vision/feel/sound of an album IS producing... beatmaker isn't the only thing that "producer" refers to... as a matter of fact, kanye's tweaks are more in the vein of the original definition of "producer"... when i see "co-produced" by kanye, i assume he didn't come up w/ the meat of the instrumental tract... but he prob. did everything to it that makes it *work* w/ what he's trying to accomplish.. which i think is the producer's most important role..
