8. "KMD wasn't a producer though..." In response to In response to 5
Kanye's reputation was initially based on his productions and that is still how many people outside of pop-fans view him-as a rapping producer. Personally, I don't really like the types of beats he often use too much; it's stadium Hip-Hop to me-"emotionally resonant", lighters in the air type shit. Still, he has done some great beats as well...
