He was similar to Nas in the while he always had good production, the production was never really the star of the show (even though P Diddy got a lot of press.) Biggy could have rapped over a Casio beat and killed it. Kanye has gotten better but he's still nothing without his production abilities.
he has, havent u seen the videos of him on the corner before he got big? also, i think puffy is a good producer, but he was planting seeds to become an mc the whole time he was producing. thats why suge knight hates him and called him out.

What did he call himself back then? Seems like his pseudonym is pretty contingent on him being big.

What a dick!

"I think what Kanye West is going to mean is something similar to what Steve Jobs means. I am undoubtedly, you know, Steve of Internet, downtown, fashion, culture. Period. By a long jump. I honestly feel that because Steve has passed, you know, it’s like when Biggie passed and Jay-Z was allowed to become Jay-Z. "

"Bruce Springsteen dropped this album called Nebraska and right after that he did Born in the U.S.A.. This next one, I have a feeling, because of what we did right now, has to be Born in the U.S.A.."

Do you know if they are touring with a live band, or just piping the pre-recorded backing tracks through the arena PA?

Looking forward to the review. I saw Kanye in 2005 supporting "Late Registration" and he personally was great, very intense, but the fact that his backing was basically just his CD being played really loud through the sound system really flattened the impact of the performance.

How is it possible that artists like Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa die young, yet this idiot is still living?

Hopefully one day he will get on one of those fuckin' Buddy Holly airplanes in a snow storm.
