this dude's musical prowess is on a whole nother level. he is on his way to becoming this generation's next MJ and beyond. he has already worked with MJ and he has even worked with the legendary Jay-Z. his music and sample blending talent rivals the best of the best. here's a few of my favorite tracks from Mr. West: POWER - this one is my favorite from him, it goes hard Dark Fantasy, Gone, Say You Will, The New Workout Plan, Love Lockdown, Runaway, Heartless, and pretty much every track he has made are works of awesomeness. what is your favorite kanye west track? favorite album? if you haven't blessed your ears with this genius' music, do so asap.

No. He used a Daft Punk song for the background beat to one of his songs. Daft Punk is amazing and he sullied their good name. A thousand times, no.

Kanye's version was bland, overly derivative, and more than anything else, uninspired and cliche.

with other songs like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6CJQ_hnm24 and more from his mbdtf album

And then seeing him do shows like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTnJj14RhR0

Name one other artist who enters a stadium from a 50 feet crane then starts rapping next to a dozen ballerinas dancing then does **** like

Kanye is easily the best modern rapper period, this is from both a mainstream and underground point of view. However, don't go dissing Daft Punk as they created pretty much the electronica/techno music modern kids listen today...Except theirs was actually good.

i'm not saying he sucks,but he's not even close to becoming the next MJ.and also daft punk is not repetitive and boring.daft punk has produced lots of great albums for another artists and has lots of musical achievements that makes them far beyond what zuma is trying to make them look like.kanye is nothing against them.

MJ is a litte to far. But Kanye, like mj has done an amazaing job of clashing diffrent aspects of culture and art and fusioning them togheter to a point where it compliments each aspects.

Not hatin'. Just that he's nowhere near a genius. You're a big fan. I understand and respect that. But honestly, he's just another rapper. Also, I could be a genius. You can't know that.

I wouldn't say best modern rapper since I think his rhymes can be silly at times. However I would agree best modern hip-hop producer.

Mos Def sh!ts on this guy, and his beats actually have a degree of thought put into them.

Kanye needs to get decent beats and whine less. I picked up My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy based on the hype and it's meh at best. There's a few decent-okay tracks like "Power" and "Monster" though.

Music is in my opinion a expression of the musicians soul and this guy doesn't seem to have one... explains why he almost always uses samples and has a monstrous ego.

He's an above average rapper and an incredible producer. College Dropout and MBDTW were great albums.
