These two sentences kind of contradict each other. With the exception of (arguably) 808s and Graduation his albums have continued to get more and more experimental and abrasive. He is influential because he continues to push the envelope, especially as a producer. Before college dropout, no popular musician was using samples the way he did, and you can essentially use that same sentence framework (before ___ no popular musician was ___) in regards to any of his albums.
Also just throwing this out there: let's get free is a GREAT album
