Fair enough. I get that, and I feel that way about a lot of producers. But I've always been shocked at the quality of Kanye's samples. I mean... Aphex Twin? Daft Punk? Can? King Crimson? Section 25? Otis Redding? Nina Simone? Using Elton John and Steely Dan in ways that don't suck? I can't believe he's even heard of Section 25. In many ways I think his taste in music is one of the main reasons why his music sounds so great to me.
He sampled "Someone Saved my Life Tonight" on "Good Morning," and I used to listen to the exact little refrain he used, and think, "man, this song would be dope if it was just this part over and over again" ... And that's more or less what he did!
But, y'know, to each his own and whatnot.
