Kanye West cannot be stopped!

Why you can't take it away from 
Kanye West.

Before going up on stage at a TV show recently in Kent, England, West demanded that his dressing room carpet be ironed, and that the entire room be ripped down and redecorated entirely in white! The show's lineup for the evening consisted of 'Sting' and 'The Kings of Leon' besides himself but the rapper adamantly insisted that more than half of the studio's 15 dressing rooms be allotted to him and his crew. He got his way, but his performance that night was rather incredible.

Behavior like this from Kanye over the years has led to people branding him "pompous", "diva-ish" and even "prickly", what with him interrupting little miss Taylor Swift's speech at the VMAs and all that. BUT SHOULD HE CARE? NO. Absolutely not. And let me tell you why.

Music is about output, and work and a musician must only be judged for his work. And Kanye West has proved, album after album, song after song, that put aside what he may do backstage, put aside what "The World" thinks of him, the man is A GENIUS. In the face of sporadic bouts of criticism every now and then over some issue or the other , Kanye  has been releasing production after spectacular production at a level of ingenuity and freshness no other artists share. 

His technique of taking a 'vocal piece' from a song and using this as a sample which he edits and loops to create the main base for his record is something he has achieved a lot of success with. Some songs employing this method with great success : 

Otis 

What was originally an Otis Redding song
"Try a little tenderness" 

is turned into this masterpiece with Jay-Z...

Stronger
This was originally created by french electronic duo Daft Punk in 2001 under the title "Harder Better Faster Stronger"

turned into one of his most successful songs to date.

Other great songs like these include "Gold Digger featuring Jamie Foxx that uses a chorus line from Ray Charles' "I Got a Woman".

Kanye has performed with musicians from every genre and style, from Jamie Foxx to Rihanna to  John Mayer. When it comes to the best music productions in the industry, this man is in a class of his own.
Haters Gonna Hate.

Black Skinhead (Yeezus, 2013)
Although i am not a fan of how he merges his name with Jesus!, i don't know why VH1 decides to keep it at the bottom of it's top ten list. This record is an absolute spectacle of a production employing elements and sounds you've never heard before.

Scary, almost Roman type horns begin the song with faint screams interspersed with weird humming, the whole thing mounted on a very rhythmic, tribal beat.

Still from the music video

"Middle America packed in, came to see me in my black skin"

"At the top floor they gone come to kill King Kong"

The lyrics touch on sensitive racial issues still prevalent in modern America with Kanye lashing out at the white dominated American public. "Gone come to kill King Kong (Kanye)"

"Claiming I'm overreacting"

"Like them black kids in Chiraq bitch"

Meaning the media in America cares more about deaths in Iraq than black kids killed in street violence in America's towns.

Drums clutter together in the hook into the chorus where the lines begin with "screams" that sound more like an animal's disturbed screeching, again, never before seen productional elements. Famed rocker Lou Reed states "No one's near doing what he's doing, it's not even on the same planet"

Jay-Z maybe the greatest rapper in hiphop, but when it comes to the most creative, ingenious, mind popping musical productions there is, no one does it better than Kanye West.
