It is worth noting, for anyone born 1995 or later... Kanye is NOT what rap used to sound like, at all. He literally started a revolution in music & fashion. Before Kanye, 50 Cent & G-Unit were the biggest thing. It was gangster rap. They literally performed in bullet proof vests... So everyone going: "HOW COULD YOU DENY SUCH A GOOD BEAT!?!" It is easier to understand, when you understand that NOTHING sounded like Kanye...until Kanye sounded like Kanye. Lol

Thats not it. Your vision and someone else's vision is not the same. Dr Dre produced in the club track for D12 and they said it was garbage but 50 cent turned it into his biggest hit. There is a guy by the name of Max Martin who has the title for the most top 10 and most number 1 songs across rap and pop and his biggest songs were all rejected and when I say his biggest song, Kanye biggest hit wouldnt make it onto this guy hit list of his worse hit... In any case, the producer has a vision and most times the artist and the label dont want to hear it .. Cardi didnt like one of her biggest number 1 track and the label had to force her to do it.. so there are a lot of layers to get a track done since a lot of people have to cosign it. You have the manager, the crew, the artist, the writers, the a&r, the label , and I am sure I am overlooking a few other positions and people who have to like the song for it to get done and then make the album

Another great fact about the “Jesus Walks” beat. The sound that sounds just like a flute is actually John Legend doing some crazy whistling type of thing. I don’t even know how to describe it.

Sadly as a rapper Kanye wasn't "cool enough" for the A & R's and other rappers but cool enough for us. 50 ¢ had to promote getting shot to be accepted as cool, Wayne had to be surrounded by a crew and be tatted up and others had to hide intellect to get put on. So props to Kanye for staying true to himself and reaping the benefits.

As a producer, your aim isn't to impress other producers because they will always think that they can do better, and producers have a different level of listening which is listening out for super fine details, timbre, mixing standard and sound quality, all stuff that the public don't give a shit about, the buying public just want to know if they can dance to it, is the rapper or singer any good, or will it sound great through their car speakers! I've been making music since the early 1990s and most of the time, the songs that I've spent the most time on, crafting and moulding into a masterpiece are the songs that people seem to find boring, then I will play them a crappy song that I made in 15 minutes flat, a song that I was considering deleting forever, that's when everyone starts bopping, rapping, dancing or singing and then telling me that this track is big.

Also the seemingly never ending but deft and musical variations on the patterns, and how the drums and sample interact together as one. Love the channel!

Most of the songs you think kanye produced were produced by someone else and he helped coproduction so maybe we should start there... Still a genius but there is a lot that goes on behind the scene that you dont know and they dont tell.
