I'm not sure how much you listen to rap music or if you do, who you're into. I never like to debate about music because everyone is entitled to their own musical tastes. However, I will say that Kanye has progressed the rap game in terms of production. He's easily Top 3 producers in hip-hop, right now. He pushed the envelope in the early 2000's with the sped-up 45 samples that the likes of Just Blaze, Hitmakerz, Timbo and Polow have used. The College Dropout and Late Registration are he's basically given Common 2 albums that have put him on the pop culture map.I'd like you to point out the songs that you have found, "bland". ...curious to hear.
