I'm really fucking into Kanye West!

[mauzip]

For real, I never thought I'd be into a popular artist again as much as I'm into Kanye West right now. I think I got about everything he has put out. This guy always brings heat. His production is top notch, he barely ever disappoints. As a rapper he isn't the best one out there, but he has that vibe. That vibe only a rare amount of artists have.

Kanye = Genius

And though it may still be a bit early...

College Dropout = Classic

[white Boy]

hes not a genious, hes just "musical", and when he makes his beats, hes "original", makin his shit sound good, and its a good change from the other stuff out there, and everyone keeps hatin on his lyrics, hip hop is entertainment, you dont need to be ras kass to entertain...

I don't think it's too early. Sometimes you just know you'll still be listening to a record for years to come. College Dropout is one of those records to me. I already can't wait to hear what his next album sounds like.

[Suga Foot]

He's a cocky muafucka

[Sikotic™]

He's the best mainstream cat out right now, which is good but ain't sayin' THTA much

His album is good, but nowhere near classic.

what i've been saying ever since his album dropped

[Storm]

nowhere near a classic, you need some dope lyrics for an album  to be classic.
hes so overrated its rediculous.  he brought a whole new style to the game with his beats and maybe even lyrically and i respect him for that.  but i wouldnt quite call him original when he samples the majority of his beats, it was cool at first but now its getting kinda old.
peace

the buzz abuot kanye has died down about now.. i thought id still be bumpin collegedropout nonstop till this day.. but i havent for awhile... shit got too played out.. but i guess his album is still a lot more consistent than everyone elses.. but still nowhere near classic.

[Maradona]

He's coo... but way overrated.

[M Dogg™]

If he was still underground, just doing beats like Get By for Talib, and This Way for Dilated Peoples, the same people saying overrated would say underrated underground genious. Honestly, Kanye ain't nothing truly special, but in an area of shitty hip-hop, I think Kanye is the best hope for the future. His become mainstream, and he loves to work with true artist like Talib and Mos Def, and Common, he can be the final thing needed to break these artist from middleground, to mainsteam. He did wonders even for Dilated Peoples, who know have white people in Minnesota knowing who they are. Kanye is the best thing to happen to mainstream hip-hop since Dr. Dre left Ruthless and started Death Row records. His production is above average, but for mainstream, his the best producer out since 2001 Dr. Dre. Yeah I said it, Dre ain't got a banger on the radio for a minute, Kanye is everywhere, putting beats for people like Twista and Dilated Peoples, along with Brandy and Alicia Keys, with each style being different. Hell his own CD had many different styles to it, not just the speed sample like Through the Wire, but joints like Work Out, and Get High and Two Words. His a B+ producer, in a time with D- performers, which makes him seem like an A+ to most. But that's a good thing, since his working with the right people.
