I'm hard pressed to find much wrong with this.
I wish the features on the last song would have been a little stronger. Danny Brown's verse on High is wack, but it's the last verse so I can skip it
That's about it. shytsville is pretty much the only beat on there I don't love. I'd heard Harold's, Deeper, Thuggin, and Shame before....but they're all fire.
Deep and Terrorist aren't on here...but they're on the deluxe.
If there's anything I would skip it would be shytsville, but even that is growing on me.
Album is fukking fire.

Depends. Honestly, even at that point (early 00's) he had a couple cats digging and finding samples for him, and some of his raps were being ghost written. No shame in that.
I don't disagree with you that Kanye's old production is dope as fukk, but there were better straight up beatmakers in the same era, like Just Blaze, Nottz, and Alchemist.
Kanye was no doubt in the top 5 in the 00's decade and pretty much stayed there the whole time. His work from Dynasty up until Late Registration also really takes me back to a very specific part of my life. There was a time when I would be excited to check out a new Rocafella release, or a new Talib Kweli album and go straight to the Kanye West tracks, and he was one of the producers that got me into production, along with Just, ALC, and 9th Wonder.
I just can't help but listen back to some of those old joints and realize that they weren't AS dope as some of his peers. Does that mean they weren't dope? Hell no.

I think early Kanye is some of the most overrated and dated sounding, cheap ass no frills soul sampled huff this side of Dipset.

Few producers fukk with Madlib when he's at his best. I think the problem, and the frustrating thing, is that there are two Madlibs. There's the Madlib who chops samples into oblivion and creates something crazy (Thuggin, Dillalade Ride, Rhimestone Cowboy, etc). But there's also the Madlib who just loops shyt. I have nothing against loops, in fact I love them. But I can love a Madlib beat while being disappointed in a sense that it's just a loop.

Homie Thuggin is one of his most repetitive looped beats he has made and still one of his best. Go to 1:08
So was Rhinestone Cowboy check 0:38

Actually I'd say both are examples of nice samples/chops, especially Thuggin since he uses 2-3 separate parts of the song.
Loop wise I was thinking more along the lines of something like this
you could argue he's using two parts of that track too but overall it just feels like a long loop to me.
