Kanye constantly confuses me. Because almost all of his music is sampled, and a lot of his singles have borrowed huge tunes (Daft Punk, Otis Redding, Curtis Mayfield, Shirley Bassey) I should dislike him... but I think if anything he produces the tunes differently enough (most of the time) and adds his own label to it.
But then again if you look at a recent example of a really unoriginal sample - Beyonce's Run the World - I love that too. So maybe I'm just a mess.
