OK, I think he deserves more credit for the fact that he influence the new hybrid breed of hip-hop artists that I enjoy so much. The likes of Wiz Khalifa, Kid Cudi, B.o.B, J.Cole etc etc etc. Not all of them have listed Kanye as an influence but you can tell. He used to have great rhyming and emceeing skills, and trust me he still does. His production ALWAYS has a nice jazzy feel, but always creative, fresh, innovative and clean. He has a nice ear for hooks, and features. Dude runs a great label, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is as close to a classic that I've heard in a while. He is like Kid Cudi to me, I absolutely love his music and persona but he will never be in my top ten because his lyrics and technicalities aren't up to par. He will go down as a musical legend though.
