Now.. Before I post this video. I'd like to ask a few questions, because some of these samples I didn't know he basically re-did the beat from. I just thought he mostly had voice samples, but the video shows he takes the beats too.
Now, I remember some years ago, when Murder Inc. was on top, and I was gettin' on Irv Gotti's ass for takin' old rap beats and re-doin' them. Now Dr. Dre did some of this, but.. Dr. Dre only took peices for his song, not just throw in some extra kicks, snares, his, n 808s. I mean some shit that's really really really really tight, are actually pretty old. So, with damn near every beat you've heard Kanye do, is basically some old song with a few more tinks added it. The part we credit him for the most (cuz I surely don't think he's a great rapper,) he actually hasn't masterminded it. Not sayin' he's not capable for doin' some tight beats, because the "Workout Plan," or beats like that "B Alright" (Trina n Ludacris), track he did isn't on there. But should he get the credit he deserves?

Yo Fresh,
People give Ye props for his beats cuz
1. they don't know much better
2. they compliment his ear for music
3. compliment his knowledge for finding the samples
That's what he's good at. Finding that old shit, sampling it, speeding it up, tweaking it, and rapping over it.
He's not necessarily a beat maker like timbo or Dre.
The nickname for people like Kanye is gravediggers.
Dilla did a lot more than just speed up a sample and you'll see Kanye trying things like Dilla, but mostly he'll use the same sample Dilla did and chop it exactly like Dilla did and call it a tribute.
I see, good response
