ur still making subjective observations under a guise of objectivity

 

One liners are dead bro. If you want to join the argument, please do so and set out your points correctly. Please show me what you're talking about. If you understood logic correctly, you will know that my post above cannot be f*cked with. I made no subjective propositions, so how could I be claiming objectivity when it wasn't required?

 

Otherwise f*ck off little boy, cos I will come to Bolton or whichever sh*t c*nt uni you're at and bully you and your boys.

 

Put it to the test.

lol why u maaaaad

/

distinguishing levels of 'genius' according to arbitary shit like the fact kanye has help, n some1 like mozart (apparently? i dont know) didnt still leads to a subjective conclusion that ye isnt a genius cos he didnt do it by himself or something

thats basically what ur sayin init?

 

imo the fact the guy is able to have so many talented musicians around him n still manage to oversee n shape the creative direction of his projects can be said to be testament to his genioorse

Lol at Kanye being a genius the guys a deluded d*ckhead. As for classic hip hop albums Kanye has never dropped and never will drop an album on par with the likes of Ready To Die, Illmatic, Doggystyle, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik etc...

 

I think Kanye is as much of a d*ckhead as the next guy, but I would put College Dropout on a par with those albums.

Neither being true.

Element of truth, but dont make him sound Diddy fraud.

truss

And pmsl at people acting like sampling isnt a hard (and a skilled part of producing). Why dont u go sampling and get a ghost writer and become a global superstar urself then.

Kayne west as a producer is far better than Kayne west the beatmaker

I'm not saying he's diddy or khaled , but let's be real here

 

 

Alex Ferguson the manager, Alex Ferguson the coach.

 

This argument is very pedantic.

Yeezy’s Clique: 12 Kanye West Co-Producers Who Deserve More Credit

 

BY BEWARE • 01.09.15

Kanye West might be one the most gifted talents in mainstream music, but that doesn’t mean he can do everything himself. In order to continue raising the bar on his high-class production style and keep setting the trends fans thrive on, the Windy City rapper-extraordinaire has always had numerous producers at his side, helping guide his sound to new altitudes. Some of them have been his proteges, while others were his mentors or contemporaries he drew inspiration from and aspired to work with. To showcase how much their contributions have meant to Kanye’s music, we wanted to share this list of these 12 producers who played key roles in all the GOOD Music we’ve come to know and love.

 

1. Brian “All Day” Miller

One of Kanye’s earliest beat collaborators was actually a producer from his first group Go Getters (with GLC, Rhymefest, Timmy G & Arrowstar). The beatmaker helped inspire his soulful sound and eventually co-produced “Breathe In, Breathe Out” off College Dropout, Cam’ron’s Purple Haze Kanye-collabo “Down & Out” and “Champions” off Graduation.

 

2. Jon Brion

After handling almost all of the production on his College Dropout debut solo dolo, Kanye enlisted veteran producer and film composer Jon Brion to help score his sophomore effort. He was brought on board as a Co-Executive Producer and earned credits on more than half the songs from Late Registration. Following their successful pairing, the only time they worked together was on the questionable “Drunk And Hot Girls.”

 

3. Devo Springsteen

Although Springsteen only has only one co-production credit with Kanye, it’s a big one – 2006’s Grammy Award-winning Best Rap Song, “Diamonds (from Sierra Leone).” However, that’s not the only way Devo has helped Kanye. Springsteen is actually Kanye’s cousin and also happened to be John Legend’s college roommate, two coincidences that wound up getting Legend signed to GOOD Music and benefited everyone involved.

 

4. Mike Dean

With credits for everyone from Scarface and Devin The Dude to Daz and C-Bo, the longtime Rap-A-Lot producer has probably helped produce some of your favorite songs. However, ever since contributing to Graduation, Dean’s multi-instrumental background has been a key asset in West’s production – lending assists throughout My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Watch The Throne & Yeezus. He most recently helped produce Ye’s new somber single “Only One” with Sir Paul 

 

5. Jeff Bhasker

Currently signed as a producer to GOOD Music, Bhasker is a classically trained Jazz pianist by nature and originally started working with Kanye as a backup keyboard player on the Glow In The Dark Tour. He eventually became West’s music director and has since helped write and produce most of 808s & Heartbreak, then contributed to MBDTF and Watch The Throne. He earned Grammys for his work on “Run This Town” and “All Of The Lights.”

 

6. Eric Hudson

Despite being relatively under the radar, this twenty-something producer from New Jersey has knocked out hits for everyone from Rick Ross and Flo Rida to Whitney Houston and Jordin Sparks. The main reason many of those transpired is his co-production credit on Kanye’s 2007 hit “Flashing Lights” – a song he apparently produced most of and Kanye wrote on the spot, before becoming one of the more heralded tracks from Graduation.

 

7. DJ Toomp

A renowned producer in his own right, Toomp has produced some of T.I.’s biggest records. Yet, in the midst of his run of hits during the new millennium, Kanye tapped into the ATL OG to put an edge on his Graduation album. In turn, fans got treated to gems like “Can’t Tell Me Nothin,” “Good Life” and “Big Brother.” Toomp also lending his talents to “Blame Game” on MBDTF.

 

8. No I.D.

This legendary Chicago producer was one of Kanye’s earliest mentors. Once Yeezy started to blossom though, I.D. saw the mutually beneficial opportunity and the relationship became more even keel. Aside from working in tandem on many of Ye’s biggest projects (MBDTF, 808s & Heartbreak, Yeezus), this all-around instrumentalist/songwriter was briefly the president of GOOD Music until 2011, when he left to pursue to his current Vice President position at Def Jam.

 

9. Plain Pat

“Plain Pat, what up?” Known throughout the industry as a vital role player in some of rap’s biggest albums from the past ten-plus years (Man On The Moon, Thank Me Later, College Dropout), this A&R extraordinaire managed Kanye’s entire early career and later ended up co-producing songs on Graduation, 808s & Heartbreak and MBDTF.

 

10. S1

Every time Kanye’s “Power” gets played in a television commercial, S1 gets a little chunk of change. As the lead producer behind his My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy single, the veteran beatmaker known as Symbolic One earned a production deal with GOOD Music and has gone on to co-produce “Murder To Excellence” off Watch The Throne and “Guilt Trip” from Yeezus.

 

11. 88-Keys

A longtime associate of Kanye, the well-respected producer/rapper 88-Keys may be best known for his Yeezy collaboration “Stay Up (Viagra)” off his 2008 solo album The Death Of Adam. In more recent years, they’ve worked together on tracks like “No Church In The Wild” off Watch The Throne and “Blood On The Leaves” off Yeezus.

 

12. Noah Goldstein

This young audio wizard is another name most won’t be familiar with, but is vital to Kanye’s current sound. As Ye’s current in-house engineer, Goldstein started working with GOOD Music around Watch The Throne and has since started to help on the production side of things, earning credits on Cruel Summer and half the songs from Yeezus.
