I remember I was a Kanye fan for about a week when I first heard Stronger. I thought the rapping was dumb, but the beat was awesome, enough to excuse the halfhearted lyrics. Then someone introduced me to Daft Punk, and I learned that everything I liked about Kanye’s song was everything he wasn’t involved with.
IMO he’s a super talented producer, even if some of his samples are recognizable if you listen to the original songs. But he should never have been allowed in front of a microphone.
