I was just listening to his first three albums the other day and couldn't help but ask myself, "what the F happened?" So many of his songs are great. Graduation, IMO, will go down in history as a Hip Hop classic. The production on that album is flawless.
College Dropout was groundbreaking in that it sort of reinvented the practice of not hiding samples. Late Registration just continued what College Dropout started.
...then 808s & Heartbreaks happened followed by the death of his mother and it was downhill from there for Kanye. He was always an ignorant prick, but it was overlooked because of his producing talent.
