Kanye is good, in my opinion, one of the best in hip-hop right now. I'm not a big fan of gangster rap (50 Cent...), nor am I a fan of 'snap rap.'

Kanye West is pretty good at what he does... I know that a lot of people have a problem with his method of sampling because he does tend to take large chunks of other songs. But he makes good use of them.

I think that the Daft Punk sample he's taken for Stronger sounds better in that context than it did in the original song, actually.

Graduation is a great album. He owned 50 cent with curtis

He's the biggest name in rap, and doesn't show any signs of slowing down.

Yeah, I can see him sticking around for a lot longer, even if he's just in the background as a producer.
