Not really. He had a whole team of sample diggers and producers by the second album. The idea that he was sourcing all these samples and producing alone is obsolete post college drop out. No he does not have the best ear. He had the best team. Of writers producers musicians differs DJs. You name it.

Kanye is a corporation and has been for 95% of his career

John Brion on late registration. And Mike Dean from Graduation onward. All the production camps and the guest producers like Pete and RZA also gifted him samples if not beats.
Kanye is the definition of a producer.

Its like trying to discredit Quincy Jones because he's not playing every instrument

A music producer oversees and guides the creation, recording, and production of music, working closely with artists and sound engineers to bring their creative vision to life. They are responsible for shaping the overall sound and artistic direction of a song or album

Say what you want about Kanye, but the Stand Up sample wasn't a standard sample flip.

He's had plenty of those in his career. See IZZO, Through The Wire, even Lucifer, etc..... this one was one of the more creative ones.
