  • COMMON IS A GREAT ARTIST, SO IS KANYE.

  • @CustomBumpMaker & @HARRYMARIA Kanye is an awesome producer. So is Dilla.

  • Stay positive, keep evolving.

  • @Budget0000000

    Like I said, pure conjecture. You don't that was the reason. Neither you or I know him personally so it's pointless to act like either of us know his personal intentions.

  • @aunicornist888 did you overcome them for money, like common? lol

  • @Budget0000000

    Well that's pure conjecture on your part. People can overcome their prejudices, that's a fact. I used to be prejudiced against gay people, but I learned to accept them for who they are.

  • @aunicornist888 people should know it happened because it did. he didn't change he's just an opportunist who now spews hatred of white people behind closed doors and then smiles in their faces.

  • @Budget0000000

    So, you're going to hold him on something he said over a decade ago, completely disregarding the fact he may have changed as a person since then?

  • @CustomBumpMaker,

    Let me I've heard all of his Slum Village shit and his solo works and none of those beats blew me away.

    Kanye has produced for...

    J Dilla, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Jay-Z, Dead Prez, Dilated Peoples, Slum Village, Twista, Common, Consequence, Beanie Sigel, Nas, Mobb Deep, Jadakiss, Rhymefest, Lupe Fiasco....

  • @HARRYMARIA

    I lol'd so hard at the part of your comment saying "Dilla never made anything out of this world."

    OBVIOUSLY haven't heard any of his unreleased material.

    And he samples vocals, so did Dilla? Premo? And Pete Rock. Kanye is a horrible producer, try making AMAZING tracks for ATCQ, De La Soul, Pharcyde, Biggie Smalls, and anyone else worth mentioning.

    You're using an overrated argument.
