Kanye was a producer way before and people told him he'd never make it as a performer. He made Jay-Z's Blueprint album and a slew of other peoples' hits. I personally love his ego because he earned it and I ignore when people complain. 808's and Heartbreak isn't my favorite because me and autotune are enemies but it's still got a few good tracks to it. If you look for the song Hey Mama from the 50th Grammy's, it's redone as a memorial to his mom passing away from the surgery complications. I still watch it off and on because it's the most human and raw I've seen him but it's sad. I've seen him only once after Matisyahu at HFStival but he gets a crowd going.
Common I've loved since a while back....this song I Used to Love H.E.R. and then I got stuck on I Am Music w/ Jill Scott from Electric Circus. Been buying his albums for a while but didn't like Finding Forever as much as I did his other albums. There's a movie called Freedom Fighters that Will.I.Am produced with a song I Have a Dream....Common is a genius with that song. A very aware guy there and between his and Andre 3000 it's a hard to say who I've been the bigger fan of....Outkast old school is just as thought provoking.
It's odd because I bounce all genres....I just depotted 13 eyeshadows to Madonna - Confessions on a Dance Floor. Music switches up with no pattern.
