those guys are very talented and gifted individuals, however it is kanye's artistic expression, vision and creativity that makes his music and albums in particular what they are. kanye knows who to get for what he needs done for a particular thing or 2 that he can't do himself. that's called bein' smart if one ain't capable of doin' it themselves. but that doesn't change the fact that it's still his vision, it just means he had someone assist him with what he wanted to do. but kanye's still the ringleader and "bandleader" of the show. sure, in recent years he's been more and more about collaboratin' with a team of producers however it's still kanye callin' the shots and sayin' what's what and what's not
mike dean and jeff basker are primarily producers so i'll refrain from askin' where they college dropout, late registration albums etc. but where is rhymefest's and lupe's college dropout, late registration, graduation, 808's albums etc? i ain't sayin' those guys ain't talented because they are, but where are there classic and groundbreakin' albums to prove that they have carried hip hop the last 10 years?
just because kanye collaborates with other songwriters and producers sometimes doesn't take away from his brilliance and talent. let's not act like the brother can't produce on his own and write on his own now

" as if bytchin about trivial shyt over weirdo beats that only a bunch of drunk, coked up cacs in Prague could dance to is some high form of Hip Hop artistry. The bar has gone so low its no point even being mad about it.
