also i hate to break it to you but kanye didn't pioneer "singing" in rap, that style of singing is fundamental to west coast hip hop since its earliest days. east coast cadence was to rap at a talking pace, west coast cadence has always been to have a bit of lyrical song in the rap delivery, some of that old Soul music influence. indeed its what made west coast rap so appealing in early 90s when it hit the mainstream, its why at parties here we DANCE (correction, boogie) to our rap meanwhile back east folks just lean back
