    Thats exactly what I was thinking Jacob The Producer… The recent Kanye reminds me of Bob Dylan and everyone is crucifying him for the change up but this guy has been through a lot over the year… Of course he’s gonna change.

    I’ve been saying this since 808s dropped. Kanye is the new Bob Dylan. Question me? Watch any Dylan press conference from 1966 on and check how he switched his style, the fans didn’t know how to take it, and the press didn’t know how to address him. Keep going Kanye, you raise the ceiling for the rest of us producers who want to be different. http://www.myspace.com/jacobtheproducer

    well rounded person who’s influenced by anything and everything, Hip Hop would be a better place with more nigga’s like Ye.
