The thing is a lot of people do not realize exactly how influential Kanye West has consistently been over the last two decades. I'm talking arguably the single most influential artist, hands down. By the time his lifetime ends I am willing to make a bet he makes his mark on every aspect of art their is. This guy is alway creating, genuinely inspiring.
Many people also do not realize Kanye didn't even start his career as a rapper, but instead as a producer and that's something to take note of. He is the mastermind behind countless hits and just this last week Complex released this list of his top 50 Beats Kanye made for other Artists. It's hard not to be impressed by the end of the list.
