he's a great producer, but you guys tend to take it a little too far on this forum.
kanye has literally carried hip hop and rap music on his back for the past 10 years

Yeah.
Kanye has done a lot in terms of bringing balance to Hip Hop. There was a point before College Dropout that you wouldn't hear a song like "All Falls Down" or "Jesus Walks" getting as much play as a club record or a street record. He's also done a lot in terms of pushing the music forward with albums like Late Registration.
Beyond that point, I think Kanye's done a lot of trend-hopping himself. After Late Registration, Kanye was jumping on a few bandwagons himself. With Graduation, it was the stadium sound which that particular sound was basically his version of T.I.'s "What You Know About That". He even got DJ Toomp to produce records for that album. Even more prevalent is him jumping on the "featuring T-Pain" and "featuring Lil' Wayne" trend that dominated 2006-2009. Then in 2008, he started using auto-tune after it was already trendy with T-Pain blowing up and even more trendy when Wayne started using it.
IMO, it just seems like it became the norm or the cool thing to label anything he does as "classic", "ground breaking" or "envelope pushing". I see it as the same thing that Wayne did when calling himself the "best rapper alive". Kanye attached such titles to himself ("ground breaking", "high end art", "envelope pushing) to the point of saying that a critic wasn't credible unless they praised his music as such. As much as people say, "Well, the media hates Kanye", he still gets glowing reviews from them. Music writers have propelled Kanye into a realm that they haven't done for any other rapper. He's heralded as the most important artists in music and some have gone as far as to place his albums over all time greats of any genre.
With that said, I feel like My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was Kanye bucking trends and him really doing him. I don't think it was a Top 10 album, all time of any genre that it was made out to be, but it's a great album nonetheless. Even Watch The Throne had it's moments. I still don't think much of Cruel Summer or Yeezus.

i respect your opinion and you cool as well but you really ain't like none of his albums after college dropout and late registration?
graduation was great and 808's and heartbreaks was an experimental album that was nice. then he came right back with my beautiful dark twisted fantasy
now i get why most didn't like the yeezus album because that album went so far left field that i don't think many were prepare for it. however i've liked it since i first heard a few months back. i think it was kanye once again showin' how he evolves with his music and finds new ways of expressin' and reinventin' himself through new sounds etc

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is the best rap album of the decade.
Kanye is an all around artist who likes to experiment with different genres of music and make it into something that is technically hip-hop.
Ye is an artist and at that, he's one of the most creative artists in the mainstream, period.
That and the fact that Ye can afford much better production and is also one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time.
Plus the fact that Ye is one of the few people in music who understands the power of collaboration when it comes to making a project.

Look at all the hate Ye gets. Same nikkas that ride Drizzy like he's the greatest thing since Jay.
