I don't know guys, I think Kanye's samples are dope and eclectic as hell pretty much all the time.
Keep saying he listens to shit, but again, fucking Aphex Twin? Can? Daft Punk (ok, so some DP is total shit but whatever, some of it is great) and Fucking Section 25?
I'm not seeing it, bros. Kanye loves great music, gets geeked about it, uses it in his music, makes me geel over it.
Also I take issue with anyone who tries to lump Kanye in with "other popular rappers" or current rappers. It's not something that can be done. Who's he like? Who, in any way, sounds like Kanye or does what Kanye does? I'll tell you who... Black Milk. That's pretty much it. Black Milk is like the deep underground Yeezy and he's doper than hell!
You just can't talk about Kanye and generalize what you're saying to "modern rap" because popular rap is Thug, Future, trap shit.... None of it has the feel of ye's multi-genre soul-blender style. It's all niche shit. It's like trying to talk about Michael Jackson in the context of fucking UB40.
