Before he was a Rapper, though, he was THE producer. Alicia Keyes, Janet Jackson Jermaine Dupri, Mobb Deep, Eminem...
he produced and wrote almost all the big hits of Jay-Z's Blueprint (which could arguably be the best album of Jay-Z's career), including Izzo.
plus, he is a snappy dresser. He brought Izod back fromther dead, AND brought it into the hip hop community.
and that is why Kanye thinks he is shit dont stink...
well said, my sister!

Like someone mentioned, in his songs it isn't about gangstas and hos. He has gone through a lot (he was in a really bad car accident) and I think he just doesn't know when to censor himself. I love his new song Stronger. thank you, my sister!
wake up people and don't kill the messenger! jmho~

I had never heard of Kanye until the Hurricane Katrina fundraiser when he said that "George Bush doesnt care about black people" and Michael Myers had the most priceless expression ever. Every music awards show, he flips out if he doesnt win something. I get tired of him always blaming it on race. He needs to get over himself. No one cares what color he is, artists dont always win awards. I always look forward to what he is going to pull at every music awards show, lol.
