Kanye West

I don't like most of the songs on his album, but I do like "Through the Wire" and "Last Call".

Does anyone else really like his music? He is a remarkable producer, and rapper.
His songs include:

It all falls down
Through the wire
Jesus Walks

as much as i agree with you in terms of him making a good impact on the british music scene, what exactly separates his "talent" as a producer/rapper from everyone else?

i do agree that he has done well, released some good collaborations, but to be honest a lot of americans release stuff here just after huge advertising campaigns. i think that really you can only say he is a good producer if he is able to keep adapting to the changing music preferences from people.

Well then we can't judge then can we, he would require long carreer which has just begun. Also I didnt say he had an impact on the British music scene, in fact I had no clue he did. In terms of adaptation he is making a remix for Maroon 5s hit single[Im reffering to it as such since I forgot the name :smile:

], working with Twista, and Maroon 5 illustrates versatility which I think hints at adaptability I think.

I really like some of his work but i think the song 'all falls down' would have been so much better if he used lauryn hill's voice. I think she's great and since it's her lyrics and that woman sings it the same way as lauryn makes me wonder why he didn't use her vocals.

yeah sure, i dont mean to have a dig at anyone, and to be honest i do agree his collaborations do show that he is capable of not just being hardcore rap/hip-hop. i do think he has the potential to become really influential.

but the only reason why said what i did earlier is because of the huge influx of rappers, half of which are good in terms of originality, but the other half have been failures. e.g. ja rule - had a couple of ok tracks but couldnt really release a track with just his name on it.

Glad sommeone else thought so. Lauryn is brilliant, 'Everything is everything', and 'That thing' are both great songs I haven't even mentioned her work while she was working with the Fugees.

Ya I have a feeling N.E.R.D/Neptunes will experience the same, even though they were number 1 in every sense last year.

Never Let You Down and Family Business are 2 great tracks off the album. I did listen to it a lot when it first came out but got bored of it pretty quickly.
