I've gotta give it up for Kanye. He came out with an alternative rap album and was able to penetrate the mainstream with a style that was something radio listeners weren't used to hearing. He has really come to the top of the game in an industry full of cheap snap music artists and dime-a-Dozen crunk music artists. He has really clever lyrics, and obviously he has great production, being a great producer himself.
He is really one of the few mainstream rap artists that are actually helping the genre. Great stuff. Get his first album, College Dropout. So many good songs on that album, Never Let Me Down, Through the Wire, Get 'Em High, Jesus Walks, New Workout Plan, All Falls Down, an all around great album.
