producer. He only started making beats to rap over his own shit.

I'm liking this, i have a feeling Kanye might just leave the autotune alone for this album.

[woof]

Don't know if that's right, but he certainly was a known for his producing before his rapping.  With songs like Beans' "The Truth", Jay's "Heart Of The City", Scarface's "Guess Who's Back" and so on.  He's a producer first, MC second.  He had many great songs before The College Dropout came out.

mainstream he became a hit producer first, labels were hesititant to promote him as he wasnt a generic street type rapper..
